On Tuesday, December 20, staff and students at Willard Intermediate South school were injured when two dogs identified as a pit bull mix breed made their way into the playground.

That's not a fucking pitbull then IS IT?!

The dogs were euthanized in order to be tested for rabies. The tests will be completed today, and we expect to have results within the next couple of days. During the investigation, it was determined that one of the dogs was not vaccinated and no proof could be provided that the other was up to date on its vaccinations.

So it could've been rabies but you go straight to the bullshit bioessentialism and insinuation that genetics can predispose one to violence.

    Is a pit bull better at ripping your throat out?

      Is a Rottweiler? How about a German Shepherd? Or a Catahoula? How about a Ridgeback? See how this is a stupid arguement?

          Okay and implement that how? Through the racist redlining approach detailed in the post I linked?

          All dogs are dangerous and we have coevolved for tens of thousands of years so what are you advocating? There are only two conclusions to this and that is the forced extinction of domesticated dogs or selective breeding both of which are bad.

          Gonna ban all cats too?

          See where this goes?

          Remember dogs (and cats) are not like other domesticated animals we essentially domesticated each other (in the case of cats I would say there is an argument to be had that they domesticated us).
