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.

      There is certainly a discussion to be had about domesticated dogs, I disagree that it's inherently immoral as another poster said because the domestication of dogs (like cats) was a much more mutual affair than other domesticated animals in human history, but selective breeding is absolutely a horrible practice.

      As for licensing or anything like that I don't even know how that would look, but those are not what this post is about.

          Like I said that is a discussion for a different thread of its own feel free to post it!

          This is specifically about how pit bull hysteria is born out of stereotypes regarding genetic predisposition to violence.
