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.
Obligatory link to my effort post on this phenomenon (reddit link because the OG here is in archive limbo)
It's an American thing for sure. Pitbulls are considered the black man's dog here and the parallels in reporting on black men and pitbulls are almost uncanny.
That's insanely untrue where I live, in new England. I see tons of white people with pitbulls
In the south it's a lot more prevalent, also California.
I can assure you that my hatred of dogs that are capable of killing people in public spaces is pure.
That's interesting, thanks for sharing.
Just look at this article, they chose an image of a seemingly violent pitbull with no context. Same as now anytime a black person is in any way involved in any sort of story they use mugshots or pictures of them from Facebook where they look violent.
