Forget pit bulls for a moment. We should ban all pugs and let that breed die out. They're basically born to suffer. Humans took inbreeding too far with those dogs.
Banning kennel clubs would be another good move to avoid more breeds turning into pugs.
Dogs are fine no matter what breed but many dog owners are irresponsible and shitty and that's why I hate dogs
Pitbulls are good and people who dislike them are fuckin dumb idiots. Mostly stupid parents of stupid kids.
Chud I know has a pit bull he adopted. The dog has had all kinds of health problems and he spends shit loads of money at the vet. I guess it's better than him donating to the trump campaign? Critical support for that particular pitbulls critical condition.
I see this all the time with dogs and chuds. If only they could have the same empathy for human beings.
I guess it’s because their material conditions don’t rely upon exploiting dogs.
Caring for pets (especially dogs) seems to be something that breaks through all tendencies and leanings -- lib, chud, leftist.... everybody can love dogs.
Guns shouldn’t exist either but they do. What are you going to do? Ban them?
Under no pretext should pups and puppies be surrendered; any attempt to de-dog the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

Neuter all domestic animals, they are a mistake. Animals shouldnt be pets or food, they should be wild and roaming free
That’s stupid. So use of animals in countries where a majority of farmers can’t afford farm equipment should just starve?
fuck Balto too. He should’ve stayed wild and let that girl die of a preventable disease. Right?
Alright, since this is a struggle session, I'll say something particularly controversial: pitbulls are not particularly worse than other dogs. It's simply that all dogs are bad. They all bite people and other animals unprovoked, they all bark all the time, and they are, in general, just kind of gross.
Sure, but dogs are better for companionship than a lot of other animals.
I don’t like that like 75% of the dogs at my local shelter are pit bulls or pit bull mixes. They’re mostly fine dogs but I’d like a different kind of dog but I would feel bad buying from a breeder (and don’t want to spend four figures on some fancy dog).
Hypoallergenic dogs are a ridiculous racket. My mom is allergic, so when I was younger we had to get a poodle mix. Four figures, plus 5 if we bred her. Add on to it she's a breed (Labradoodle) with a sensitive stomach who racked up another good chunk in vet bills, and it would have been functionally unattainable for even a normal American family.
My old next door neighbour had a staffie. We were on the 3rd floor so it must have been a pain to walk every day but he did.
I swear to god the daft thing was about 80% drool.
This anti-pitbull bias must end. It's for this reason that if my dog bites someone in my home (which she does fairly regularly), it's not covered under my insurance.
Could it be that the insurance company is wrong? No, it's the municipal bans that drive up capitalist exploitation.
I live in a city and most of the time when I see pit bulls they’re dragging 90lb white women down the street while they barely hang on for dear life. Most people do not have the time needed to devote to training them and most people wouldn’t be able to restrain them if they want to kill. On top of this, they have an unpredictable tendency to randomly attack or kill other animals and people. On three occasions I have witnessed pit bulls break free of their incompetent owners grip and attempt to kill whatever set them off. I’ve seen one dog get ripped to shreds and I’ve had a pit charge at me only to get yanked back at the last moment by a stranger who grabbed his leash. There is a ton of fair criticism for people who are anti-pit bull, but I swear to god if I hear one more person talk about “nAnNY DoG” or accuse me of being racist for having genuine concerns about a specific dog breed I’m gonna lose my shit. There’s nothing racist about disliking pitbulls. We bred them for specific, violent characteristics and many of them(not all of them) tend to exhibit those characteristics in an unsafe way.
Do you support going house-to-house rounding up and killing any family dog that vaguely looks like a pit bull, like they did in Denver? Perhaps certain breeds should be phased out with bans on breeding, but this approach is bad.
there are better solutions than that for sure. I don’t support that. Bans on breeding and sterilization are better approaches.
On top of this, they have an unpredictable tendency to randomly attack or kill other animals and people.
This is a stupid opinion and you deserve to be bullied for saying something as dense as this. I'm hoping you'll return to this comment between asking for the manager and making racially profiled calls to the police to come back here and learn something.
There’s nothing racist about disliking pitbulls.
Not always, just a majority of the time.
We bred them for specific, violent characteristics
No, they were bred for size, muscle, and "loyalty". Which is different. Just because German Shepards are used as cop dogs doesn't mean every one is going to snitch on you for having drugs. That's not how things work.
You're not wrong that a lot of people don't or aren't willing to put in proper time training dogs (of any breed) in the ways that they need to and buy them as an accessory instead of bringing them into your family as a part of it. However, literally any dog above like 50 pounds has the capability to be dangerous to an adult and like any pet above like 25 lbs has the potential to be dangerous to a child. On top of that, humans are a much greater threat to other humans than dogs but you're not talking about rounding them all up.
Instead of demonizing the animals for people's shortcomings we should be offering up free training to people so that they can handle the dogs that they choose to adopt.
I love how you called me racist for complaining about pitbulls lmaoooooo. You idiots have infested every corner of the internet. Look up why Pitbulls are named pitbulls. They are descended from bullbaiting dogs that were specifically bred to bite and hold bulls and other animals’ faces. Pitbulls are more prone to unpredictable aggression and the stats on maulings back that up. Look up some articles about mauling and you will inevitably read the pit’s owner saying “he was so lovely and loyal and he’s never done anything like this before blah blah blah”. Even with training, they have this propensity.
On top of that, humans are a much greater threat to other humans than dogs but you’re not talking about rounding them all up.
You’re a clown lmao. Dogs are not people everyone. Of course humans are more dangerous than pitbulls. Once again. It’s not racist to have issues with pitbulls. It’s not the pitbulls fault that they eugenicized into dangerous animals and it’s not their fault that most people can’t handle the responsibility of owning one, but it’s crazy to think that this is a problem that can be solved with “free training,” which is a pipe dream in of itself. I don’t support the policy of going door to door and massacring pitbulls, but living in a city for years has shown me the danger that they can pose and people like you who try to compare a breed of dog that is a complete victim of violent human intent and eugenics with people who have a different skin color sicken me.
Pitbulls are more prone to unpredictable aggression
And you think that's due to DNA and not training?
you think
Your first mistake was assuming they actually think.
I'm not wasting my time with most of your comment after the first few lines. It's telling that I never actually called you racist and you got this defensive about it.
I'm not saying "you are a racist". I'm just saying that, at least in the anglo world, pit bull hate is largely centered around racial lines. So maybe its something you should have some introspection on before lashing out at others.
TTYL BBY :comrade-doggo:
I’m hoping you’ll return to this comment between asking for the manager and making racially profiled calls to the police to come back here and learn something.
???? Thanks for not wasting any more of my time. I’ll call you up next time I need an absolute galaxy brain.
I'm calling you a Karen, because you hold a Karen-like opinion. Not calling you racist explicitly.
"Pit bulls aren't any more likely to bite than another breed of dog"
Yes this is true. This is also true of a fucking T-rex.
I have watched 30 people try to detach a pitbull from another dog, and fail.
30 people? I have been around pit bulls the majority of my life and I haven’t seen 30 pit bull fights. Do you live at the dog fighting ring?
30 people
I feel like after about 3 people you get into diminishing returns in this situation.
After some point, it's just a conga line attached to a dog fight
My pit was harmless. He would chase our rabbit and when he caught it he'd just carry it around in his mouth. He never snapped at anyone. They're powerful dogs though. He dragged me through the mud in the pissing rain for 10 minutes because he seen a cat on our usual field. I'm about 200 pounds and he dragged me like I was nothing. I understand why people want Pits. They've got the best personality out of all dogs imo.
