I love all dogs but I can still appreciate a good pitbull eating kids joke. He just looks so happy.
It's just got as a sidedish the face of its owner.
You mean the literal dog whistle for racists? Because a large portion of pit owners are POC so they get to spew their hate without saying it out loud. Ever wonder why they get all bloodthirsty about killing those dogs? There ya go.
I was mauled by a German Shepard with shitty owners when I was a kid. They're literally trained for military and police work, yet where are the GSD hate groups? It's almost like the people who hate pits, are the same who bootlick LEO and have thin blue line stickers. It's almost like breeds don't matter, it's the training by the owners.
Even despite that experience, I don't hate GSD, I hate shit owners. Shit owners make shit dogs. It's either that or Patrick Stewart is secretly pulling the veil over all of us.
But it's not really the dog they hate... so yeah let's not have them here.
Has anyone even mentioned the ethnicity of the owners though?
Pitbulls account for 70% of fatal dog attacks, while only being 6% of dogs. It's not a dog whistle, pitbulls are a violent and dangerous breed, and everyone I know with a pitbull is white as fuck.
Nope, pitbulls are a violent and dangerous breed. Labradors vastly outnumber them, yet never kill anyone. And there's plenty of shitty Labrador owners out there.
Breeds do matter, and shit breeds make for shit dogs.
… GSDs are just as common on banned breed lists as pitties.
It's the same deal as them hating welfare, weed, crack, the homeless, the poor, and people with "low IQ" (That one's mainly Jordan Peterson).
It's a tried and true strategy to push minorities into poverty and bad/desperate communities, then turn around and use that as justification to discriminate against them, "but not for their skin color, it's because of xyz".
What discourse? A bunch of people spewing debunked myths that align with their personal beliefs yelling at a bunch of people with thought out positions based on research?
lol both sides will read this comment and think you're talking about the other one
Thank you Gaylord_fartmaster. You recognizing the joke is the highest praise a poster can desire.
They were literally bred to fight
Most pit bull-type dogs descend from the British Bull and terrier, a 19th-century dog-fighting type developed from crosses between the Old English Bulldog and the Old English Terrier.
Yup.
anyone can say this about any disagreement in existence
i don’t even know what side you’re on that’s how vague this is

For real
It's pretty funny winding up pitbull owners though.
Not my pibble
This poor doggo did nothing wrong.
Look at his smiley face.
I wanna hug him and tell him he is a good boy.
Yet...
I guess /r/banpitbulls is starting on Lemmy. I'm ok w/ that...
I want to make it but i just don't want to be a mod...
Same. Only thing worse than an a angry pit is an angry pit owner
Someone I know just got attacked by their pit Bull, they are justifying it by saying the dog had brain cancer and didn’t know what it was doing. I personally don’t get the mental gymnastics that you have to go through to say that they are perfectly safe dogs that just get a bad rap when you literally just got your arms flayed off by one.
Apparently almost all Pit Bulls are predestined to get Dementia at an early age, which causes them to basically "snap".
It isn't technically the dogs fault, but akin to French Bulldogs I can't help but advocate for a ban on breeding them.
We need to bring r/banpitbulls to Lemmy.
Maybe they have brain cancer
I feel you, I was a reddit mod for a bunch of subs. Its not worth it.
They nuked me for being a flag bearer for Aaron and highly critical of the direction they were going pre API chaos. 6 accounts perm banned even though I only used two to mod w/ and get mouthy. Now IP banned, I wear that as a badge of honor.
But in seriousness we need to ban pit bulls and my dumbass will mod the sub to get people to see they are a bad breed.
You could always start a banpitbulls community here if you have the time. I would join.
There are no bad dogs only bad owners
This is true, but the damage a badly raised pit bull can do is far worse than other breeds.
No, like with people there are indeed straight up bad dogs. It's not just nature versus nurture, it's nature and nurture, and pits have a bad nature.
Okay but can they make their own community so the rest of us don't have to see it, please and thank you.
Oh now you've stepped in it, those pitty owners are relentless.
Kind of like a dog with a child sized bone?
Anyone else old enough to remember when dobermans and rottweilers were the killer breed of the day? I wonder what the next one will be.
That scale is pretty interesting, trying to make 295 seem like it's more than 500.
Blue bars are attacks, red are deaths. I'd say 3000 is more than 500, yes
It would really funny if black folk decided to make it something stupid.
Bunch of rap videos with blinged out Pomeranians. Stock footage of a flock of them running and barking.
🎵 come around, imma get you with my pomeraptors 🎵
3 months later, a slew of news reports from Sinclair owned news stations about small dogs and behavior issues. Some crying church lady with dry wispy blonde hair, talking about how Jesus only loves golden doodles.
Then a flood of memes calling Pomeranians finger guillotines, a stream of repeated news articles about the same few attacks, repeated to false consensus.

Rottweilers still do have a poor reputation though.
Chihuahas
Pit: I want my baby back baby back baby back baby back... Ribs
Would go toddler hunting for that sweet face, 10/10 good boy
Completely unrelated to the post but I've just started using Lemmy and I'm so happy 196 is on here
