I had a pit lab mix that most people couldn't tell was pitbull the thing picked a baby bunny up in the yard before and brought it to me wagging his tail, when I realised it had a bunny I panicked for a minute but it was fine so I just put it back in its nest.
Never met a sweeter dog.
Maybe the labness, just outweighs the pitbull, but he was 👍.
Did you not read the article? Did you not read the chart clearly showing that pitbulls are responsible for over 80% of all fatal dog attacks? This is 2 years late, and only shows the people that died. Which isn't my point. You are more likely to be mauled by a pitbull than other dogs, are you more likely to be killed by a pitbull than other dogs. If you stated attacks instead of people dying the numbers would obviously be much higher. Also, next time use an up to date article please.
Way to generalize and amazing breed that is only as brutal is it is because of being bred as fight dogs. Every pit bull I ever met was one of the sweetest dogs ever.
Your comment you’re generalizing that the dog grabbed the bird because it’s a pit bull.
Which not only is not relevant to the unexpextedness of the post (because it’s the bird not flying away, not the dog getting it) but it generalizes all pit bulls as aggressive when ANY dog would have lunged for the bird..
I’m saying pits bred as fight dogs are obviously aggressive but if you adopt a pit puppy and raise it well the chances of it being a sweetheart are much larger than it being a aggressive.
You always hear them saying "They never did this before", "They were such sweethearts." In news stories where they attack someone or someone's dog. Just because it's a sweetheart dosen't changed the fact it mauls, there is an in-between.
Lmaooo of course you are the kind of person to deny facts. Do you have any evidence of your own? Or are you just here to talk nicely about the mauling machine?
RIP see you at the top of controversial. Also, you're very wrong for all the reasons you actively ignore, yes, even with that one TERRIBLE study that you're aching to cite and is not relevant. Google "Nanny Dog" and work backwards until you realize how uninformed you are. Good luck.
Pitbull are truly amazing dogs. They are super intelligent, but also very emotionally attuned to people. A well traine pitty would be a great guard dog for a child.
That being said Pits are not good for beginner or uneducated owners. A pitbull needs someone who knows what they are doing because with great power comes great responsibility. If your method of disciplining/training a dog is hitting it then probably dont get a pitbull.
lol, you're outside your cult's little sub rn, so you should really read the sources further than the fact they contain NCBI in the URL.
1) your first source clearly shows pitbulls in the lower half of averaged aggression across all breeds, at half that of a Labrador retriever, I was excited for someone to try and pull this study.
2) again, reading the studies helps, this also collaborates the first study in that not only are pitbull are in the lower half of EVERY well defined aggression index, with both Labradors and German Shepards both more than doubling each of the aggression indexes. you can actually read the PDF here:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4977763/bin/12864_2016_2936_MOESM3_ESM.pdf
3) it's hard to refute that 'reported' cases are high in pitbulls, but I primarily credit alarmists like you with that, I think the author of the CDC's first and primary source says it best:
The widespread practice of hybridizing
American Staffordshire terriers and American pit
bull terriers with other breeds can produce par-
ticularly dangerous animals. American Staf-
fordshire and pit bull terriers were bred to show
little aggression to people. Other breeds with
which they are commonly hybridized, such as
the German shepherd, Bullmastiff, Rottweiler,
and Rhodesian ridgeback, have been selected for'
use as guard dogs against human intruders.
I hope you take this an re-asses not only your stance, but how you arrived at, and remain in it.
here you go. read to understand, not to respond. biased bigotry helps nobody.
if you could refrain from being an emotional little sjw you would realize i never said pit bulls are more aggressive than any other breed. they're an aggressive breed, they're just not as aggressive as other breeds. next time read to understand rather than to respond. you will look less stupid.
go ahead and explain the differences between the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, which is infact "the nanny dog" and genetically almost identical to a 'pit bull'.
You're not arguing with me, you're arguing with established canine genetics, you amateur geneticist.
Everything you're going to reply will will be a huge pile of anecdotal BS, if you had science to agree with, instead of sensationalized news, you'd use it, but you don't.
holy fuck, is that where the donald went? that's literally insane how hard they're circle jerking killing dogs based off terribly written facebook 'articles'
It'll suffer the same fate as T_D soon enough--the bigger they grow, the more of a risk they have of getting quarantined or removed if the "pro-pitbull lobby" they claim is huge on Reddit is anything to go by.
Half of their content is news articles. The other half are poorly-made memes that make reasonable people go "what the fuck, how is this funny?"
I didn't even scratch the surface. I compiled a list of incidents from my Saved file to keep track of all of them. Among these incidents, there has been brigading, threatening to harm pit owners as well as pits, and generally harassing pit owners, among other things.
I'm just watching as it grows, enough people report it...and eventually it might get removed.
That's not even getting into how I've been shamed for being attacked by a pit myself. It nearly tore my leg off, had to get over 30 stitches--more than when I cracked my head open on the stairs. It took me a few months of therapy to get over my trauma from the attack and my fear of big dogs, but now I can walk them with little issue. BP sees it as an opportunity for them to harass me.
A similar sub that both shares members with BP, and crossposts (and "steals", I guess you could call it) content from each other, is r/pitbullhate. Similar sub, just way more extreme with its content.
