Pit bulls need to be banned. Period.

That's coming from a dog lover, a dog foster, and a dog rescuer.

And unless it's an actual trained service animal, leave your dogs at home.

I think you need to do a bit more research. Pits are the most loving and best dog on earth. I will never understand people like you who give them a bad name. Any dog can be trained to be destructive. So if you think pits need to be banned just man up and admit all dogs should be banned. Sorry but not sorry. Your type of thinking is upsetting. Though maybe if you do a bit more research, and maybe own one for youself, you will see the actual facts.

I don't care.

Trust me, I know you don't. Your bit is to simply be loud and obnoxious, nothing more. Classic. Don't let me ruin your fun.

You don't care either. Your bit is to simply be edgy, contrarian, and obtuse to keep the responses and quotes flowing so you can get that next little bump of dopamine the little red notifcations give you. Classic. Don't let me ruin your fun.

Yawn... tell me something I dont know. Don't worry though, you won't ruin my fun. My dopamine is at an all time high. Don't you worry bout little ol me.

https://www.warriorsforjustice.com/dog-biting-statistics-by-breed/

Nr. 1 - Pitbull of course with 3,397 attacks and 295 deaths.

Nr 2 is Rottweiler which we also aren't surprised to see with 535 attacks and 8 deaths.

The rest of the list just further cements the observation that Pits(fucking L for the name too) attack and kill up to 3-6 times more than other dog breeds. It's just a characteristic of this sorry amalgamation different breeds.A staggering 65% of deaths from dog bite attacks come from pit bulls.

These dogs are one of the breeds that are a trespass on God and an abomination of breeding. The breeders who breed these types of Dogs and play God half assed like this deserve to be shot with an Elephant hunting rifle.

Most of the modern day full blooded pit bulls aggression comes from inbreeding. They weren't like that 100 years ago. We genetically engineered them to become killing machines by selective breeding. Just like we've highlighted other breeds characteristics over the years by doing the same shit. I.E. playing God.

I'm strongly opposed to most any pure blooded dogs - whether it be a pit bull or a poodle. Because most "breeders" aren't exactly known for being geneticists. The Queens corgis are probably one of the only exceptions.. they seem like they know what they're doing with those.

Don't ban pit bulls - ban pit bull breeding. Dilute some of the machismo shit we've tried to concentrate in them over the years.

You're not exactly in disagreement with me here. Logically if you dilute the mixing of the blood(genes) in the Pit you'll just bull terrier's, bulldog's or any other breed that is less of a genetic abomination that pits are.

No, sorry, I wasn't trying to disagree with you. Just piggy backing on what you were saying.

(I do love pit bull mixes though).

Idk I understand both honestly. For one I think the people angry at the guy with a pitbull were more upset at the kind of dog it was, which is really sad. If the dog wasn’t being aggressive I don’t understand why people would be so upset at him being there.

But on the other hand the guy should be more mindful of where he’s at, and it seems like towards the end when he was asked to go outside he was just having a power trip. Which is messed up too. He doesn’t have to be vindictive.

I agree, probably nobody would have had an issue if it were a golden retriever or if he were wearing a vest and was well trained and under control.

This dog was jumping up on people and things.

That was the issue for me, personally. That, and the fact that when confronted with the fact that this was a highly inappropriate setting for his 110lb dog, he chose to respond aggressively rather than respectfully.

I watched him pretend like he was going to unclip the dog’s leash several times during his argument with the upset mom

Didn't you say he was in the play place at the mall? Did he even have a kid with him?

If not, that's a red flag on top of a red flag. Like, sir - there are about 70 benches throughout this MF'er.. why did you "decide" to "sit" here? On these specific benches? With your hell hound?

What do you think the chances are he was packing a loaded weapon too? Let's hope it was just the dog and not anything else on top of that.

Yes!

We all have that friend or relative that has that dog that’s borderline aggressive and they’re all like “he’s nice, he doesn’t bite” as the dog is quite literally biting and scratching you 😅

They swear he’s just excited to see you 😬

Exactly. But honestly I see people who get big dogs for 'protection' and don't train them as irresponsible as people who buy guns for 'protection' and don't lock them up. It can end up the same way, with people hurt or dead because of your negligence.

I don't blame people for their poor perceptions against certain breeds either, especially if they have personal history. Fear is not something you can rationalize against. If you get attacked by a certain breed your gonna feel a type of way about those dogs for likely the rest of your life, even tho logically its unlikely to happen again.

I used to bring my jack Russell with me to college on studio days and she would nap under my desk. Nobody stopped me and I was in no way needing a service animal, nor was she one. Nobody ever said shit to me tho. Again she was a delight. One of my professors told me at the end of term he was bit in the face by a terrier as a kid. I would've never guessed because this was the same man who would bring dog treats for her. I was like, why didn't you tell me not to bring her with. I wouldn't have minded. He laughed a bit awkwardly and said he hadn't even noticed until about a month in because she was so well behaved. I found the whole thing incredibly sweet tbh.

I doubt that was a Pit Bull, or a service dog. Too long don't read.

American Pit Bull Terriers weight between 30-75lbs per breed standard calling for them to be lean, slender, and athletic. We can thank the idiots who edited the wikipedia article years back to say that Pit Bull is an umbrella term. It's not, it's the abbreviation of American Pit Bull Terrier, the only breed with Pit Bull in it's name.

Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, and American Bullies aren't Pits. To the common uneducated people of the world they are... From a historical standpoint there's no reason to call them all what they aren't. The dog you saw was most likely an American Bully, a breed created in the 90's not acknowledged by a major kennel club until 2013 whereas the APBT has been around since the late 1800's first one registered in 1896.

Bullies have fat heads, short muzzles, come in different sizes, usually always grey "blue", usually always what's pictured when a dog bites someone. For fucksake certain bloodlines used different breeds. Gotti and Remy lines you see a lot of English Bulldog influence. Kennels like Big Gemini Kennels and Dark Dynasty Kennels use Mastiffs. "Hulk" the world's biggest Pit Bull actually is a mastiff mutt. His pedigree traces back to known bandogs, one in particular is Eddingtons wanna be a whopper. Far from being pits. Just fad bred dogs that are in the companion group of the UKC not the terrier group like the APBT, SBT, and the AST.

That was just someone's pet they probably had for emotional support, but swore up and down that it's a service dog because you can't really always as per the ADA laws....

Yep, there's your dog breed lesson from someone who spent years raging over misinformation.

He wasn’t squatty like American bullies typically are…he was more proportionately large…big ass head…but also tall. When he jumped up he was easily 4’ tall. He was jumping up on his handler, who was a shorter dude (maybe 5’6 at most) and the dog was basically face to face with him

Anyway, I’m not a vet, I can’t be sure which breed he was so I used the blanket term…but I get what you’re saying that’s it’s not technically correct.

My point was more that this was a huge powerful dog. I knew damn well pit bull was a trigger word so I don’t know why I used it 😅 I almost went back and edited it

Yikes. Emotional support animal isn’t the same as service animal seriously & 110 pounds! Not sure why we have to mention Pitt bull though. Any 110 pound dog jumping up on kids not a good idea.

I have a pitt bull mix, and she’s the sweetest dog there is. Actually a bit scared of everything. She’s clingy lol but I don’t bring her places. Was at a concert Monday night & this lady had a dog who was a service animal with vest .. no outward reason I could see. Weird at a concert where everyone is packed in. I think if it’s for anxiety it’s bullshit. The dog was very mellow though.

Yeah breed aside, the size of the dog is something people need to acknowledge. If my terrier jumps up on me its not a big deal. The same playful behavior from my coon hound can knock me to my ass. Larger dog = more training and control so that they don't hurt someone, even unintentionally.

As for the lady with the service dog, she could have something not readily outwardly apparent like ptsd or seizures. But I'd suspect that she may also be a trainer and exposing the dog to loud chaotic environment as part of the training.

How I understand it, dogs used for anxiety fall into the therapy or emotional service dogs. They wouldn't have the Service dog vest. But then again you can just order a vest from like Etsy that says service dog and scam people.

I really feel that people who have service animals should provide the documentation if asked. I get not needing to disclose the REASON for the service animal aka your personal medical info. But prove the dog is an actual service animal, absolutely. You need a handicap placard to park in the handicap spot. So how is this any different? It really isn't.

Also never seen it happen where a service dog handler refuses to show documentation.

If someone does refuse and doesn't have the vest or collar on the dog, like the dude in op's example, its a dead giveaway that the dog is not a service animal imo.

My daughter’s friend had a small pit up and I do lot really know the difference except they are look like pit bulls but the sizes are different.

I am pretty sure pit bulls aren’t batting 110lb but whatever…



So the dog is growing with my daughter is always with her friend and one day dog bits my daughter’s band in blood and we didn’t make big deal out of it. Bills were paid and hand was ok. HOWEVER!!! Month after - dog bites his owner face while sleeping with her as always…the stitches were a lot and we can’t believe her face is OK now. It was scary!



After he bit my daughter police said one more time and dog is gone. And it happened so dog was put to sleep. It was quiet household. Nothing provokes both bitings.



Now argue all you want but I am positive that studies that says pit bulls have something about them that gets triggered and they losing their wits!

Dobermans are dangerous when not trained. They have nerves positioned so it makes them amazingly sensitive working dogs and their physique makes them great protectors but their area between eyes is an area where most nerves ends are and they can be scary!

However accidents per breed screaming ‘Ban PITBULLS’ and the law must be protecting…not neglecting.

There is a side of me that wanted to breed pitbulls just to spite everyone against them. Like for every person who wants to "ban" them a sick side of me wanted to bring 6+ into existence. It's easy to tell I'm a huge fan of the pit breed. At the same time in reality, there are thousands if not millions in shelters because people are shit, and breed them with no intention of love or care. Statistically pitbulls are the most agressive. I can't argue that. But I feel people should spend more money and time helping the current pitbulls in cages facing death rather then breeding them just to let them go into the streets thus becoming a problem. Or trying to "ban" them and pretending like there aren't thousands of living animals of the breed currently alive that can 100% be helped. So imo both extream sides of the pit debate are wrong. People who want to ban them are wrong, and people who want to breed them are wrong.
