I am convinced this is a troll.

Retaliation to haters posted in a wholesome sub.

Pit Bulls being the most hated breed of dog out there (and for good reason).

OP calling everyone a "Dog Racist"

Each year 60% to 80% of dog attacks are caused by a single breed, fuck these animals. A Chihuahua may be more aggressive, but a person can easily fight those things off, a pit will lock onto anything and won't release till they're dead.

Retrievers retrieve, Pointers point & Pit Bulls are made to fight, its in their nature.

Edit: go ahead and down vote OP. Watch as that doesn't change my opinion.

Just a head's up but not a single police department in the nation DNA tests or even has a spot on their reports to label which specific breed of dog caused the attack, there is also roughly a dozen different breeds on the list of dogs commonly mistaken for pits.

Anybody telling you pits are responsible for any percentage of dog attacks is lying by giving a number not scientifically achieved.

Do you have any evidence to support this statement? It would need to be pretty substantial to offset the large proportion of Pit Bull breeds.

I dont say this to be dismissive, I would actually be pretty interested in reading what you have.

In 2009, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia released a five-year review of dog-bite injuries. The review states that 51 percent of attacks were made by pit bulls.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19644273/

In 2009, another study was published by the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology. The study ran for 15 years and it has concluded that pit bulls, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers are among the most common breeds that cause fatal dog attacks in Kentucky State.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19696575/

In 2011, the Annals of Surgery published a study, which concluded that Pitbull attacks lead to more expensive hospital bills, higher risk of death, and higher morbidity rates compared to other breeds of dogs.

If poodles went around ripping people apart, people would hate them too

Retaliation isn't very wholesome.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Especially when some power fantasy tripping mod already removed the comments in question, so there isnt even anything to retaliate in response to.

If it needs a CW(Content Warning) tag then it shouldnt be in a "wholesome" community. And yes obviously it needs that because countless people are traumatised by these kinds of dogs.

I had two roommates who both had pitbulls. Both very loving owners. These dogs were treated right. But they could not coexist.

After one fight too many, one of the owners got mauled by his own dog after trying to break the dogs up. He almost lost his hand.

Ban pitbulls.

[–] Bobmighty 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Those aren't actually OPs dogs. This is a bait.

I don't really have a problem with any dog specifically.

But I don't think there is any reason to have something like a pitbull unless you absolutely need it for security.

Largely they should be bred out of existence. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't include other breeds like pugs and maybe even something like a poodle.

Pretty much every dog is great but you don't need a pitbull, get something else. For the love of god don't get a pug or I'll think you're a cunt.

I like pitbulls and don't know if this is bait (perhaps you didn't realize the obvious response you'd get?) but this post should be removed either way.

Worst comment section I've ever seen in this community

[–] skeezix 5 points 7 months ago

There's two types of people: those who hate pitbulls, and those who's pitbull hasn't mauled someone yet.
