WilshireMother fatally mauled by pack of dogs in Quitman, Georgia, 3 children taken to hospital
mysticpickleDollars to donuts shitbulls we’re involved.
WookieMonsterI bet irresponsible owners were involved.
An irresponsible owner with a Yorkie can get your socks bitten, an irresponsible owner with a pitbull can kill you.
An irresponsible owner of a golden/newfie/GSD/dobie/St. Bernard/whatever can kill you too, it’s not the dog breed’s fault that idiots are attracted to them.
That’s disingenuous, especially with the livestock guardian, rescue, and hunting dog breeds you listed - precisely because those were the traits selected for when creating those breeds.
Even GSD and Dobermans don’t carry the specific risk that Pitbulls do, because their jobs require different behavioral traits that are very different then dog fighting.
Do you believe that pitbulls are the only working dog breed whose characteristics and behavior is completely independent of the selective breeding process used to create them?
Yes, all dogs carry some risk, especially large dogs, and exponentially when combined with a responsible owner.
Yes, pitbulls can be extremely sweet and affectionate dogs, but that doesn’t change the fact that they were intentionally bred to be the best in class breed for dog fighting
Again, I like pitbulls, a lot, but that doesn’t mean I can pretend that pitbulls are the only working breed whose behavioral traits are completely independent of their breeding.
