MrKrausPower Tripping mod is banning people from participating in 196 for criticizing Pitbulls
ForesterHow is being open and honest about the fact that pitbulls are violent shitting on dogs? Lemmy must be delulu. I mean we have imperial evidence that says that genetics does determine that dog breeds effect behavior but you and @[email protected] deny that.
You heard it here from Mr Krout, genetics determine behavior. So do you think the same applies to humans or does this only effect k9s?
You can’t compare humans, humans have big intelectual brains and animals live off instinct alone, they are not conscious. Genetics affect behavior of animals because they act on instinct alone. They are not intelligent like humans. They are mindless like robots following their instincts to survive.
You clearly have no idea how dogs work. I would strongly advise that you take a course on mammalian biology. Most dogs are as intelligent as a human 4 to 7-year-old child depending on breed.
Just because you don’t believe it or like it doesn’t mean its true. Humans are the only sapient life forms on Earth. Only ones. I’ve studied and taught biology and can confidently say I know more than you.
You’re just like @[email protected] who wishes dragons were real and thinks he is one. Just because you want it to be true doesn’t mean it is!
Just because you don’t believe it or like it doesn’t mean its true
Funny you say that yet provide no evidence to back your claims. Yet I can easily find peer reviewed cited evidence to refute your claims. IIRC Uni is free in Aus so don’t be a Bogan you cunt.
Understanding the Concept of Human Superiority An Exploration of the Theory of Mind in Non-Human Species
The theory of mind is the ability for an organism to understand the mental state of other beings, and attribute and predict their behaviors based on this understanding. While humans demonstrate the innate mental content of a theory of mind, understanding whether or not other organisms have a theory of mind is more difficult, especially because it is viewed from a human-centric lens, leading people to wonder about other animals. This therefore begs the question: do non-human animals have the innate mental content of the theory of mind? This question can be explored through the perspective of high-intelligence non-human animals—primates, corvids, and canines—by comparing them to humans, in order to determine if there is a phylogenetic closeness to humans and the capacity to have a theory of mind in other animals. Considering this purpose, by comparing the cognitive ability of non-human and human animals in regard to a theory of mind, the possibility for a shared capacity to understand another animal’s mind is better understood.

Pit bulls are involved in more dog attacks than any other breed. In fact, the American Animal Hospital Association reports this breed was responsible for 22.5% of bites across all studies. Mixed breeds were a close second at 21.2% and German Shepherds were the third most dangerous breed, involved in 17.8% of bite incidents
Genetics don’t impact aggression you say?
Among English Springer Spaniels, conformation-bred dogs were more aggressive to humans and dogs than field-bred dogs (stranger aggression: Mann–Whitney U test, z = 3.880, P < 0.0001; owner aggression: z = 2.110, P < 0.05; dog- directed aggression: z = 1.93, P = 0.054), suggesting a genetic influence on the behavior.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is certainly present in this thread, you’re 3 for 3 on incorrect claims.
Dog Attack Statistics By Breed 2025
Dog attacks can be frightening and can cause devastating injuries. Whether you’re considering a dog bite lawsuit or want to understand the facts behind dog breed restrictions in home insurance and rentals, we shed light on which animals may present the greatest danger. We also uncover who may be at
Its ok to admit you are not a subject matter expert.
This is a direct in context quote from the article you linked: www.sciencedirect.com/…/S0168159108001147 ( thats the source text for teh article you linked …purdue.edu/…/breed-differences-in-canine-aggress…)
Dog bite statistics are potentially misleading for several reasons: (a) most dog bites go unreported unless medical attention is sought (which may be more likely with larger breeds that have the ability to inflict more serious injury); (b) the total number of dogs of a given breed in the local community is seldom known, so the degree to which that breed is over-represented among reported dog bites is usually undetermined (Lockwood, 1995; however see Gershman et al., 1994, Guy et al., 2001b, Reisner et al., 2005); and © in many cases the breed of dog involved cannot be verified (Wright, 1991).
Breed-specific data on aggression derived from behavior clinic/consultant caseloads are also likely to be unrepresentative. Because of the greater risk of injury posed by larger, more powerful dogs, owners of these dogs are more likely to seek professional help in dealing with canine aggression. In addition, dog owners dealing with aggression directed toward themselves or members of their family are more likely to seek professional help compared to pet owners whose dogs are aggressive toward unfamiliar people or animals (Bamberger and Houpt, 2006).
I’d suggest some further reading.
You are not a dog, you are a human. Don’t tell me you actually believe you’re an animal as much as @[email protected] believes he is a dragon 🤦
Also yes genetics do effect behavior of dogs @[email protected] shared some academic peer reviewed papers proving you wrong.
