Chasing off, not attacking you gimp.

At least one of those videos show the cat swiping the bears nose before it runs off.

Also my dads lab mutt had to get a perimeter shock collar due to her penchant to take off and try to fight bears if she caught scent of one in the bush.

Bully kuttas fight black bears in Afghanistan and are 3 times the size of an extremely large pitbull but you dont wanna Ban them?

Still not sure how you're video makes any kind of point bud.

Pit bulls can be trained and be sweet but their existence seems to do more harm than good because of the amount of damage they are capable of. There are also such cases of dogs snapping despite whatever training they went through because of past traumatic experiences.

I don't think anything can realistically be done to get rid of the breed nor is it a common enough issue to care but I find it odd when people vehemently defend pit bulls as if the breed is some cultural group.

A dog is not going to be offended that people believe society is better off without it's breed. It has no concept of its breed. It is entirely a human made concept.

And if you actually care about the suffering of the dogs you'd probably wouldn't want them being massively bred+trained for fighting/aggression and then being put down in shelters for being unadoptable. Backyard breeding is the main problem but that will never be controlled enough.

Again wtf is this magical attack stat damage boost so many of your are attributing to pits?

Can anyone even try to answer wtf you're talking about with that?

They're medium sized dogs with fairly typical bite force. They don't have super strength.

why are you comparing what this pit bull did to animals chasing off bears to protect their families?

did we miss the horse attacking the sweet pibble or its owner first?

You know they can't. If they really gave a shit they'd try to outlaw all dogs that have the capacity for fucking you up, which is basically all of them. You never hear these people talking about dogs such as Tibetan mastiffs.

Where did I say to protect?

How does the animals motivation change what an animal is capable of?

What is this magic pitbull super power you people keep going on about?

How big do you think pits are? Gimme an average weight. I'm guessing its gonna be stupid high and unrealistic.

Any dog can be animal aggressive but it doesn't mean it will be human aggressive. It can also be trained out of it pretty easily. This horse shit is literally horseshit lol

Legal or not, they're fucking ugly as shit

i didn't say anything about how big or strong pit bulls are, i just said they're bred to fight and have unpredictable aggression triggers that other common family breeds don't, because they weren't bred to kill each other. what do you think the "pit" was?

Wow, one of the more popular owned dog breeds is responsible for a higher number of attacks in the US? Color me shocked!


---

Maybe if you want a Pit Bull you have to get some sort of license?

---

I see a lot of people talking about dog bite/attack statistics, something you have to keep in mind is the popularity of the breed too, pits are popular in the states so more bites and attacks are recorded. In canada Huskies are seen as the "dangerous" breed because they are more common dog. Over the years it has changed in america too, it used to be Doberman and Rottweilers were the evil breeds when I was a kid because they were more common

It's also not just "bad owners" some dog breeds are aggressive, this doesn't mean they are bad, just that they need more training and attention. Pitbulls don't need to be banned anymore than Chow-Chows or Dalmatians (also two aggressive breeds that you don't hear about)

I know the data bud.

Pits barely register in the top ten for bite force and thats only including well known breeds. Toss in lesser known breeds like presa canarios and bully kuttas and they aren't even top ten.

As for size are you seriously arguing they aren't a medium sized dog?

---

It's simple

If your dog is unleashed and it's a pit then you should go to jail for years. It's no different than brandishing a weapon irresponsibly.

I feel like you should be fined heavily for having ANY dog offleash in any public area. Hikers are the absolute worst offenders and they love claiming that their dog is perfectly trained to be off the leash. Like no, bitch. This isn't just about HIS safety.

Ive met a lot of pit bulls that were very friendly dogs but they still are quite muscular and they have really powerful jaws so if they arent friendly they are definitely more dangerous than like a labrador or something

Other pit bulls were specifically bred for work and companionship. These dogs have long been popular family pets, noted for their gentleness, affection and loyalty. And even those pit bulls bred to fight other animals were not prone to aggressiveness toward people.

Straight from your source.

those other pit bulls sound great, where are they

We're taking about the origination here - not other purposes, buddy.

Plus, the ASPCA is woke as fuck when it comes to pitbulls so I'm not surprised they are favorable towards the breed considering how many shelters are absolutely flooded with the breed.

again, what do you guys think the 'pit' was? snuggle pit? kisses pit? i don't get it

---

Tbh, at this point the breed just exists so that people can get one and feel badass/rebellious. Like, you could have just got a corgi instead. But instead your little buttercup might snap one day and decide maul some little girl in pigtails at the park.

I do feel pretty bad ass whenever my pitbull mauls a couple kids in the McDonald's playplace.

And don't get me wrong, I don't like kids either. But kids are a lot less prone to violence than pitbulls. :v So I'm gonna give the kids the benefit of the doubt here.

Apparently people are massively breeding a certain type of dog for fighting but there is no reason or physical advantage to those dogs. They just like how they look I guess. It isn't like they bet money either. /s

If you want an actual answer on what differentiates a pit bull it is that they were bred to not quit until whatever is dead (gameness). Now how is that gameness at all beneficial to regular society?

Again why does anyone care about making sure this breed that was bred for fighting exists? Do you personally just like how they look or are you projecting some kind of victim complex onto them?

I swear it is like some people are pretending these dogs are being genocided. They are dogs. They have no culture. They don't herd together in the wild. All they really care about is their immediately family and food. It wouldn't be cruel to stop breeding this dog. In fact it would be the opposite as so many shelters are filled with them and are forced to euthanize.

There are no bad dogs. Only bad owners

Pit Bulls can be adorable lovely dogs if shown love and correct training

Videos like this should make you furious at the owner, not the dog

And here's the thing, most people are convinced an animal ONLY needs to be shown love in order to be well behaved. 99% of owners skip training because training is expensive as fuck.

The fact you think you have to pay someone to train your dog properly just proves you dont know anything about dogs.

You chose to ignore the fact that they're were originally bred for many purposes so you could focus on the one that backs up your claim

And stero finds me annoying because he's been butthurt for a month since he made an exceptionally stupid topic and I called him out on it. I do my best to ignore the dude and he keeps tagging me and positing dumb shit every time I try to post on topic and he sees it.

You gotta be kidding me buds. Training a dog is about consistency and putting the time in. Its not remotely difficult. Its not fucking string theory.
