The kids who have been maimed and killed look innocent and harmless in their pictures too.

Shameless appeal to emotion? If people are posting images of puppies, it's fair game.

Point out some breeds suffer and die young because of how stupid we made them look, and it's all "Nooooo cute puppers! I want a dachshund some day so not breeding them would be evil genocide!"

Already existing dogs are also exempt (still have to apply but it's just a formality). Basically nobody's current pets would be affected.

The teeth on these shark are much smaller than what people normally think of as shark teeth and curved inward for better leverage. The closer you get to the side of the jaw, the bigger the curve is.

Those are the gums of the shark. They have to protude a little to bite something like is the case with many sharks and they're retractable.

Here's a photo where you can see both the part of the tooth in the video and the actual pointy sharp part.

Oh hell a smiling pitbull. I'm saving the video:)

So that's still an appeal to emotion. Don't get me wrong, an appeal to emotion is not inherently bad. Thing like "please donate to charity" or "please adopt from shelter" is a good use of emotional appeal.

However, in this case posting cute photos becomes rhetorical because the other side also has a very strong appeal to emotion. We have human casualties. The audience (me included) now has to weigh the cuteness of the pibbles (pro-side) against the tragedy of human life (anti-side).

So no, appeal to emotion won't work because both side have it going in circle. I'm inclined to give my vote to anti-side because so far they have statistic on their side and statistic works as logical reasoning regardless of emotion.

Pro-side needs to come up with better argument instead of cuter photos ^^

The video wasn't to appeal to emotion as much as show how they can be passive. It's too bad they are bipolar.

Yeah. Basically look at the tips of your fingers, then imagine cutting off the farthest joint because you dont want to clip your nails again. Thats pretty much what declawing cats is.

Note for the laypeople and fear mongerers, American Bullies are not "Pit Bulls", especially XL bullies.

These are dogs that are often outcrossed with mastiffs. XL bullies are often heavier than my Corso (which is an actual mastiff).

Buuut since they have a certain "look" everybody and their momma want to call them Pit Bulls, they're not.

I support the ban btw, as well as banning any other dog breed selectively bred for aggression/capacity for violence, but this is just a stubborn, intentional misunderstanding of the argument.

While I support banning pit bulls and other adjacent breeds (and pit bulls have been banned here in the UK for a good while now), there are definitely people who are completely obsessive about the topic who are either susceptible to racial dogwhistling or are partaking in racial dogwhistling themselves. They aren't being "racist" against pit bulls, but they are being racist to racial minorities by trying to compare them to pitbulls, or otherwise argue that different human races have inherent behavoural traits like selective dog breeds.

might as well as ban all large dog breeds. Pitbull attacks are overly presented in the media. If a German shepherd attacks a person it doesn't make the headlines.
