Anyone else old enough to remember when dobermans and rottweilers were the killer breed of the day? I wonder what the next one will be.
Some people just love to hate things. These types almost always haven’t met many of the creatures/people they hate. They hear about them second-hand, and/or have a few bad experiences, and nothing will ever change their minds after that.
In nine out of ten cases, it’s just textbook indoctrination. These types tend to be allergic to critical thinking.
Pit Bulls account for over 70% of fatal dog attacks, while only being 6% of dogs. They deserve their reputation.
god can we not bring pitbull discourse here
You mean the literal dog whistle for racists? Because a large portion of pit owners are POC so they get to spew their hate without saying it out loud. Ever wonder why they get all bloodthirsty about killing those dogs? There ya go.
I was mauled by a German Shepard with shitty owners when I was a kid. They’re literally trained for military and police work, yet where are the GSD hate groups? It’s almost like the people who hate pits, are the same who bootlick LEO and have thin blue line stickers. It’s almost like breeds don’t matter, it’s the training by the owners.
Even despite that experience, I don’t hate GSD, I hate shit owners. Shit owners make shit dogs. It’s either that or Patrick Stewart is secretly pulling the veil over all of us.
But it’s not really the dog they hate… so yeah let’s not have them here.
Pitbulls account for 70% of fatal dog attacks, while only being 6% of dogs. It’s not a dog whistle, pitbulls are a violent and dangerous breed, and everyone I know with a pitbull is white as fuck.
It’s the same deal as them hating welfare, weed, crack, the homeless, the poor, and people with “low IQ” (That one’s mainly Jordan Peterson).
It’s a tried and true strategy to push minorities into poverty and bad/desperate communities, then turn around and use that as justification to discriminate against them, “but not for their skin color, it’s because of xyz”.
You know, I’ve never thought of it from that angle before… You appear to be correct based on my preliminary fact checking:
I haven’t read this entire study, to be fair. But it does go into detail on this topic.
I love all dogs but I can still appreciate a good pitbull eating kids joke. He just looks so happy.
