re: Lovable Pitbull story for the day (01/25/18)

Um no. That is the very point. I AM comparing pit bulls to tigers.

Tigers do not make good pets for most people, because although their dangerousness can be mitigated with proper training and good handling, the danger is always present.

It’s just an unacceptable risk for the owners, and more for their family members, and mostly for the public in general.

All of that is the same for tigers AND pit bulls.

What I don't get is why nobody's talking about the alarming rate of pit on pit crime.

You like calling other people idiots. You should stop being so emotional.

It is a reasonable discussion for a society to engage in as to which animals make suitable pets and which pose special dangers that should be considered.

To cut to the chase, there are at least two aspects to discuss when considering the dangerousness of dog breeds:

1) frequency, or likelihood, of a breed to attack

2) seriousness of the typical attack

You can argue that pit bulls don’t attack with any more frequency than other other breeds, and that may or may not be true.

But it is also true that pit bulls are more aggressive when they attack, and because of their breeding, often seriously maim or kill people when they do attack.

I agree that there is too much reliance on anecdotes, to bolster both narratives of viciousness and friendliness of pit bulls. I would support scientific research to be conducted that is non-partisan on the issue.

Having said that, as for myself, I will err on the side of caution, and I will continue to avoid pit bulls as much as possible.

So when a pit doesn’t kill someone it makes the news.

Imagine what that dog would’ve done to another poor kid that invaded the space of the little girl.

false narrative that fake news is trying to push that all pits are bad.

There is no false narrative. The narrative is backed by pure statistics.

Which dog is responsible for the most deaths each year?

Which dog is responsible for the most severe injuries from dog attacks?

It's based purely on facts and statistics.

Your dog is trash. And you are trash.

I'll take that as a compliment coming from someone like you.

Thanks

Not hurt a fly......but people, ah haaaaaaa!

That first picture should qualify as child abuse.

Dangerous trash animals.

Y'all should quit getting so offended that pitbulls aren't the dangerous dogs y'all would like them to be just to fit y'alls shite narrative.

Did you even read my very first sentence?
