re: Why are low income trashy people attracted to pitbulls?

Crazy that I just ran across a story about a lady "rescuing" a pit in Metairie because "it is a sweet boy just trying to get cool air & water"

Later that day, she updated her story about having to bring it to the spca because it killed her cat

So how many you have?

I lived in the hood for a few years and I learned that having a big dog is an excellent deterrent for nonsense.

And it doesn't even have to be mean. When I lived in the Ellick garden district, the locals were terrified of my Vizsla. There could not have been a more harmless animal in that area than him

Pitbulls and Pitbull mixes are one of if not the most common in shelters.


Thats one reason why.


The social aspect of that comes from you living in a rough area so you want a rough and tough dog.

quote:

---

Some research in sociology suggests that for marginalized groups, owning a “tough” dog becomes a form of status symbol or identity marker—similar to fashion or cars.

quote:

---

Pit bulls have a reputation for toughness, loyalty, and being protective. For people in difficult environments, owning a dog that signals strength or protection can feel practical and empowering.

...and prison. Don't leave off the prison part.

Because there aren't that many golden doodles at the pound in the hood.

They all say a different flavor of the same thing also. "My pit would never attack someone", or "it's the way they're raised" or some similar crap until they chew a kids face off unexpectedly.

I'd venture to guess that percentage wise very few pit bulls attack or kill, but when they do, their bite strength and tenacity causes more damage than the beloved chihuahuas they like to compare them to. I'd be fine eradicating both species. Humanely of course.

Why do you fricks always go after one group and scream until you get your way.

You sure YOU want to be calling people out?

You are a shite poster and seem like a miserable prick.

That’s da husband dood, yo sista is da wife.
