wow real mature, laughing at a dead man just because he got his hand stuck in a can of chili from goldbelly, then stumbled around before slipping down a staircase due to his sweaty feet and landing with his head in a bucket.
I bet you're just yucking it up thinking of poor richard flailing around with a bucket on his head, his hand sopped in chili as he blindly tripped over furniture he paid prostitutes to piss on so his ex wife wouldn't take them, only to expire on a pile of moldy 'city name sports' jerseys

Before they were used as fight dogs pitbulls were called "nanny dogs" because they would be very protective of children in their family.

Yeah, honestly children / animals being mauled is an all dog thing, not just pit bulls. They just happen to be the most capable of killing because of their size. That doesn't mean they're more dangerous then a Gulldong, Ovcharka, or that dog that one pet island lady adopted. I hate when people are like "Oh yeah Pitbulls are murderers" They're not any more murderous then any other dog. Like it'd be the same as getting angry when your adopted Finish Spitz chewed through the dry wall while you were away at work. People forget that dogs are not just toy, and many are very protective, or need constant attention.

This is not true. They were actually bait dogs, and bred to bait bulls, bears, and other large mammals for hunting sport / maiming.

e: To be clear, I'm not saying all dogs, or all pitbulls are monsters or anything like that. They're larger animals, and need to be socialized and trained properly from birth or you'll have behavior issues, and sometimes those behavior issues manifest in increased aggression. Any dog that's big can probably maim or kill you, because it's a big animal. The same is with like, Cheetahs, or if house cats got that big, cats, or hell, even birds if they got that large. There's a reason most people are told not to start with a giant rear end parrot that'll try it's best to bite off your fingers.

If you're calling me out on that I'm calling you out on the idea that Cheetahs are the same as a very large house cat. Or that you can keep one as a pet as long as it has proper training.

If one kind of badly raised dog can kill a child and one can't, one is more dangerous. Especially because expecting people to be good pet owners is lol. I work at an emergency vet, wanna know how many people let their dogs off leash and they end up run over, attacking someone/thing, or getting attacked or as the owner frantically explains "oh no no, he's very well behaved he never does this"

Yes he does moron, I already know he bolts regularly while you impotently go "no, heel, no, come!"

Literally all dogs over a certain weight have enough bute strength to seriously injure a child or others, pitbulls are not unique and blaming the dog for owners being irresponsible is just stupid.

They're not, I just meant like, any animal dangerous or safe, if not properly taken care of, will maul the poo poo out of you. Like if you have a tiger or wolf sanctuary right? And you just beat the absolute gently caress out of those things every day, they're going to kill you first chance they get. If you do not beat the gently caress out of those animals, there's less of a chance of them murdering you.

Like no guarantees, but the more you mistreat something the more likely it will kill you.

What I honestly believe, and this may make me a monster, is that if you want a dog that can seriously hurt or maim someone, you should prove you can be a responsible pet owner before you get one. That means a class and maybe some sort of license. A mistrained dog over say, 40 lbs is dangerous, maybe not as much as a loaded gun, but dangerous enough that you may permanently harm someone if you're not responsible with it.

The issue is, there's a poo poo ton of dogs and your license process would involve either keeping a lot of dogs in cages for weeks at a time (making them more dangerous, because a less able care taker for a dog is still better than a cage) or killing a bunch of dogs. A gun is an object, dogs are living beings.

I mean, we cull and allow people to hunt boar, deer, gators, and other animals that encroach and endanger society. Capybara are hunted in certain countries even though they're cute, adorable, and chill. I'm not sure what makes dogs special that they have a higher right to life than say a possum, deer, bear, or moose? Cats are caught, spayed, neutered and released. Other countries have huge wild dog populations that they handle, sadly, by culling. Pigs are incredibly intelligent, and empathetic even more so than dogs and we not only slaughter them, but keep them in horrific conditions.

A bobcat, lynx, or even wolves cap out at around 50lbs and that's where most pitbulls start.

Would you honestly be comfortable if I kept a domesticated 50lb house cat, Eagle , or some other animal that could kill or permanently maim you?

This isn't pertinent to the discussion whatsoever but capybara are apparently incredibly delicious. I've never had it but friends who grew up in places where it's commonly eaten swear that it's some of the tastiest meat on the planet

I think it's enormously hypocritical to be disgusted by eating dog, but not pig, but there's no way you're selling "dogs aren't special" to the general public.

I mean I'm not the dictator of the universe, (thank god lol,) I just wish people would think about the way we treat animals and imagine dogs in those positions, instead of just thinking of dogs as special exceptions. Especially with Beyond Meat and things like that getting closer and closer to 1:1 imitation, and vegetarian food becoming more and more accessible. Though it probably just seems like I want to execute dogs for the crime of being too cute and precious.

Literally every instance of any given breed of dog attacking a child or anybody else comes down to the owner being a lovely person that taught that dog it was okay to engage in (or actively encouraged) that kind of behavior or they abused the dog until it was too broken to ever act any other way.

And so is any other car that size. Dogs can be dangerous but my point is that pitbulls aren't specifically more dangerous than any other dog of the same size.

People need to be responsible for their animals and shouldn't adopt them in the first place if they can't socialize and train them.
