They are friendly loveable cuddle buddies




It's true that if they have bad humans they have a higher danger potential than most other breeds but that's not their fault

No such thing as a bad dog only bad owners.

Bad owners love pitbulls for all the wrong reasons.

They're good boys.

Show me more than five instances of a pitbull attacking someone when said pitbull isn't owned by a piece of poo poo or someone who doesn't have the slightest clue of how owner/dog dynamics work (e.g. have never established authority with their animal).

Out of the thousands of people who poo poo on these dogs, I've never seen more than a handful of attacks that weren't easily preventable or where the owner should never in a million years own an animal.

Also whoever compared pitbulls to a firearm has a stillbirth brain.

Pet ownership and animal industry are equivalent to slavery, so I am very much pro pit bulls mauling their masters.

You seem to witness an abnormally large amount of pitbull attacks. Perhaps you’ve been setting a bad example?

Have you never consumed information that occurred outside of your personal view? Like, perhaps on the internet or social media, or the news?

Did you know that pit bulls are a massively hated breed and it's all but difficult to avoid pitbull hate stories in these environments?

Terrible breed. Wife was attacked by one as a child and I’ve known several people who have lost cats/dogs to them attacking unprovoked.

Every pit I’ve been around has been a good dog, but the owners were responsible and caring people.

Is pit bull an actual defined breed? the media seem to use it as generic term for any dog that has bitten somebody, like you will see an news report about a pit bull attack but the photo clearly shows that it's a loving Pomeranian or something.

This happened to my cat too, but it wasn't a pitbull.

I chose to blame the owner.

"Bully" breeds cover a wide brush. American Pit Bull Terrier is an offical breed name but bully breeds extend beyond that descending from the British bull and terriers.

A Pomeranian is not a bully (in breed, they are in personality).

I’ve literally only ever seen the opposite. They’ll call it a ‘lab-mix’ and then the picture has that boxy head front and center.

This is just straight up lying and you should be embarrassed. The media is absolutely obsessed with demonizing pit bulls or at least trolling conversation around them.

i blame the dog because it was the one that grabbed it and shook it to death and a beagle wouldn't do that

I’ve met maybe 5 or 6 pit bulls. They were all nice to me and adorable. One of them later attacked her owner’s girlfriend and had to be put down. So I guess 5 out of 6 pit bulls are all right in my book.

I still have nightmares about seeing my neighbor's great dane swallow a cat basically whole right in front of me. Thing was a sweet dog, but I never looked at it the same way again.

An advanced breed for experienced owners. If treated this way, it is often an adorable and bubbly cuddle buddy that will also deter near 100% of all potential home invasions and robberies simply by existing. If chosen by an oblivious noob as their first build it could very well crush the skull of their child or rip the neighbor's pomeranian to shreds in a territorial dispute. Not a starter dog but OP for seasoned vets. See also: Rottweiler, the Deprived class in Souls.

The statistics don’t lie, Pitbulls are so far ahead of the rest of the pack it would be laughable if it weren’t actual human beings dying.

How bad are Rottweilers? I used to have one. He was a giant coward and was easily bullied by tiny, tiny dogs. Never killed any other dogs or toddlers. We pre-killed all the toddlers we fed Levi.

They're incredibly disproportionately bought by people who use them as guard dogs, fight dogs or status symbols.
