I am convinced this is a troll.

Retaliation to haters posted in a wholesome sub.

Pit Bulls being the most hated breed of dog out there (and for good reason).

OP calling everyone a "Dog Racist"

Each year 60% to 80% of dog attacks are caused by a single breed, fuck these animals. A Chihuahua may be more aggressive, but a person can easily fight those things off, a pit will lock onto anything and won't release till they're dead.

Retrievers retrieve, Pointers point & Pit Bulls are made to fight, its in their nature.

Edit: go ahead and down vote OP. Watch as that doesn't change my opinion.

OP must be an American. Can’t convince me otherwise.

breed was responsible for 22.5% of bites across all studies. Mixed breeds were a close second at 21.2% and German Shepherds were the third most dangerous breed, involved in 17.8% of bite incidents.

where the fuck do you get 60-80%???

also, 100% of dog fights use pit bulls…

abused dogs lead to bites….

aka, it’s the owner’s fault.

fuck these animals

Eh the animals did nothing wrong. They didn't ask to be born as the artificially selected abominations we've made them into. Fuck people who continue to breed these animals and don't spay/neuter their pits.

If poodles went around ripping people apart, people would hate them too

I had two roommates who both had pitbulls. Both very loving owners. These dogs were treated right. But they could not coexist.

After one fight too many, one of the owners got mauled by his own dog after trying to break the dogs up. He almost lost his hand.

Ban pitbulls.

In 2009, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia released a five-year review of dog-bite injuries. The review states that 51 percent of attacks were made by pit bulls.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19644273/

In 2009, another study was published by the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology. The study ran for 15 years and it has concluded that pit bulls, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers are among the most common breeds that cause fatal dog attacks in Kentucky State.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19696575/

In 2011, the Annals of Surgery published a study, which concluded that Pitbull attacks lead to more expensive hospital bills, higher risk of death, and higher morbidity rates compared to other breeds of dogs.

What a shitty post.

[–] qwertilliopasd@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I just want to scritch their cute memoryfoam heads.

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't really have a problem with any dog specifically.

But I don't think there is any reason to have something like a pitbull unless you absolutely need it for security.

Largely they should be bred out of existence. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't include other breeds like pugs and maybe even something like a poodle.

Pretty much every dog is great but you don't need a pitbull, get something else. For the love of god don't get a pug or I'll think you're a cunt.

[–] Threeme2189@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You want to breed poodles out existence?

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

No, not really. But I have heard some bad things about how they are feisty. I'm just saying the whole species needs looking at, it's not only fighting dogs. Some dogs breeds need to be bred with other breeds to make one bigger one with more diversity and some need to stop having pups and some need a bit of attention and improving upon.

Statistics by definition is presenting empirical data and that's what most people think of when they hear statistics. Most scientists studying statistics actually spend much more of their time developing and studying methods of data collection rather than crunching numbers. The reason for this is you cannot have meaning statistics if the data set is not accurate. And I love you all and your experiences matter but they bear no scientific weight.

4 out of 5 dentists agree that every time you see a static it's complete and total bullshit. Flawed data collection leads to flawed results which leads to flawed conclusions. But people sure do get excited when numbers validate their biases.
