Touched a nerve with ya, eh? It’s funny you think a Corgi occasionally nipping, which is easily trained out, is somehow equivalent to a mauling by a pitbull.

I get it you’re just upset that you own or love pit bills and can’t just see how much of a menace they are to other dogs and people. Maybe it’s just a coincidence that most of the dogs that snap suddenly on kids are pit mixes.

But I’ve seen first hand the difference between a pitbull attack and those of other dogs, we all know which we would rather be on the end of. We all know which causes more harm and destruction. Bury your head in the sand, that’s fine.

You know damn well we’re talking about aggregate numbers and breed specific traits, like being bred to be aggressive. I’m not acting like a single dog is what I’m talking about and your rebuttal of a single dog vs talking about trends and large numbers across the country is disingenuous.

I think you meant causal but I get your point.

I believe that dog breeds have inherent traits that they are bred for. Yes of course the nature vs nurture argument always comes into play but it’s not a coincidence some dogs love water and will naturally point without any training and others won’t.

Also that’s not even getting into the physical make up of a pit bull. They just are more dangerous by that alone, higher bite force, harder to get them to let go, fat head, big chomps - I think it’s irresponsible and morally reprehensible for them to be bred.

Short of mass euthanasia they are not going away but I wholeheartedly believe they shouldn’t be rehomed or kept in shelters so I suppose inevitably my belief would lead to them being euthanized instead of ever adopted out.

There is no good solution and I get people have pitbulls that don’t attack or harm people but their proclivity for violence is well documented and understood. It’s just that people would rather believe their feels over facts and black and white statistics.

The American pitbull is a breed, though there are others.

The dogs are notorious for their violence and literally were bred to fight. If you think a Labrador retriever is naturally a good retriever because it’s been bred for those traits it’s not exactly hard to see how a dog bred for generations to literally kill for sport might be problematic.

Lol, what is this dumb shit? Obviously you can rank it when pitbulls are consistently the breed with the highest violence and attacks.

That little guy in the background looks like a stuffed animal!

Almost too cute to be a real dog ❤️

Probably a similar reason as to why we don’t hear about the other potential hundreds of competing products or solutions to the same problem (in general).

Luck.

It’s just not fair in our world.

If it isn’t satire that person must be insufferable irl.

Nah the ad solution being utilized by the Boost app thinks that. Not Lemmy.

Could be you’re using a VPN throwing off where it thinks you’re located, you have some specific intersection of browsing history and interests, your search history, some other criteria I probably don’t know because I don’t actually work in that industry.

Anyways, usually there is a reason even if it’s silly.

Ah same appeal as beanie babies when you could do that with them on eBay.
