This is a very interesting statistic. This proves the relevance of race and demographics. Are there any parallels that can be drawn to race and crime among humans? πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

Pit bulls are often raised in bad conditions and are often bred to be attack dogs.

They are bread for the instinct. They are a drag on dog culture. They are predisposed to violence and in the wrong hands very dangerous animals. Much like most of the people who want and abandon them.

I know, not all Pitts.

Most pits are very nice, intelligent animals. The difference between them and other breeds that may behave in exactly the same ways is greater bite strength. They can kill more easily because they can bite much harder. Even if other breeds bit at the same rate, the death rate would still be skewed.

They are need to fight due to instinctive aggression. I am however not saying they are terrible animals. I myself have a giant schnauzer. Also a dog with a instinctive propensity to be a nasty animal. My problem is with the owners of Pitts. I figured certainly the Pitt bull apologist society could see that. But no, turns out they are mostly like the BBC apologist society. "But he loves me"

The aggression is a result of selective breeding by the breeders in the beginning. They would breed the two most aggressive dogs they had to try to get more aggressive pups. You can do that with most animals. But breeding has been widespread and uncontrolled for years now, making the breed overall like any other dog. Aggressive strains should be weeded out wherever they're found, both for safety and to improve the breed.

All these morons in the thread claiming that "not all pits"...

Right, and also, herding dogs I guess just herd other people and animals because of parenting right? Nothing to do with genetics? Or predispositions? Nature?

Get real.

Not just the instincts but the massive power of their jaws. Chihuahuas are way more aggressive than pitts but they ain't killing anybody.

My terrier Dolly is as sweet a dog that you will ever meet and charms everyone. She picked up on how I needed her to act to stay safe around moving vehicles in the boatyard without me even realizing I was training her.

The trendy attack dog breed of the day is responsible for bites. Before Pits it was Rotties with every moron raising one and then saying "Derp not my fault it bit, just instincts and stuff Derp".

Before rotties, it was Doberman Pinchers that needed to be banned because they were responsible for all the bites.

Before them, German Shepherds needed to be banned, because, they were responsible for all the bites.

Before them, bloodhounds needed to be banned, because they were just genetically bred to bite people.

Pitbull type dogs were bred for generations to select specific traits that make them dangerous dog breeds: attack with no warning signs, massive neck and jaws with concomitant strength, bite and hold. The traits that made for a gentle/friendly type of family dog were not selected for by breeders for centuries. Combine this with raising a pitbull in an abusive or neglectful environment and you have dogs that are a disaster waiting to happen.

Pit bulls are the most loyal and loving creature you can have on this planet. It's the degenerate people who make them who they are. I hate anyone who abuses or takes advantage of any innocent life. Child or animal. If we were more strict on animal abuse and animal well being pitbulls wouldn't have the reputation they do. Slap on the wrist for animal abuse is pathetic. Just my 2 Β’

until they old and f*cky in the head and start misreading their surroundings and jump through the screen door to chase a little candy seller kid down the street.

There are plenty of cases of pits raised in loving homes, that β€˜wouldn’t hurt a fly’, etc, snapping at a trigger one day and killing a kid. The shit happens and it makes total sense as they are bred to be aggressive, lethal, and quick to attack. To deny this as matter of absolute fact is nothing short of mental illness, which most pit advocates have.

Educate yourselves, we are literally talking about the lives of innocent children.

Any breed of dog can snap. That's not exclusive to pitbulls. In fact, many other breeds more likely so than pitbulls. The difference is the strength of the dog, not the mind of the pitbull breed itself. With approximately 4.5 million pitbulls living in America with ~345 people being killed by them over a 15 year period, it's not as common to be attacked as the fear mongering media would have you believe. Although, If you wanna live in fear of the big bad scary dog go right ahead. It's a free country and you're free to have your feelings.

Yep, 100% agree. They let Mike Vick back in the NFL after his nonsense dog abuse. But muh culture, forget that noise. Be civilized.

That was my first NFL boycott.

I paid $600 for a shih-tzu because they are supposed to be smart. Whaddaya know, he's an extremely smart dog. There are also dogs for hunting, herding, rescuing people, etc. Don't get a dog that was created to be a killer and call him a perfect little angel.

That's not to say they should be illegal. I just believe that if you should be able to walk around with a pitbull, I should be able to walk around with a pistol in my pocket.

If people were to know this, they would be able to figure something else out too. I've long thought that is why SJW's are so quick to defend them.

Chihuahuas bite more dogs than any other breed though.

It's a good analogy because it's about the context in each case. Black crime has nothing to do with their genes it's just kids are more poorly raised in their communities.

leahcim 1 point ago +6 / -5

Why are you so convinced that there isn't a genetic component? Are there physical differences between races that are defined and pronounced beyond skin color? If so, which of course there is, why would those difference not also involve pyschological things as well?

Remember the PDF that the National Museum for African American history released a couple weeks ago and they got shit on about? Well just because they got shit on about it doesn't mean its not what they believe, and hell maybe they were right.

Look up white and Hispanic Ghetto areas. Same exact things.

leahcim -1 points ago +3 / -4

You might be right, and for our long term sake I hope you are, but I don't know if they're the exact same things. White culture has turned to shit too, but its a different kind of shit. White people have been ravaged by meth and fent and obviously there are crime and criminals in all sects. But that's not even in reference to this point here. We can look world wide and see similar numbers in every country.

Well take this into consideration

-Colonial powers left Africa

-Africa is essentially left to basically fend for itself, however both powers, (Soviets, and USA) interfere as much as possible.

-this fucked their nation building, leaving Ethiopia and Somalia, along with Congo fucked perpetually do to Cold War power plays.

-Aloha Snackbar time happens, leaves norh Africa devastated.

I've worked with a lot. Pitties get the worst rap, they are not deserving of it. They were used as nanny dogs for years. Abuse by owners brings aggression.

That's not fair to the breed. Dogs behavior is a direct result of the owners actions.

Posting happy thoughts on internet does not bring back the kids eaten or mauled by pit bulls. It's almost like leaving a gun out in the open. You better know where it is and have it properly supervised and secured... or don't be surprised when you lose everything over it.

Are pit bulls the racist dog whistle I always hear about? The hate is strange, especially because I see it here and I also see it from liberals in my everyday life. I have to protect my super gullible lovable dog on the hiking trail from some asshole threatening to hit her with a hiking stick. Who then says I must be a Trump supporter because I told him the dog won’t hurt him but I’m going to shove his stick up his ass.

I don’t understand the pit bull hate I see here occasionally. You can go fuck off, I think you are trash.
