Its so odd how people defend the continued existence of these creatures.
What kind of twisted brain do you need to have, to defend something that regularly attacks and injures, sometimes even kills completely innocent people.

You also just described a human.
A violent criminal human if anything. Would you defend murderers and people that assault others?
For humans we have prisons because they have human rights and we cant morally control their existence.
With dogs we can absolutely control their existence and there is no real moral dilemma there whatsoever. We can just stop making more of them. DONE.
I can’t really disagree there. My concern is about the dogs that exist now and didn’t harm anyone. Dogs are also dependent on how their human trains them - the fault is many times in the master just not managing their dogs properly.
Don’t put all the dogs in one basket just based on breed if you are not ready to do it with humans.
There are over 2 million animal species on Earth, and one species is responsible for 99.9% of all lethal attacks. Ban Humans (from existing)!
Do you know what a snake is?
See this is what i mean. Brainrot has continued to the extent where people cant logically differentiate between an animal that is taken outside, often unleashed or not sufficiently controlled and a snake that is either wild(completely unrelated to the topic) or kept inside(cant randomly kill people)
Most snake breeds can’t and won’t attack humans either though.
How many humans to pet snakes kill in a year?

Those aren’t actually OPs dogs. This is a bait.
Your right. One of them is my friends. I never claimed both were mine.
So glad the UK outlawed these bully xl things. Not a day goes by it doesn’t maul one child or another
Fuckin dog racist.

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.

“If”. Pfft
Might wanna check the comments again.
There are no comments… So, somebody’s getting trigger-happy with their mod powers. Ah, Reddit. Never change. 🤦🏽♂️
Yes there is. undercrust@lemmy.ca is in here and says that a poodle has attacked him.
I’m seeing no comments at all for this post. Undercrust or no, the anecdotal self-righteous vitriol is sophomoric and tired AF.
I like pitbulls and don’t know if this is bait (perhaps you didn’t realize the obvious response you’d get?) but this post should be removed either way.
Worst comment section I’ve ever seen in this community
There’s two types of people: those who hate pitbulls, and those who’s pitbull hasn’t mauled someone yet.
What a shitty post.
Retaliation isn’t very wholesome.
Especially when some power fantasy tripping mod already removed the comments in question, so there isnt even anything to retaliate in response to.
If it needs a CW(Content Warning) tag then it shouldnt be in a “wholesome” community. And yes obviously it needs that because countless people are traumatised by these kinds of dogs.
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.
You want to breed poodles out existence?
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.
Yeah, that’s my experience too: smaller poodles are likely to be feisty. Out of all the dozens or hundreds of dogs I’ve interacted with, the only one to bite and draw blood was a toy poodle.
That didn’t stop me from owning one, treating him right, and getting a fantastic loving gentle pet out of it.
But poodles have weak teeth/jaws, and are little. Not that I’m encouraging getting bitten, nor of punting to defend yourself, but you could.
Meanwhile my current pit bull rescue is the most cuddly, gentle, but loyal and protective dog I’ve ever owned. I can confidently stick my hand in her mouth to grab the slice of moldy pizza she grabbed off the ground. But she’s big. And powerful. With jaws that destroy even the strongest chew toys. There is always that worry that if she did bite, the results would be very different from the poodle.
I really dont see how pit bulls are painted as fierce unpredictable beasts, but they are big and powerful.
My poodle and my mom’s 3 other poodles are anything but fiesty. I have no idea where you heard that, but they are great dogs that are very intelligent and obedient. At least the larger varieties.
I’ve always been a bit skeptical of the “dog temperament” being closely related to the dog breed.
The only real trend I’ve noticed is that bigger dogs tend to be way more chill and happy to engage in petting and cuddling
But I think that’s what it is. Poodles are very intelligent and high energy. They need that mental stimulation and regular activity, or they will act out.
My pitbull is more low key. She’s fine with snoozing most of the day and doesn’t want to walk if it’s raining. The positive trait that gets her in trouble is she is very protective. Woe to anyone that comes up behind me
I just want to say op, you have two great looking pups! I can guarantee Teddy is the best cuddler.
They really are fucking adorable. 10/10 would give them snuggles and scratches.
Then again, I also like 100% of animals, so 🤷♀️
Just wondering? How hard is it for some of you to say "aww cute, doggy"or something like that?
But you have nothing to say about OP taunting people in the post.
How hard is it for you to keep your mouth shut?
Holy shit this was an aggressive response.
Lol just woke up and chose violence today.
🤘
Very cute dogs
I just want to scritch their cute memoryfoam heads.
Every single pitbull I’ve met has been nothing but loving and kind. I understand the context about people who don’t like them as they’ve probably seen things in the media about how pitbulls act, or something in a similar nature. I would believe that the media is just trying to get you scared, as I remember one time with a different story about a city I live nearby to, and how I said I was scared to go into the city due to the gun violence, when one of the people who live in the city said that they live in the hood, and have no trouble getting to where they need to go, which personally made me feel a lot better. That’s what I currently believe this situation is like. I do understand that this may not change some opinions with some people, just think about it, please.
You’re dismissing the people who have made their opinion from the overwhelming scientific data on this subject.
I consider that “media”
It’s best not to use alternative definitions in a discussion without noting it. You’ll only cause confusion.
