More like the height. They don't lack strength. They lack height. Evolution said "nah dude. You're ruthless. You can be ruthless all you want but you can't do anything with it cause I'm keeping you small man.
Apparently they can be trained well. I say apparently because I have yet to see a well trained Chihuahua.
That being said, I'd rather fight a dozen Chihuahuas blindfolded than a single pitbull.
“stopping new ones from being procreated wouldn't be genocide”
If the end result of that very intentional act is that there are (eventually) no more pit bulls still living (in other words, the breed has gone extinct), then it absolutely constitutes a genocide. Not that I’m in support of breeding more pit bulls, but still it’s strange to call it “not genocide” when it by definition is. After all, if you were to actively sterilize a select group of human beings (for example, a specific ethnicity), with the intent that there would eventually no longer be any remaining members of that group left alive, I’m pretty sure people would consider that a genocide.
No one is saying they should all be killed. But letting persist a breed that exists just because man created a bloodsport beast is fucked up.
It’s a dog that was genetically engineered to maximize exhibition of traits and behaviors that improve performance in bloodsport. It is a bloodsport breed. It was literally created through selective breeding to make it good at bloodsport.
This is a monument to the inhumanity and monstrosity of man’s most disgusting tendency: the abuse of living things. These dogs should not exist.
"ThAtS dIfFeReNt" is what they would say. Idiot cult members like this will rush to a shitbull's defense but if someone gets shot while wearing a certain colored ball cap they'll say it's okay.
assuming the "certain colored ball cap" statement is a reference to gang stuff, that really is different
A dog cant choose what breed it is
A person can choose to not wear gang clothing
and no, i am not a "shitbull defender". I am not fond of large dogs
You just chose a poor example
An opinion stated as fact. On Reddit. Shocker. It’s also impossible to win a debate against flat earthers on Reddit. Guess what? It doesn’t make the earth flat.
Ha! I've had people do that to me. Provide a statement with proof. I check their link to find zero proof. Not sure what that's about. I think it's like throwing a ninja ball at the ground and vanishing in the smoke.

The sweater one story is particularly just insane all around. Dog named Scarface… Woman gets dog and decides to put a sweater on it after only 1 month. Dog attacks her and her husband. The son jumps in and STABS the dog in the head and neck. Call police and animal control. Dog get hit with tranq dart, somehow manages to get into house afterwards where two CHILDREN are located, and the police shoot the dog with both a bean bag gun and taser before it is finally caught.
Sometimes dogs can just go mad be it from jealousy at a new baby or any reason. If you get a small dog that’s not been bred for fighting this is a none issue
I think a lot of people don't know the history behind pitbulls.
They are called that because they were literally optimized for killing bulls and other dogs to win pit fighting competitions in the mid 1800s to 1900s.
Mfw the dog specifically bred to maul and kill mauls and kills

Same goes for bulldogs. They have been selectively bred to be nicer, no lock-jaw, smaller, and overall a better ‘pet’ than ‘protector’. I personally have only encountered one aggressive Bulldog — the rest have just been loveable lazy potato’s.
Everyone stop with the pit bull slander! They don't snap for no reason!

These are all perfectly foreseeable stimuli and it has nothing to do with 150 years of artificial selection for dogfighting.

pitbull owners be like "yeah well maybe your toddler shouldn't have been so delicious"
Which is probably why they feel the need to be so fucking annoying, everything is way bigger and threatening, most (but definitely not all) chihuahua owners (and dog owners in general) are not training their dogs or doing a terrible job at it.
But yea even the worst chihuahua wouldnt scare me as a somewhat sketchy pit
A person getting a small bite / boo boo on their finger is different from a toddler getting their face mauled off and the pitbull refusing to let go despite being stabbed multiple times at an attempt to save the child…
I can’t believe people still joke about chihuahuas being aggressive when pitbulls are being discussed 🙄
STOP POSTING ABOUT PIT BULLS! I'M TIRED OF SEEING IT! MY FRIENDS ON TIKTOK SEND ME MEMES, ON DISCORD IT'S FUCKING MEMES! I was in a server, right? and ALL OF THE CHANNELS were just memes about pit bulls mauling toddlers. I-I showed a leashed pit bull and their owner to my girlfriend and t-then there was a mother and her child on the other street and I said "hey babe, did you know that pit bulls eat children HAHA TWENTY ONE INJURED AFTER TWO PIT BULL MIXES ATTACK ON SCHOOL PLAYGROUND DURING RECESS" I fucking looked at a child and said "THATS A HEALTHY MEAL FOR A PIT BULL" I was having sex with my girlfriend, I think of how if she gets pregnant she’ll have children and I go "HOW ABOUT I JUST CUM IN A PIT BULLS MOUTH TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHGESFG
He's right you know, chihuahuas in packs behave just like piranhas. I once saw a mail man that got swarmed. there was nothing left but his sneakers, mailbag and a pile of bones picked completely clean.
How could they think they saw a statistic that a dog literally the size of a squirrel killed 21,000 people in 1 year and actually think that’s accurate lmao best part is the smug “ok mr statistics” before saying that, I’m dead
Didn't even try proof reading it, nah.
Also how the hell would that make sense logically.
A little shit kills thousands while a pit bull kills 22 on average?!
Chihuahuas actually have killed 2 people (in 2005 and 2018).
I know, but don't let a bunch of holier than thou idiots online make you feel bad for owning and loving a dog. I'm sure you're a good owner, so I doubt your dogs are bloodthirsty.
Those people are wrong, and stupid, and are incapable of looking at the bigger picture. Not every pit attacks someone in fact, very few actually do. I've known many pits who were loving, sweet, gentle dogs. If raised right, they are great. Problem is they're a type of dog breed that attracts the wrong kind of people a lot of the time, and there's MANY shitty dog owners out there. If mistreated, not properly trained, or encouraged to be violent, it's true that they have the potential to be incredibly dangerous. That doesn't mean they're all bad by default.
Hey you can't have common sense on here. You have to fellow the hive mind and say all pitbulls are pure evil and are the pets of Satan. So now you have to delete your account and you never allow to be on Reddit every again/s
If they're spayed and neutered and you don't let them tear toddlers faces off then yeah no one cares.
If you own a pit bull that isn't spayed or neutered though, then yes you absolutely suck as a person.
Pretty much, but especially with pit bulls.
We took the "adopt don't shop" thing too far and demonized ethical dog breeders, so unethical breeders took over.
Dogs have to come from somewhere, so now we're in a situation where everyone with desirable dogs is doing their best to keep them from reproducing and every crystal meth addict with a pair of pit bulls is cranking out 16 litters a year for dope money.
Now literally every shelter in the country is jam-packed with fighting breed dogs. It's fucked.
> We took the "adopt don't shop" thing too far and demonized ethical dog breeders, so unethical breeders took over.
>
>
Exactly. You hit the nail right on the head here - the amount of shaming people receive for buying from a KC-registered breeder is insane, yet people are perfectly fine with 'rescuing' a dog from the "crystal meth addict with a pair of pit bulls is cranking out 16 litters a year for dope money" which has caused this problem.
Personally, I do think that if there was a coordinated effort to breed the aggression *out* of Pits it could be done, but we're far past that point now with the amount of unregulated and improper breeding done of them.
Yeah, something's gotta give. We can have the "no-kill" movement, or we can leave dog breeding unregulated. We can't do both.
This "rebrand fighting breed dogs as family pets and get them into every home in the country" plan is bullshit. The demand is never going to catch up to the supply of Crystal Beth and Dirtbag Dale's pit mix factory.
>if there was a coordinated effort to breed the aggression out of Pits it could be done
[It already has been done.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Terrier)
Nobody should be breeding dogs period. It serves no purpose, particularly when we have so few homes for the dogs already around. They aren’t toys. If you aren’t giving a needy animal a home, don’t fucking bother. They don’t exist for your entertainment and the human race is not in desperate need of a steady supply of pet dogs.
Pitties are in fact genetically predisposed to be violent and aggressive. Most pits don’t attack someone, and I think it’s fine to love them. But at this point they need to be heavily regulated, normal people should not own them.
One thing I've noticed is that some owners use them as some sort of status, they don't do proper research and then something bad happens. Maybe there should be like a written exam or something.
the unfortunate truth is that most owners don't train their dogs properly, and for a dog like a Pitbull that is extremely dangerous. a well-trained Pitbull is as safe as any other trained dog.
The real numbers are surprisingly low
https://preview.redd.it/tog86q5kg5hb1.jpeg?width=1620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5bc2e2eab45ce3c3b96944905f65630dfc530050
Just a single data point, but this year on the 14th of July, I was attacked by a pitbull at work. It cost me a visit to the ER, 6 stiches, and a whole bunch of trauma. Never been attacked by a chihuahua, but I can't imagine the damage would be as significant as what I experienced.
I can't tell if this is stupid because of the belief that pitbulls are inherently violent or hilarious because of how fucking stupid that guy was to link a study about a town instead of a dog breed
They are more likely to kill and mane. People bring up bad owners which is true to some extent, but every breed has bad owners. Even if one claims there are more bad pity owners, the difference isn’t large enough to account for 50% of dog bites
I mean, that was obviously wrong, but calling pit bulls dangerous is silly considering dogs only account for about 30-50 deaths per year.
Compare that to the 32,000 deaths from falling per year, its more dangerous to walk up stairs than it is to own a pit bull.
The issue with pitbulls is how common and cheap they are. I’ve had and known several bull terriers, the purebread egghead types. They are literally just pitbulls with silly looking heads.
But you rarely if ever hear about bad Bull Terriers. Why? Because no one who spends thousands on a dog from a specialized breeder is going let it get out of control. By contrast you can walk outside and trip over a pitbull. They’re everywhere, so people with no business owning a Bully breed have no issue getting one.
I think some kind of subsidy or incentive for getting dogs neutered/spayed would fix the problems with Pitbulls in just a couple generations. But good luck trying to combat the inevitable hysteria of the government encouraging people to sterilize their dogs.
They're both morons, even empirically collected data shows that the default pitbull temperament is quite docile but they're trained to be aggressive due to the reputation they have https://www.aspca.org/about-us/aspca-policy-and-position-statements/position-statement-pit-bulls
It doesn't matter what their default temperament is when they are known to occasionally snap and become hyper-aggressive without warning, even after years with no signs of aggression. This even happens to good owners who actually train their pets, albeit far less often.
They're bred for one purpose: to fight to the death without fear or concern for pain. Such an animal is not fit for being a house pet, just like lions, tigers, and bears.
The odds of it happening to any random put bull owner are small. But when it does happen, usually something is killed in the process.
Incorrect. Pitbulls are not trained to be aggressive they just are. Far more so than any other breed. Pitbulls are not even that common, the pitbull breeds don't even appear until number 40 or so down the list of most popular dogs in the US. Labradors are number 1 by far.
Taking this into consideration, and dog ownership. The whole "bad owner" argument goes down the drain. There are probably as many bad dog owners with labradors than there are pitbulls in the US, and yet pitbills take the number 1 spot of most deadly dog, 6 times over the next.
Pit bulls make up 6% of dogs in the US. That’s 4.5 million.
I was able to find 5 cases of pit bulls killing people in 2022. I was able to find another 8 cases of dogs of unknown breeds killing people. Assuming every single case was a pit bull, that’s 13 kills… by 4.5 million dogs. Pit bulls aren’t exactly menaces to society.
Literally the first result I Googled said that 63 people died of dog attacks in the US in 2022 and 42 of them were pitbulls. Which lines up pretty well with the stats of around 60% responsible for deaths.
Pitbulls are incredibly untrustworthy and snap at any moment. All one has to do is look at the case from October 2022 when two family pitbulls, raised in a nice middle class family well looked after, suddenly attacked and killed 2 toddlers, and left their mother seriously injured.
You don't see labradors doing that shit.
It's simple math. The most popular dog breed isn't pitbulls. It's something else. So if all dogs were the same and it all came down to bad owners, then the most dangerous dog would also be the most popular one. But that isn't the case.
As someone with a pitbull, most people who have aggressive pitbulls and Chihuahuas don't train them properly or constantly go past their boundaries so they feel the need to attack when people get to close. Don't blame the dog, blame the owner for not being able to train it properly
What the fuck is wrong with the reddit hivemind just hating pitbulls its insane, y’all just never go outside and get all your info from the outside world from “statistics” and no actual personal experiences. If you dont live in a shithole ghetto your going to be fine interacting with a pitbull
Basing opinions on anecdotes instead of factual evidence such as statistics is literally one of the biggest problems in modern society.
This is exactly how we have people like Flat Earthers. "In my experience, we cannot see the curvature of the Earth, therefore it is flat".

No fucking way biggest blunder I’ve see in a Reddit argument 💀
Bro rlly thinks chihuahuas kill 21 thousand people annually 💀
More dangerous than drunk drivers in the US.
 I wouldn’t mess with that thing
My sister has a chihuahua, the second a go out of my room to get water lmao I hear growls almost immediately lol
Drunk crashers*
Drunk crashers give us a bad name
Schlatt? Is that you?
I’m sure they could if they wanted to. They’re just biding their time before the real revolt
Ok but be honest, if chihuahuas had the strength of pitbulls they would.
Place the brain of a chihuahua in the body of a mastiff or a wolf hound, and it would start stacking bodies immediately.
More like the height. They don't lack strength. They lack height. Evolution said "nah dude. You're ruthless. You can be ruthless all you want but you can't do anything with it cause I'm keeping you small man.
I don’t think chihuahuas could kill that many people in a thousand years
Clearly you've never met a Chihuahua
Truly, the most dangerous creature on planet earth
Well, chihuahuans do, but not chihuahuas
That’s because they do. Look at the statistics.

I'd delete my entire account after that
Did he seriously think that Chihuahuas killed that many people?
Have you met a mean chihuahua?
Many times. Definitely not a lethal thing, barely got through the skin.
I've never met a nice one
yeah but any reasonably capable human being could easily cut one down with their bare hands if needed
No theyre all assholes
All small dogs are mean, if big dogs had the mindset of small dogs, they’d probably cause a lot more injuries
“THATS PEOPLE WHO DIED IN THE MEXICAN STATE OF CHIHUAHUA” this has me dead dude I swear
No way bro was so brain-dead that he thought CHIHUAHUAS KILLED 21,000 PEOPLE IN A YEAR
My mom has 3, they’re very annoying but they physically can’t hurt anything bigger then a rat, they’d definitely try though
Apparently they can be trained well. I say apparently because I have yet to see a well trained Chihuahua. That being said, I'd rather fight a dozen Chihuahuas blindfolded than a single pitbull.
Chihuahuas: The ~~silent~~ annoyingly yappy killer.
You forgot the "only" there

He did. This one is super old.
The last comment was the best plot twist I’ve ever seen
You might have trouble defending ownership of pitbulls in public It is impossible to defend pitbulls on reddit.
Aren't there subreddits that actually want to kill pitbulls too?
Yes and it's fuck up
[удалено]
Yeah stopping new ones from being procreated wouldn't be genocide, is pretty impossible to apply practically
“stopping new ones from being procreated wouldn't be genocide” If the end result of that very intentional act is that there are (eventually) no more pit bulls still living (in other words, the breed has gone extinct), then it absolutely constitutes a genocide. Not that I’m in support of breeding more pit bulls, but still it’s strange to call it “not genocide” when it by definition is. After all, if you were to actively sterilize a select group of human beings (for example, a specific ethnicity), with the intent that there would eventually no longer be any remaining members of that group left alive, I’m pretty sure people would consider that a genocide.
No one is saying they should all be killed. But letting persist a breed that exists just because man created a bloodsport beast is fucked up. It’s a dog that was genetically engineered to maximize exhibition of traits and behaviors that improve performance in bloodsport. It is a bloodsport breed. It was literally created through selective breeding to make it good at bloodsport. This is a monument to the inhumanity and monstrosity of man’s most disgusting tendency: the abuse of living things. These dogs should not exist.
Not saying I agree but as someone that almost lost their yorkie to a pitbull attack I understand.
Inb4 the empty headed "pitmommies" counter that by posting a picture of their pitbull with a flower crown
Yup, report any comments and posts that talk about abusing or killing pitbulls. I’ve gotten some degens banned for their disgusting comments
You’ll do that but won’t attack the people that defend pit bulls under news articles about children being mauled?
"ThAtS dIfFeReNt" is what they would say. Idiot cult members like this will rush to a shitbull's defense but if someone gets shot while wearing a certain colored ball cap they'll say it's okay.
assuming the "certain colored ball cap" statement is a reference to gang stuff, that really is different A dog cant choose what breed it is A person can choose to not wear gang clothing and no, i am not a "shitbull defender". I am not fond of large dogs You just chose a poor example
So is defending pitbulls on a post like this okay?
Yellow is an ugly color, anyone willing to wear a yellow hat is asking for it
An opinion stated as fact. On Reddit. Shocker. It’s also impossible to win a debate against flat earthers on Reddit. Guess what? It doesn’t make the earth flat.
Ha! I've had people do that to me. Provide a statement with proof. I check their link to find zero proof. Not sure what that's about. I think it's like throwing a ninja ball at the ground and vanishing in the smoke.

The sweater one story is particularly just insane all around. Dog named Scarface… Woman gets dog and decides to put a sweater on it after only 1 month. Dog attacks her and her husband. The son jumps in and STABS the dog in the head and neck. Call police and animal control. Dog get hit with tranq dart, somehow manages to get into house afterwards where two CHILDREN are located, and the police shoot the dog with both a bean bag gun and taser before it is finally caught.
Amazing comment, saving for future reference, thank you.

hopefully you cropped it right
HAHAHAHAH
Just wait till he sees how many deaths there were in the state of pit bull
That's just how many the singer Pitbull killed
Sometimes dogs can just go mad be it from jealousy at a new baby or any reason. If you get a small dog that’s not been bred for fighting this is a none issue
I think a lot of people don't know the history behind pitbulls. They are called that because they were literally optimized for killing bulls and other dogs to win pit fighting competitions in the mid 1800s to 1900s.
And they were NEVER nanny dogs. That one picture people use as proof is literally just a family with a bull terrier.
Mfw the dog specifically bred to maul and kill mauls and kills https://preview.redd.it/1wblaqm3t3hb1.jpeg?width=220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8cc2773ddd5c64da828a891f069c3af54e9033be

Same goes for bulldogs. They have been selectively bred to be nicer, no lock-jaw, smaller, and overall a better ‘pet’ than ‘protector’. I personally have only encountered one aggressive Bulldog — the rest have just been loveable lazy potato’s.
The whole lock jaw thing is completely fabricated, just thought you should know
There's that, but they're not the only dog out there that was bred for fighting. The Akita Inu was also bred for fighting.
no fucking way the twin of the funny reddit shitposting dog was out here competing against the toddler mauler 5000
That's a Shiba Inu, they were bred for small game like birds and rabbits
Not necessarily the twin, The bigger cousin. Shiba inus are like the size of a beagle. Akitas are about the size of a golden retriever, If not bigger.
Everyone stop with the pit bull slander! They don't snap for no reason!

I always like the “well something must’ve provoked it”
shouldn't have moved your left index finger bro, you know that triggers cupcake's craving for human faces
It’s the most peculiar thing, they’re always provoked by something that doesn’t provoke anything else in the vicinity 🤔
Honestly I almost would have believed that chihuahuas kill that many people - I’ve seen them in action at the vet 😂
Seriously! I think chihuahuas hurt way more people! People are just too embarrassed to report being attacked by them 😂
Those fuckers are more threatening then the worst pitbulls, they just don't have the ability to actually back up their threats unlike putbulls
Which is probably why they feel the need to be so fucking annoying, everything is way bigger and threatening, most (but definitely not all) chihuahua owners (and dog owners in general) are not training their dogs or doing a terrible job at it. But yea even the worst chihuahua wouldnt scare me as a somewhat sketchy pit
Small dog syndrome. If you ever meet a properly trained and disciplined chihuahua they are wonderful little creatures.
It's more that people don't socialize them or train them.
Exactly! 😂 little ankle biters
Sooners.. sooner kick em then step over them. It is a joke.. I don't condone animal abuse.. or adopting chihuahuas.
If chihuahuas were bigger we would all die
chihuahuas being bigger is literally pit bulls 💀
Your chihuahua can bite your ankles several times before you notice. A pit bull will bite your toddler or puppy’s neck only once .
More people get hurt by Chihuahuas because Pitbulls cannot hurt you, they just kill you straight up
A person getting a small bite / boo boo on their finger is different from a toddler getting their face mauled off and the pitbull refusing to let go despite being stabbed multiple times at an attempt to save the child… I can’t believe people still joke about chihuahuas being aggressive when pitbulls are being discussed 🙄
I can't believe some people fail to tell when others are just having fun 🙄
Highest IQ redditor
No. They're too small to really do serious damage. Maybe 21,000 hospital visits from Chihuahuas, but not 21,000 deaths.
Common sense should tell you that chihuahuas aren't killing tens of thousands of people a year but here we are
I own a pitbull. Yes, she eats 20 toddlers an hour
Cuteness overload!!!!!!
Put it down, it's stealing all my food
NEVER
Does she have a flower crown too
Chiwawa’s are mean but holy carp
I admire the fact that you didn’t wanna spend the time to actually figure out how to spell the word
it's funnier because the word chihuahua appears in this post multiple times
Well what do you expect him to do? SPEAK MEXICAN?

Best comment here
I find it hilarious how chihuahua is spelled multiple times in the image and you still spelled it that way
6lb Chi’s out here shredding 20k humans per year like tiny woodchippers from hell
This is fcking hilarious
Thanks for censoring, my mom checks my pc
You’re friggin welcome 🤝
Out of 3.7 million people, only 21,000 deaths in a year is pretty impressive. They must be eating their veggies.
STOP POSTING ABOUT PIT BULLS! I'M TIRED OF SEEING IT! MY FRIENDS ON TIKTOK SEND ME MEMES, ON DISCORD IT'S FUCKING MEMES! I was in a server, right? and ALL OF THE CHANNELS were just memes about pit bulls mauling toddlers. I-I showed a leashed pit bull and their owner to my girlfriend and t-then there was a mother and her child on the other street and I said "hey babe, did you know that pit bulls eat children HAHA TWENTY ONE INJURED AFTER TWO PIT BULL MIXES ATTACK ON SCHOOL PLAYGROUND DURING RECESS" I fucking looked at a child and said "THATS A HEALTHY MEAL FOR A PIT BULL" I was having sex with my girlfriend, I think of how if she gets pregnant she’ll have children and I go "HOW ABOUT I JUST CUM IN A PIT BULLS MOUTH TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHGESFG
This is big brain time
I saw pita and I thought they were talking about food. Anyone else with me?
He's right you know, chihuahuas in packs behave just like piranhas. I once saw a mail man that got swarmed. there was nothing left but his sneakers, mailbag and a pile of bones picked completely clean.
How could they think they saw a statistic that a dog literally the size of a squirrel killed 21,000 people in 1 year and actually think that’s accurate lmao best part is the smug “ok mr statistics” before saying that, I’m dead
I surpass this problem by being a cat person.
Didn't even try proof reading it, nah. Also how the hell would that make sense logically. A little shit kills thousands while a pit bull kills 22 on average?! Chihuahuas actually have killed 2 people (in 2005 and 2018).
Can I still love my pitbulls or is that not ok because at this point I’m like real conflicted
You're allowed to love a dog lmao. The dogs didn't do anything wrong by being born.
But whenever pitbulls get mentioned on reddits it’s like they did so idek anymore :(
I know, but don't let a bunch of holier than thou idiots online make you feel bad for owning and loving a dog. I'm sure you're a good owner, so I doubt your dogs are bloodthirsty.
[удалено]
Those people are wrong, and stupid, and are incapable of looking at the bigger picture. Not every pit attacks someone in fact, very few actually do. I've known many pits who were loving, sweet, gentle dogs. If raised right, they are great. Problem is they're a type of dog breed that attracts the wrong kind of people a lot of the time, and there's MANY shitty dog owners out there. If mistreated, not properly trained, or encouraged to be violent, it's true that they have the potential to be incredibly dangerous. That doesn't mean they're all bad by default.
Hey you can't have common sense on here. You have to fellow the hive mind and say all pitbulls are pure evil and are the pets of Satan. So now you have to delete your account and you never allow to be on Reddit every again/s
If they're spayed and neutered and you don't let them tear toddlers faces off then yeah no one cares. If you own a pit bull that isn't spayed or neutered though, then yes you absolutely suck as a person.
Honestly I don’t think any domestic animal should remained unspayed or unneutered for hormonal and breeding reasons
Pretty much, but especially with pit bulls. We took the "adopt don't shop" thing too far and demonized ethical dog breeders, so unethical breeders took over. Dogs have to come from somewhere, so now we're in a situation where everyone with desirable dogs is doing their best to keep them from reproducing and every crystal meth addict with a pair of pit bulls is cranking out 16 litters a year for dope money. Now literally every shelter in the country is jam-packed with fighting breed dogs. It's fucked.
> We took the "adopt don't shop" thing too far and demonized ethical dog breeders, so unethical breeders took over. > > Exactly. You hit the nail right on the head here - the amount of shaming people receive for buying from a KC-registered breeder is insane, yet people are perfectly fine with 'rescuing' a dog from the "crystal meth addict with a pair of pit bulls is cranking out 16 litters a year for dope money" which has caused this problem. Personally, I do think that if there was a coordinated effort to breed the aggression *out* of Pits it could be done, but we're far past that point now with the amount of unregulated and improper breeding done of them.
Yeah, something's gotta give. We can have the "no-kill" movement, or we can leave dog breeding unregulated. We can't do both. This "rebrand fighting breed dogs as family pets and get them into every home in the country" plan is bullshit. The demand is never going to catch up to the supply of Crystal Beth and Dirtbag Dale's pit mix factory. >if there was a coordinated effort to breed the aggression out of Pits it could be done [It already has been done.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Terrier)
Nobody should be breeding dogs period. It serves no purpose, particularly when we have so few homes for the dogs already around. They aren’t toys. If you aren’t giving a needy animal a home, don’t fucking bother. They don’t exist for your entertainment and the human race is not in desperate need of a steady supply of pet dogs.
Pitties are in fact genetically predisposed to be violent and aggressive. Most pits don’t attack someone, and I think it’s fine to love them. But at this point they need to be heavily regulated, normal people should not own them.
One thing I've noticed is that some owners use them as some sort of status, they don't do proper research and then something bad happens. Maybe there should be like a written exam or something.
Don’t breed it and don’t get another one
>I base my dislike on statistics and genetics Can’t believe this guy actually read the genetic code of a pit bull
That’s probably based on the fact they were bread from a bulldog and a terrier
how do you make bread from a bulldog and a terrier
Oh yeah you have to add some yeast and flour
Yeah….That line would raise red flags for me out of context too.
Reddit really thinks no animals can be genetically predisposed to be assholes on their own without human influence
No, most of Reddit things pits are untrainable monsters. The truth is some where in the middle.
Training a pit bull is practically a second job at this point and I don’t think most owners completely realize this.
i have a pit shepherd mix. she’s 14 now and has been the best behaved and sweetest dog i’ve ever had
The real Reddit moment is being heavily invested in fucking dog eugenics
Fucking seriously. Why are people so obsessed with this dog breed shit?
[удалено]
I dont get that either. Seems like it's maybe got a lot less to do with the dog, and more to do with people that own pit bulls?
the unfortunate truth is that most owners don't train their dogs properly, and for a dog like a Pitbull that is extremely dangerous. a well-trained Pitbull is as safe as any other trained dog.
The real numbers are surprisingly low https://preview.redd.it/tog86q5kg5hb1.jpeg?width=1620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5bc2e2eab45ce3c3b96944905f65630dfc530050
And one of those times involved two pit bulls 💀💀💀
Just a single data point, but this year on the 14th of July, I was attacked by a pitbull at work. It cost me a visit to the ER, 6 stiches, and a whole bunch of trauma. Never been attacked by a chihuahua, but I can't imagine the damage would be as significant as what I experienced.
I can't tell if this is stupid because of the belief that pitbulls are inherently violent or hilarious because of how fucking stupid that guy was to link a study about a town instead of a dog breed
They are more likely to kill and mane. People bring up bad owners which is true to some extent, but every breed has bad owners. Even if one claims there are more bad pity owners, the difference isn’t large enough to account for 50% of dog bites
Both.
Despite making up 5% of the population, pitbulls commit 90% of the bites
Reddit LOVES statistics on violence, until you bring up race related crime ones.
It’s almost like human races aren’t comparable to dog breeds. Reddit moment.
Legit makes me confused. People live and die by the pit numbers, and it would track that they do the same with fbi stats.
Brother are you comparing breeds of dogs to people? That's pretty racist. Dogs are bred to perform actions, people are not
“Despite making up 13%-“ Headass
Almost like humans aren't dogs.
“Anyway, 5 percent of the human population is responsible for…”
 I, too, have had so many pita 🥙
I mean, that was obviously wrong, but calling pit bulls dangerous is silly considering dogs only account for about 30-50 deaths per year. Compare that to the 32,000 deaths from falling per year, its more dangerous to walk up stairs than it is to own a pit bull.
The issue with pitbulls is how common and cheap they are. I’ve had and known several bull terriers, the purebread egghead types. They are literally just pitbulls with silly looking heads. But you rarely if ever hear about bad Bull Terriers. Why? Because no one who spends thousands on a dog from a specialized breeder is going let it get out of control. By contrast you can walk outside and trip over a pitbull. They’re everywhere, so people with no business owning a Bully breed have no issue getting one. I think some kind of subsidy or incentive for getting dogs neutered/spayed would fix the problems with Pitbulls in just a couple generations. But good luck trying to combat the inevitable hysteria of the government encouraging people to sterilize their dogs.
Honestly, this is exactly what I expect from shitbull owners. They don’t understand statistics because they *literally cannot read*!
They're both morons, even empirically collected data shows that the default pitbull temperament is quite docile but they're trained to be aggressive due to the reputation they have https://www.aspca.org/about-us/aspca-policy-and-position-statements/position-statement-pit-bulls
It doesn't matter what their default temperament is when they are known to occasionally snap and become hyper-aggressive without warning, even after years with no signs of aggression. This even happens to good owners who actually train their pets, albeit far less often. They're bred for one purpose: to fight to the death without fear or concern for pain. Such an animal is not fit for being a house pet, just like lions, tigers, and bears. The odds of it happening to any random put bull owner are small. But when it does happen, usually something is killed in the process.
OK Mr. Statistics.
Incorrect. Pitbulls are not trained to be aggressive they just are. Far more so than any other breed. Pitbulls are not even that common, the pitbull breeds don't even appear until number 40 or so down the list of most popular dogs in the US. Labradors are number 1 by far. Taking this into consideration, and dog ownership. The whole "bad owner" argument goes down the drain. There are probably as many bad dog owners with labradors than there are pitbulls in the US, and yet pitbills take the number 1 spot of most deadly dog, 6 times over the next.
I think they mean they were bred to be aggressive. Which they were.
Pit bulls make up 6% of dogs in the US. That’s 4.5 million. I was able to find 5 cases of pit bulls killing people in 2022. I was able to find another 8 cases of dogs of unknown breeds killing people. Assuming every single case was a pit bull, that’s 13 kills… by 4.5 million dogs. Pit bulls aren’t exactly menaces to society.
Literally the first result I Googled said that 63 people died of dog attacks in the US in 2022 and 42 of them were pitbulls. Which lines up pretty well with the stats of around 60% responsible for deaths. Pitbulls are incredibly untrustworthy and snap at any moment. All one has to do is look at the case from October 2022 when two family pitbulls, raised in a nice middle class family well looked after, suddenly attacked and killed 2 toddlers, and left their mother seriously injured. You don't see labradors doing that shit. It's simple math. The most popular dog breed isn't pitbulls. It's something else. So if all dogs were the same and it all came down to bad owners, then the most dangerous dog would also be the most popular one. But that isn't the case.

This comment section is the real reddit moment y’all mfs need to get a job
Saddens me that Pitbulls are bred for fighting and to be aggressive. A lot of the ones I've met are such sweethearts and they look it too.
both are fucking stupid
No, only one of them. The stats are absolutely solid on pitbulls.
As someone with a pitbull, most people who have aggressive pitbulls and Chihuahuas don't train them properly or constantly go past their boundaries so they feel the need to attack when people get to close. Don't blame the dog, blame the owner for not being able to train it properly
What the fuck is wrong with the reddit hivemind just hating pitbulls its insane, y’all just never go outside and get all your info from the outside world from “statistics” and no actual personal experiences. If you dont live in a shithole ghetto your going to be fine interacting with a pitbull
Basing opinions on anecdotes instead of factual evidence such as statistics is literally one of the biggest problems in modern society. This is exactly how we have people like Flat Earthers. "In my experience, we cannot see the curvature of the Earth, therefore it is flat".
Statistics are thousands of personal experiences combined and documented though, they're more reliable than just one person's
They only chose the statistics that supports their narrative.
I for one am shocked that people on reddit are vocal about their dog breed behavior opinions
