Reply to comment by TCPottery in Renting With Pitbull by weebchildren

Lol I teach reading and critical thinking for a living. Some attacks from pits are from bad owners, some aren’t. The breed is fundamentally broken on a genetic level.

Here comes the false argument about genetics and the pitch for eugenics and ethnic cleansing.....

Wait for it....

We’ve been playing god with dog breeds for over a thousand years. Lol @ eugenics like this is some kind of Nazi experiment. We created the breed by selective breeding, we can admit we made an error and let it die off. We already practiced eugenics in every dog breed we have made dummy. My mom’s lab is a result of eugenics, just like my sister’s pit.

I don’t particularly care whether it’s genes, training, or the color of their nose. When one breed is responsible for the majority of fatal dog attacks, you just get rid of the breed. There’s hundreds of other breeds to choose from that don’t kill 30-40 people every year, with almost 1:3 of those being children.

No, dude. It's just the next intellectual mistake in the line of thinking that you are wrongly following.

You have fundamentally misunderstood genetics and behavior. And that's fine because you're not a zoologist or veterinarian.

It's not fine though when you're being blatantly manipulated into defending the exact false logic that actual Nazis used to justify the Holocaust, including the false concepts of racial hygiene and biological determinism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_hygiene

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_determinism

Do you recognize and agree that you are saying identical things about races of dogs as Hitler and the Nazis said about races of people?

Now that it has been directly pointed out to you, do you see how your messaging might be used by foreign intelligence services as they run social media campaigns to amplify extreme, far right ideology, such as racial hygiene and biological determinism?

Do you now accept you are fundamentally wrong about the science of genetics and behavior and you sound indistinguishable from someone arguing the earth is flat?

Do you accept that you were demonstrably incorrect about the history of the breed and what it was selectively breed for?

And finally do you appreciate how selective breeding of domesticated animals and man's best friend is not the same as doing it to man?

I don't find your dangerous and uninformed reasoning funny at all. I find it stupid and immature.

You are babbling. Implying that being against a breed of animal as a pet makes me a psycho or a bad teacher. Yea, I’m a bad teacher because I don’t think we need the single breed of dog around that’s responsible for 40/50 fatal dog attacks each year.

Someone needs a quick trip to the therapist. You are getting absurdly triggered by people having an opinion.
