Reply to comment by Brotein_Shakez in anyone looking for a dog ? seen this on a local FB group. by quitblazing

Any dog can be an incredible dog, but Pitbulls should no longer be bred. They are a dangerous breed and even the most well behaving Pitbull can snap and have its instincts kick in. They are bred to fight to the death and ignore all pain. It’s why when they do snap, it’s usually fatal for other dogs and sometimes humans.

I’m glad people find them cute, but they were bred to be monsters. They should not be around any kids or other dogs.

Edit: Here’s a list of countries where the Pitbull is already banned. I wouldn’t be shocked to see it banned in the US within the next decade.

We had the sweetest pit... until it snapped one day and full on gutted my beagle for no apparent reason. :(

They are NOT a dangerous breed. They like any other dog will act based on how you train and socialize them.

No pitbull “snaps” or has “instincts” to maul you to death.

Don’t even fucking dare say anything else. You are stupid, sound stupid, and look stupid.

Some dogs were bread to have great instincts when hunting. Some have great hearing. Others are good for hearding.

I’m sorry facts hurt your feelings, but pit bulls were bred to be monsters. You can nurture it all you want, but nature will come through if the dog is startled, gets old, or just has a bad day. It’s why we don’t have lions as pets…

Oh so pitbull terriers didn’t come from I believe the UK or Europe to America as “nanny dogs”? You’re stupid. Stop talking

All of your answers can be found here. https://banpitbulls.org/what/what-are-bsl-talking-points/

Also, the the nanny dog is a lie/rumor. All history points to them being used to pin down animals. Literally google it and there are tons of sources.

Thanks for sharing this! I wasn’t sure how I felt about pit bulls (I’ve heard good arguments from both sides) and have been looking for more academic sources with actual statistics rather than anecdotal stories.

I’m not bullying your breed. I’m giving facts and trying to help someone who may have a family and are thinking about adopting a dangerous breed of dog. If you are happy with you Pit, then so be it. I’m not going to say it should be taken from you.

I don’t think any legislation on Pits is focused on taking them away. They are around preventing breeding and importation.
