      You mean the literal dog whistle for racists? Because a large portion of pit owners are POC so they get to spew their hate without saying it out loud. Ever wonder why they get all bloodthirsty about killing those dogs? There ya go.

      I was mauled by a German Shepard with shitty owners when I was a kid. They’re literally trained for military and police work, yet where are the GSD hate groups? It’s almost like the people who hate pits, are the same who bootlick LEO and have thin blue line stickers. It’s almost like breeds don’t matter, it’s the training by the owners.

      Even despite that experience, I don’t hate GSD, I hate shit owners. Shit owners make shit dogs. It’s either that or Patrick Stewart is secretly pulling the veil over all of us.

      But it’s not really the dog they hate… so yeah let’s not have them here.

    Anyone else old enough to remember when dobermans and rottweilers were the killer breed of the day? I wonder what the next one will be.

      Some people just love to hate things. These types almost always haven’t met many of the creatures/people they hate. They hear about them second-hand, and/or have a few bad experiences, and nothing will ever change their minds after that.

      In nine out of ten cases, it’s just textbook indoctrination. These types tend to be allergic to critical thinking.

        Pit Bulls account for over 70% of fatal dog attacks, while only being 6% of dogs. They deserve their reputation.
