I had two roommates who both had pitbulls. Both very loving owners. These dogs were treated right. But they could not coexist.
After one fight too many, one of the owners got mauled by his own dog after trying to break the dogs up. He almost lost his hand.
Ban pitbulls.
In 2009, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia released a five-year review of dog-bite injuries. The review states that 51 percent of attacks were made by pit bulls.

In 2009, another study was published by the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology. The study ran for 15 years and it has concluded that pit bulls, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers are among the most common breeds that cause fatal dog attacks in Kentucky State.

In 2011, the Annals of Surgery published a study, which concluded that Pitbull attacks lead to more expensive hospital bills, higher risk of death, and higher morbidity rates compared to other breeds of dogs.
Last year the son of a good friend, with only 5 years, was attacked and murdered by the grandfather dog that knew him his entire life, he was playing with his sister and the dog... can you guess the breed? Yep, thats right. Fuck those dogs
Yeah no, Pit bulls should be banned.
So glad the UK outlawed these bully xl things. Not a day goes by it doesn't maul one child or another
What a shitty post.
Retaliation isn't very wholesome.
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're dogs are cute, But I'm sticking with the numbers on this one. I don't think any pits living right now should be put down, but I strongly believe we should stop breeding them entirely.
Those aren't actually OPs dogs. This is a bait.
I'm not sure any post in a 'wholesome' community should include the word 'retaliation'. Retort? Sure. Response. Absolutely. Reply? Fine. But retaliation? Not exactly wholesome.
The vast majority of pitbull owners are responsible and aware of the dangers that originally bred for fighting dogs will always have.
But for every 10 good owners, there is 1 ignorant, dysfunction, asshole who doesn't control their dog and let's them get aggressive or doesn't correct their instincts for prey seeking behavior.
Thats when children get mauled, and small dogs die.
I don't think pitbulls should be banned, but I do think that owners who do not take care of them or raise a traumatized fighting dog, should be charged as if they had been recklessly shooting a gun and hurt someone. Tldr Pitbulls, when mishandled, become deadly weapons. Owners of violent dogs should be treated as harshly as possible. There's no excuse.
We don't have a pit bull problem we have a problem with people unqualified to take care of animals problem. Also 10/10 fur faces
Cute, but should be put down as all others of this race
