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.
So glad the UK outlawed these bully xl things. Not a day goes by it doesn’t maul one child or another
Fuckin dog racist.
Yeah no, Pit bulls should be banned.
Retaliation isn’t very wholesome.
Especially when some power fantasy tripping mod already removed the comments in question, so there isnt even anything to retaliate in response to.
If it needs a CW(Content Warning) tag then it shouldnt be in a “wholesome” community. And yes obviously it needs that because countless people are traumatised by these kinds 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
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.
Those aren’t actually OPs dogs. This is a bait.
Your right. One of them is my friends. I never claimed both were mine.
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.
Just wondering? How hard is it for some of you to say "aww cute, doggy"or something like that?

I often point out,
Cannabis is man’s best friend.
Sorry Dogs.
Cannabis never bit anyone’s face off.
I just want to say op, you have two great looking pups! I can guarantee Teddy is the best cuddler.
They really are fucking adorable. 10/10 would give them snuggles and scratches.
Then again, I also like 100% of animals, so 🤷♀️
Its so odd how people defend the continued existence of these creatures.
What kind of twisted brain do you need to have, to defend something that regularly attacks and injures, sometimes even kills completely innocent people.
Do you know what a snake is?
See this is what i mean. Brainrot has continued to the extent where people cant logically differentiate between an animal that is taken outside, often unleashed or not sufficiently controlled and a snake that is either wild(completely unrelated to the topic) or kept inside(cant randomly kill people)
Wow, lots of people with strong feelings whose version of “I did my research!” is remembering what stories the newspapers wrote because they knew it would spark outrage and attract eyeballs, and hearsay on friend-of-a-friend stories.
So called “bully breeds” are the best dogs I’ve ever met. I fucking love cuddling with those meatheads. Cane Corsos, Dobermans, and Rottweilers are amazing, loyal, and loving, too.
I’ve been bitten and needed stitches from both a Chihuahua and a Poodle. My daughter was bit by a absolute shit of a Bichon, and my ex was bit by a Husky when she was a kid. Fuck those dogs we should outlaw and euthanize them all, right breed-banners? Or maybe it does indeed have to do a LOT with nurture, and very little with nature? (or in the case of my ex (according to her Mom) because she wouldn’t stop harassing the dog).
However, I’ve met some nice poodles and chihuahuas and huskies too (not bichons though, little assholes), but I’m not so fucking dumb and shallow as to say we need to outlaw them all, just that owners should absolutely be responsible and liable for their pets’ behaviour.
PS - OP your dogs are cute as hell. Look at those smiles!
Thank you, and yes, your absolutely right. Any dog is capable of violence, but I think the reason pitbulls have this reputation is because many people want them as an attack/defense dog and don’t actually know how to care for them in a way that keeps them calm.
Same could be said for Rotties, Dobermans, Shepherds, and so on. It’s not the dogs that are shitty; it’s the people that own them. Address that problem and leave the dogs alone FFS.
Honestly I think people judge them by appearance.
Cute, but should be put down as all others of this race
