*approaches your toddler*

This thread is stupid. Any dog has the potential to be violent. My pitbulls are the sweetest dogs you'll meet and wouldn't do nothing to hurt me.

But to answer your question. Of you're not fit enough to stop a dog, you're probably a soy boy

Lmao dogs are literal the numale animals, dumb little shits and dyels like thier owners.

Dogs are mans best friend

Cats are cuckold animals for faggots and soyboys
Dogs are the superior animal

Freudian slip methinks

>literally the 'good boy dindu nuthin'-defense
The statistics don't lie in either case.

Well not one that's face is so fucked up it can't breathe properly for a start.

Dogs LITERALLY can't take a shit without their master watching them LMAO. Sad!

Cucks best friend!

hahahaha exactly my thought

But cats will low key smother your baby in their sleep

>wouldn’t do nothing to hurt me

So you’re saying that they would do something to hurt you?

yes, its reddit who are introverted shut ins definitely not Veeky Forums lel

What's the difference between low key and high key baby smothering?

I would fuck a dog up. Honestly. Like i know it would fuck me up too. Byt i gaurentee i coyld take down any fucking pitbull withoyt serious injury beyond some deep punctures to my arms and legs.
Just fucking shove your whole arm, no not your hand. Your WHOLE FUCKING ARM down its mouth. Grab wharever meaty bits yoy can find an squeeze and pull qnd yank until the thing dies of shock.

Dogs are simple bros. Not that id ever hurt one unprovoked i love doggies, even pitts.

Cats are all faggots that don't really care.
Get a dog. Or if you're not stupid and aren't very busy, get a medium sized bird.

>tfw had to give up my pooch

He was too anxious in a urban environment thus was too scared to run out his energy at dog parks making him a nervous wreck. He lives on a farm Now herding sheep, he has a better life.

>tfw still think of him every day

POO IN HOUSE

>catfags will defend this

They simply use too much strength. It's not like they intended to, if it's an adult it might just hurt a bit, but it's fatal for a kid. They're not kid friendly true, but great dogs for adults, should be ok with 12 year olds and older if they're not soyboys. If they are then 16 and older.

Why is it that only poor, lower class people own pitbulls?

i've killed a pitbull with my bare hands before, so yes

Because it's for wannabe tough guys

I.E.: niggers, spics, and white trash

I feel for you brother.

One finger

>based black trump supporter argument

Not every black person is a nigger

>They simply use too much strength. It's not like they intended to

so you are admitting that it's a violent, dangerous breed that lacks judgement and self-control

>adults getting mauled by a pitbull might hurt just a bit

are you fucking serious

When fighting a dog, you immediately have to surrender one of your arms. If you give the dog something to bite on to, then, in its mind, it's fulfilled its mission.

Once the dog has one of your arms, use your other hand to go after its eyes. Try to poke one out or at least cause temporary blindness.

At that point, the dog should let go of your now mauled arm. Kick the dog over, use your good arm on its head and your opposite leg on its body to hold it to the ground on its back and try and stretch it out. Then, drive your free knee into its throat. Do not be tempted to let go of its head and hit it or anything... that will only give it an opportunity to get free and counterattack.

Keep your knee on its throat till it starts to pass out, then let go and kick its throat as hard as possible to snap its neck.

Then, seek medical attention for your mangled arm before you bleed out and die yourself.

If you actually fucking look at the statistics pitbulls aren't even the worst offenders as far as dogs attacking humans go. They're just more widely reported on because pitbulls are controversial and thus get clicks/views. There is also an issue of misclassification, there are many instances where it's reported that a pitbull attacked someone when after further investigation it can be found that it wasn't a pitbull at all or even a mix in many cases.

>"B-but what about this site I found that says pitbulls are bad that link to sources that confirm what you just said!"
Read that, but slowly.

Are pitbulls more likley to attack a human than the average mutt? Probably, but only marginally so. I would argue negligibly so, but you can argue otherwise if you so please.

It's not like they use their full strength

Or just a poor socialization process in their first 3 months and a naturally fearful dog. My dad's dog ripped part of my friends face off and literally ate it a few years back. Because he was afraid and he didn't recognize that a little brown girl wearing a hat wasn't a threat.

We got him at 1 year old from people who kept him crated too much. I tried to introduce her but she hugged his face. I just wasn't expecting that. He was a step mix and was golden colored, so people tended to assume he was friendly. She seemed really intelligent about dogs and had kept one before. We were taking him out on a hike.

>brown
>not a threat
Wew lad

So why the fuck would you ever have a dog like this, when there are more gentle breeds?

She's actually not brown. I felt weird posting her actual ethnicity. She's a really decent person and forgave me and the dog. She didn't push charges or sue us even though she was disfiguted. We still got it put down on the advice of a behavior specialist.

Pit bulls are so fucking ugly

Needs a lot of attention so it's good if you're a single or without kids as it distracts you like a kid.

niggers and poor whites like to get them since it is a status symbol
you've no idea the amount of pitbulls ive had to get put down because they mauled another dog or badly bit a family member and got put into an animal shelter i volunteered in
im sure they can be raised well, but few people can train a dog properly these days

are you still with her?

Me again
Also hunting dog

>behaviour specialist
Lmao

Should have given it to me Milan

No, we never dated. We still hang out occasionally. She's one of those people who's really into climbing and mountaineering and is some kind of physicist, so she is always busy with other things. This happened when we were about 24.

Only poor savage people have pitbulls.

Veeky Forums can’t talk about anything without getting political, can it?

Basically cat v. dog is a choice between a 5 y/o (or I guess more accurately severely retarded adult) that will love you unconditionally but needs varying amounts (though usually a lot) of attention OR a 14 y/o, who may or may not be nice to you, may or may not resent you, may or may not show affection, wrapped up in an adorable, teddy-bear like body.

I prefer dogs personally, because I like to play and not take care of something that has a good chance of holding me in contempt. I see the appeal of cats though, and I've met some bro-tier ones. If all cats were bro-tier cats, I might have to reevaluate.

>31 U.S. dog bite-related fatalities occurred in 2016. Despite being regulated in Military Housing areas and over 900 U.S. cities, pit bulls contributed to 71% (22) of these deaths. Pit bulls make up about 6% of the total U.S. dog population.3
>Together, pit bulls (22) and rottweilers (2), the second most lethal dog breed, accounted for 77% of the total recorded deaths in 2016. This same combination also accounted for 76% of all fatal attacks during the 12-year period of 2005 to 2016.

LOL. You pitbull cucks use the exact same argument style. Ignoring reality and presenting your own false narrative

>The parasite, which is excreted by cats in their feces, is called Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii or Toxo for short) and is the microbe that causes toxoplasmosis—the reason pregnant women are told to avoid cats' litter boxes.
OLLOLOOLLOLOLO ECKZ DEE!!1111

Oh, cool, I get to do this again!

So that statistic comes from DogBite.org which is pretty notorious for providing a lot of misinformation regarding dog bite statistics and pulling their statistics specifically from news reports in most cases.

Not only does that discount any and all non-reported cases and many reported cases that don't go past local news, but it also means that they are subject to the whole misidentification issue I mentioned earlier. First reports from news organizations often claim that pitbulls were involved in dog attacks when further investigation shows that they were either pitbull mixes or not even pitbulls at all.

Finally as I also mentioned before non-pitbull related attacks are less likley to get media attention for two major reasons. First off is because pitbulls are a controversial topic, as I stated earlier, and it's advantageous to report on them specifically. Secondly pitbulls are large dogs and as such when they do attack they are more likley to cause serious damage and maim and possibly kill.

I am not disputing the claim that pitbulls are more dangerous than the average dog here. All accounts I can find show that they are a bit more aggressive and likley to attack and past that when they do attack they are more dangerous, that is a given. I simply dispute the claim that they are so aggressive as a breed that they should be universally banned or specifically feared when there are other dog breeds floating around that statistically are more likley to be aggressive towards people and other animals as well as breeds that will cause just as much damage when they do so.

Rottweiler are actually a great example. Looking at the sourcing on that claim specifically sometime last year I discovered when you consider the ratio of Rottwilers to Pitbulls in the US that individual Rottwilers are actually far more likley to attack people than Pitbulls are, however you never see anyone claim that Rottwilers should be banned, why?

Have a cat and a wife has a dog and honestly dogs are fucking stupid as fuck and annoying.

>Loud, stinky, and needy

Fuck dogs they're for women and soibois

>identifies with an animal that has the word "pussy" in its name
good choice, user

Wanna know an even uglier dog? Fucking bull terriers. They're literally the worst breed. Aggressive as fuck, not fun to pet, ugly. I used to work at a pet hotel and every bull terrier that came through was an absolute piece of shit.
There's probably only 10 bull terriers out there that are cute and actual good dogs
My irrational hatred of them knows no bounds

flat out wrong, you really don't know shit. Pitbulls were selectively bred over centuries to be vicious toddler killers.

You guys need to stop getting your information on pit-bulls from news reports and actually spend time with one. My pit was tame and never showed signs of aggression. Not every pit owner is Michael Vick

isn't there some news article out there about a MMA guy choking out a pitbull?

so why get a pitbull then? stupid idiot

> inb4 i like their look

no you fucking dont

>develop a breed of dog that grows it's lungs on the outside of its neck
>every member of that species is in constant pain until it dies of asphyxiation
>"wow look at this bigot trying to tell me not to manipulate the process of evolution to torture a hypothetically endless supply of intelligent living creatures."

What's the point of pitbulls? On top of being aggressive they're incredibly ugly, but not in a funny or cute way. They aren't specially intelligent either.

Nice job making the argument that pit bulls should require a license to own.

You know, so they don't end up in the care of irresponsible humans.

cats fucking suck. can confirm as i have a cat and wish my cat was a dog

>identifies with an animal that has the word "bitch" in its name

pit bulls are fighting dogs and purebred stock more than likely is a descendant of a reasonably vicious stud from some backalley ring

just get a rottweiler, theyre like what pit bulls couldve been except better and they dont have bite-everything-giga-autism. plus theyre cute as heck and a male with strong genes can make even better babby dogs if you get a good bitch to breed him with

because its fiercely loyal to the alpha, territorial, and aggressive which is all you need out of a protection dog that costs a cunt hair's width in comparison to a K9 from an acclaimed and reputable kennel. also the behavioral characteristics of pit bulls across the board does a better job of warding off and intimidating the kind of lowlives in lower-class areas and populations. hell if i lived in one of the shitty suburbs in houston instead of white people town i'd buy one just for peace of mind

not the guy you responded to but all cats are pussycats and bitches are only female dogs in heat i think so you're not hitting the mark here guy

Also not the guy but I'm pretty sure the point was that using semantics as an argument is retarded

Yes, I beat the shit out of many when I was a 130lb twink, its more about not turning your back on those fuckers than being huge.

These are the true niggers of the k9 world

You're a good owner, user.

You're a good human

...

Are there any people who are pro-pitbulls who don't actually own one?

Whenever you read a comment from somebody defending them, it always ends with a point about how great their dog is, and how it has never bitten a kids face off.

I do honestly believe that certain dogs are more likely to be aggressive than others. It's anecdotal, but somebody I work with had a Staffordshire Bull Terrier for eight years and it randomly ripped her little girls face open. He had never done anything like that before, he was brought up well, socialised, walked, etc, but he just turned.

This seems to be the case in a lot of child attacks. I'm sure a lot of these dogs are brought up badly, but the stories you hear often involve families which the dog has been a part of for years.

I wouldn't risk it around my children. I'd probably opt for a more family friendly breed, which I could kick at full force if it tried any shit.

You can even use a stick, instead of one of your arms.

German shepherds are way better guard dogs and more intimidating

Look up how they train attack dogs dumb shit

For intelligent white people ya
Google pit bull mauling, and there is a lot more pictures to warn your brown neighbors with though
Pitbulls are infamous as fighters
German shepherds are viewed as working dogs by most people. People dont consider their violent abilities because they imagine bomb and drug dogs

I don't own one. I just don't think they're particularly monstrous.

For the record I wouldn't really let any medium or large dog with a prey drive get between me and a really small child like that though. It's just kind of silly when you consider that just one thing sets them off and the kids is gonna be pretty much fucked.

Yea, as I said earlier, Pitbulls are more inclined to aggression than other breeds, but from what I've seen the difference isn't incredibly significant and there are other common breeds that are actually WORSE than Pitbulls when it comes to spontaneous aggression.

>I wouldn't risk it around my children. I'd probably opt for a more family friendly breed, which I could kick at full force if it tried any shit.
That's perfectly reasonable, but to be fair you can kick any dog at full force and it will probably back the fuck off unless you're a child yourself or a woman.

So sorry user. Was he an Australian shepherd?
Theyre great little shits, lots of personality. My brothers gf's aussie has bad anxiety though, she cant stand strangers. My aussie and my brothers are attention whores though lol.

>but to be fair you can kick any dog at full force and it will probably back the fuck off unless you're a child yourself or a woman.
Dogs feel pain, but they dont really give a fuck
Youd be surprised.
This article is from a less retarded version of peta
thedodo.com/yes-there-is-a-smart-way-to-break-up-a-dog-fight-1488888838.html

I used to own a mix, but his other half was a super docile breed, so I don't think I count as a "Muh Pitbaby" type.
Also I'm not so much pro-pitbull as I am skeptical about anti-pitbull sentiment.
How dangerous are they really? The cliche about statistics has truth in that they're always used to frame shit to look a certain way without the actual context. Like you'll see percentages of Pitbull attacks or numbers but how relative is that to actual number of Pit Bulls owned. It kind of reads like Anti-gun propaganda where they say shit like statistically guns are more likely to be used on their owner than on someone else and these images of "Pitmoms" read like the articles of "Guns Right Activist accidentally shot by toddler". Not that I don't think there's a difference between Pit Bulls are a dangerous breed, but how relative are number of attacks to number of Pits owned?

>Are you Veeky Forums enough to stop a pitbull from mauling a loved one?
An average pitbull, yes.
A trained, fighting pitbull maybe not but I'd give it a shot if I had lots of clothes on.

>you need to stop getting your information from the simple facts of how and why they were bred and statistics about their aggressiveness and attacks on babies and starting listening to my single personal experience with one pitbull

Get a vasectomy.

Chimps are also sweet, friendly pets until the day they chimp out and rip your face off.

He's wrong in that he thinks anecdote should sway opinion, but right in that information gathered in the wrong way can misrepresent the situation. If you're constantly and/or only consuming negative stories about a certain topic it can skew your view on that topic.
It could be true that Pit Bulls are the most likely to kill people, but at the same time those attacks number in the dozens whereas the pit population numbers in the millions. But I could just as well be wrong too, I couldn't get a clear number on non-fatal dog attacks especially by specific breed.
My point is don't be so cocksure because you've seen lots of news articles and statistics, at the end of the day you only confirmed your own bias.
