Why were people upset because you posted a photo of a pitbull?

Reddit is insufferable. And I’d love to see the pit pic.

I can only speak for myself, but both of my parents were attacked by pit bulls in front of me at a young age. they both had to go to the hospital. I am very scared of pit bulls due to my childhood trauma and I wish that the balance of different animals and breeds posted in this sub wasn’t so heavily weighted towards pit bulls.

Some people are assholes unfortunately, and some of those assholes end up on Reddit with nothing better to do than put people and their loving pets down with their feckless malapropose opinions.

Dog attacks by breed

That's actually not a bad article. It mentions a few of the statistics' caveats, but I'm sure another big one is population. There are just SO many pitbulls for whatever reason. Go to any dog shelter in a city and it's just chock-full of pitbulls.

The shelters are full, but they aren't even close to the most popular dog bred.

Behavior gets them in the shelter, and keeps them in there

Exactly this is what people don't want to admit. They want to pretend that the shelters are overrun with pitbulls because people discriminate against them. That's not even close to true. Plenty of potential adopters have become brainwashed by now to believe the pro-Pitbull propoganda. The reason there are so many pits in the shelter is because they keep getting returned due to aggression problems.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. One thing I learned about in my endless Stats classes is that Statistics are not hard science. They can be manipulated by the data collected, number of instances/cases studied, geographic location, even the verbiage or definitions used in the question. God knows, all we have to do is look at politics to verify this premise.

You don't want a pitbull...don't get one. Leave those who love, respect and are responsible owners be.

My neighbor had a pitbull who attacked me for no reason. It also attacked everyone of his guests, and he treats the dog like his child. You people are absolutely lost.

Treating a dog like a child isn't good enough though. You don't have to take a child to training every week. The problem is still the owner.

Because idiots on this site hate pitbulls. And the only facts they can seem to come up with for their hate come from incredibly biased or misreported sources, which is sad and amusing.
