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

Reddit hates pitbulls

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

pngbrianb t1_j1nksyg wrote

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.

HungarianMoment t1_j1ogal4 wrote

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

lefluffle t1_j1ssdxa wrote

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.

curry224 t1_j1odvir wrote

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.

Pitties are not naturally over aggressive. They're trained to be over aggressive by some people.

ImpartialThrone t1_j1mzkkt wrote

This exactly. Putties actually have one of the lower aggression ratings.

croquettesandtea t1_j1n4ihx wrote

That's because pitbulls and other guard breeds attack without warning whereas other dogs growl or bare their teeth first.

Afaik this is misinformation.

Ughhh012 t1_j1n3vf2 wrote

Afaik Pitbulls are a group largely negatively impacted by incorrect stereotypes. American pitbull terriers and American Staffordshire terriers (pitbulls) are strong, confident, loyal, and eager to please. They are known as great companion dogs and typically do well with children. According to the United Kennel Club and American Kennel Club, they will show some dog aggression if not appropriately socialized, but aggressive behavior towards humans is uncharacteristic. In other words, it usually isn't the dog, it's the owner.

Mystical_Cat t1_j1mqo1m wrote

Super cute!

It’s perfectly okay to dislike a breed of dog; you don’t have to be a chucklefuck about it. I don’t like standard poodles, but I would never disparage those who do.

GreenZeldaGuy t1_j1nj81c wrote

It's a bit more than simply disliking a breed, the reason is completely different than disliking poodles for example

Why?

Because they have a much higher rate of attacking people although that statistic is highly flawed

Puzzled_Money_9292 t1_j1no7en wrote

So people hate pit bulls because of a highly flawed statistic? It’s part of the reason pit bulls attack people is because they’re trained to do that? People train a dog to attack people but then people hate it because they do what they’re trained to do?

There is nothing flawed about pitbull statistics. It's just the propogandists trying to get people to ignore data

Pretty much. Pit bulls can be huge sweethearts if trained right

lefluffle t1_j1ssu3a wrote

They are sweethearts whether they're trained or not. But they snap because they it is a breed trait to attack. That's how these maulings happen. That's why children keep losing their faces or their lives. Because of just ONE time the family pitbull suddenly attacked. That's all it takes.

Post what you want and let those misinformed folks stay behind the safety of their keyboards. I was once a member of the misinformed until I fostered a Pit Labrador mix. Now, the newest member of our family is a Jack Russell-Pit-Heinz 57 mix and he’s 100% pure joy. There’s nothing frightening about snuggles, belly rubs and loyal companionship. And BTW, Molly sure is cute. ❤️🎄🥲🐶🥰

The naysayers need to get educated. People have a very hard time with, "Don't like it? Keep scrolling." I understand some people may have traumas surrounding certain breeds but, don't be an asshole to others about it.

lefluffle t1_j1ssmml wrote

Have you yourself tried to get educated on the topic? Have you looked at resources from both sides? There's a reason that only one breed has a bad rep like this.

rokelle2012 t1_j1sxxen wrote

You are absolutely incorrect about "only one breed has a bad rep like this". It's been the Dobermans, the German Shepherds, the Mastiffs, the Rottweilers, and that's just to name a few. I am also quite educated on the topic and in all instances where one of these breeds has attacked someone it is because of the owner not training them properly.
