pitbulls are scary

they look like they evaded some of the evolutionary requisites for a domestic animal of this century

This. Anyone who has raised a child would understand.

Nah, pitbulls are cute.

This is scary.

I know, hideous woman.

yes we got off topic just cause you felt like acting hard on the internet. instead of adding any relevant response you decided to tell people you are so badass you would of beat the dog and the owner with a bat.

The doggie may not be the cutest in the world, but it still seems like an incredibly patient and/or friendly dog if it's letting itself be held in that incredibly awkward-looking position.

I sense anger and frustration. Perhaps problems at home? I injured your alpha male mentality by saying I would attack the dog and its owner. The issue you have with me isn't even whether I have the right to attack them, but that you think that I think I'm a "badass". A rather juvenile argument. Please don't lecture me on relevancy when you yourself are completely foreign to the concept. Only person acting "hard" here is you. Why are you so obsessed with my original comment that you can't seem to let it go, unless it bruised your precious pride somehow?

the issue is you lying on the internet so blatantly and your inability to admit you wouldn't actually do it. it wasn't even an issue until you decided to further your statement and assure everyone that you would actually do it.

now continue to rant and run away from the fact you desperately overcompensated over the internet and got caught.

seems you are looking into a mirror

while the owner plays a role there are inherited breed characteristics
and that you have a docile pitbull does not change that that is more of an exception
why are pitbulls banned in many countries but staffordshire terriers not?
and why are argentinian dogos banned in more countries than great danes?
there are plenty breeds with similar builds but different characteristics
dogs have been selected for their characteristics for millennia and a dog generation is only ~3 years
and with the advent of "pure breed" standards in the 18th century there has been an even higher emphasise on those

there are plenty dog breeds which are more powerful than pitbulls which are banned nowhere

that being said, i do agree with your the second bolded
and that is scary when it comes to dangerous or other "volatile" breeds
so far never met an irresponsible owner of siberian huskies
but plenty other "strong dog" owners where the owner feels strong because he has a strong dog
everyone who does not inform him- (or her-) self about breed characteristics when obtaining a dog is silly
and anyone who considers a pitbull as just as much as a family suited dog as a golden retriever
reminds me of someone running a dairy farm with angus cattle

It sucks that you had a shitty experience with a dog, they are amazing.

OP doesn't address the idea that the dog is the owner's "child" or at least he sees it in that sense. You brandished a bat at his de facto child... you'd be swearing too, regardless of it's seemingly hostile behavior.





I'd have you on the ground with both arms broken long before you ever touched my dog bro. In general, the kind of people that take their dogs out to parks on leashes are as protective of their dogs as they would be children.
