In his younger years it was sort of like a souffle

Not statistically by any means. Pits are responsible for over 66% of deaths by dog attacks, German Shepherds 4.2%.

My vet friend says an unsocialized GSD is very difficult to deal with, but by stats alone it’s pit bulls by a mile.

Pugs can be really funny and charming, my pug was hilarious and cuddly and quite active. It’s not ethical to buy pug puppies of course and I’m certainly not defending that, but he was a stray in need of a home, and thankfully more exercise tolerant than average. At least they are a peaceful breed and can’t decide on a whim to rip your face off. Pits can also break out of or climb fences really easily, so your liability is high.

It’s like having a mountain lion for a pet. Why would you? You can have a nice dog instead.

Then explain how so many of them snap and eat children.

Genetics are genetics. Pointers probably aren’t bred for anything but being pets either. But they still do point.

They’re organized to do this. They have a Discord server and everything.

Facebook is super useful to see how bad it is. Throw search terms in like “pit bull attack/bite/kill” and see what comes up. It’s all people who have been attacked or their pets or livestock, and in every post there’s people jabbering all the propaganda. Like they hear a whistle.

It doesn’t matter what effort you put into them. They still snap all the time.

There was a farm on Facebook whose owners went out one day recently and came back to find their entire livestock population slaughtered, all the goats, rabbits, chickens and sheep. They didn’t kill them to eat them, they killed them for fun.

Doesn’t matter if they record breed or not. If you work in an ER you know it’s always pits.

Well the pit lunatics sure are out in full force to down vote this opinion LOLOL.

False. The Bennard family did nothing but raise theirs lovingly and they still ate their kids. That’s all propaganda from The Dodo about how they’re nanny dogs and all that shit.

That’s fine. I don’t want to argue with someone who put an effort into their mixed breed but is mindful of their genetics as well.

But I also have to point out that I have a mixed pit in my building and it broke away from its owner (who clearly has never had a dog before and has gotten swept up into the propaganda) and attacked a dog who was merely urinating and ripped its leg open. The owner was then subsequently resistant to paying the vet bill and walking it on a muzzle as she was ordered to by animal control.

I will also say that my friend was an ER clerk and one night the paramedics patched in to tell them they were bringing in a person whose friend’s pit mix had ripped off their arm simply because they were walking it and tried to pull it back from running after another dog. It turned on them and mauled them, until their arm was ripped off, and the cops had to shoot it to get it to stop. Never made the news.

It is 100% necessary to be mindful of what their genetics is and how they can turn on you.

It’s amazing how the pitnutters are down voting me. I don’t care, but it’s like someone presses a button and they come out of the woodwork to start their gaslighting.

Apparently the pit bull subreddit has a Discord server to discuss the ban pit bulls subreddit and how they can fight them.

It’s true. He also keeps licorice in there for a snack.

The casino here still allowed smoking long after it was banned everywhere else. You could also smoke at the Royal Canadian Legion after the fish fry was over.

With ashtrays in the arms of the seats at that. You still used to see them for a long time afterwards but they were sealed off.

Yes haha.

I would never do you wrong.

The thing is, dark money and Russian disinformation have installed a political machine in place that Trump is just the face of. As the face of this he has disturbed institutions of government and American life, as well as globally, which I think will take years to repair. It’s a global far right power grab, so even if he does die, there’s still a lot to fix.

However it’s his peculiar charisma that for whatever reason these people respond to in ways that they don’t to traditional dyed in the wool Republicans like Romney or McCain that is why they’ve been so successful, and when he dies finding a replacement for him will be difficult for them. The journalist Maggie Haberman says the way he will go into a room of these people and charm everyone in there is genius, really, even though his terrible personality is what his campaign was based on, really. He makes them laugh, my Canadian coworker who isn’t in any way a MAGA still likes him because he makes her laugh, which makes no sense because he’s not funny, but it’s the shock of him openly being what all of them really are underneath, racist and hateful and bigoted, that seems funny, I think anyway. His weird appeal probably can’t be replicated by anyone else.

So in my opinion him dying will have a major impact on the success of this political monstrous machine they’ve created, without question, but they’ve wrecked a lot of things along the way that will take a lot to restore, and my guess is that the Democrats will just let some things stay as they are.
