I'd take hundreds of stray cats roaming the neighborhood over a single loose pit bull. Loose pit bulls are fucking dangerous and make me consider exercising my right to carry a firearm even though I'm generally repulsed by the idea.
Yeah but, and hear me out on this... one of these does not exclude the other. Both are good.
I'd take one loose Pitbull over 50 rabid tigers let loose in an elementary school. Loose rabid tigers are fucking dangerous and make me consider exercising my right to carry a bazooka even though I'm generally repulsed by the idea.
Now that's where our views differ
By "generally repulsed" I mean physically. I'm quite small and the recoil would probably kill me.
Looks like bazookas are back on the menu boys
While I fully support responsible firearms ownership and carry by a huge margin, I also gotta say, not the best option for defense against a dog. Dogs are fast and small(er than a human), harder to hit, and you're legally and morally responsible for misses. The best against dogs, and what I carry/carried for dogs (specifically dogs, had something else for deadly human threats) when delivering pizzas was a quality OC spray. Dogs can't fight through it like some people can, it's really effective and the dog'll be fine.
Go back to Reddit with that shit.
Shit back to reddit with that go.
Okay well you're comparing apples to oranges here now
A neighbor's cat once ripped through my window screen to try to get to my pet parrot, how lovely and sweet right? If that cat had made it inside, he would not have made it out alive.
If your pet becomes someone's pest, don't cry when they're dealt with as such. And that's not to mention the property damage that cats cause to other's homes, and their destruction of wildlife.
If you own a cat, it's yours not mine, keep it on your property you entitled brat.
Ok
Oh my gawd! Tina's face is getting absolutely destroyed by that cat's tongue, oh the humanity! Little Timmy was just walking down the street when that vicious tabby came up and randomly whacked him with its paw then jumped back into the bush - he'll never walk again!
Pit bull advocates are like evangelical Christians with cognitive dissonance, they say the most outlandish shit to justify their love of a dog that is a menace to society.
Not a pitbull advocate myself, but also not gonna sit here and pretend like the two of you are being in any way realistic about this
Take your weird hate boner for a specific breed elsewhere
People forget cats can be destructive claw and tooth tornadoes. I love cats, but they can fuckin shred you up quick too. I nearly lost my eye a couple of years ago trying to get a cat to calm down.
They don't forget, they just don't care. Like how they let their strays roam...they don't care for its wellbeing
Sorry, it's just that I've had two pets and a neighbor mauled by different pit bulls over the course of my life.
That's fucked, sorry to hear. I don't know why everyone is turning this into a cat vs dog thing. Isn't the root of the issue: don't let your pets go uncontrolled. Dogs can be sweet, cats can be sweet, but any of them can cause issues if they're allowed to roam free. Just be a responsible pet owner and there won't be any problems...
The person you're replying to is literally the person that turned this into a cat vs dog thing.
It isn't a problem with pit bulls it's a problem with owners that do not properly care for their pets. A pit bull that is mistreated is a dangerous animal. One who is raised in a caring family is not. Same with a cat, same with a beagle or chihuahua, same with a human being. Pit bulls were bred for violence but their existence does not center around it. I have been the owner or co-owner of three bully breed dogs in my life and not once have I or my partner been attacked by them, even when we first met and the dog was nervous. I have on the other hand been bitten by multiple small breeds, once very badly.
All this to say, I hate when people call for the extermination of pit bull breeds on the grounds of "they're dangerous". Every dog is dangerous. I do support certain restrictions, to ensure they have the space and can't cause trouble in cramped quarters (because despite everything else I do agree that having bullies in an apartment complex is a bad move), but saying they should all be rounded up and killed on the basis of their ancestry is a line too far. Dogs who are mistreated are dangerous no matter their breed. Dogs who are well taken care of are very frequently not, no matter their breed. The good solution is not to remove the breed, but perhaps to have a better vetting and licensing process for the owners and not make these dogs available to people who only want one to make it fight - which is, by and large, where the pit bull reputation stems from.
I hear you, but pit bulls should not be in a city at all. The fact that loose pit bulls tend to be the poorly treated ones is a sufficient to justify an outright urban ban on them, because the "one bite" rule is not sufficient protection when that one bite could be life-ending, and how the fuck do you proposed to distinguish brutal pit owners from responsible owners from owners that have psychologically damaged rescue pits? I don't give a fuck if tiny dog breeds bite - if I can theoretically score a field goal with a pet, the relative risk is low.
