Do you think Pitbulls should be banned?

[Copperfield [SAC]]

Pitbulls have by far the highest fatal dog attack share by breed (65% in 2018 nearly 68% in 2022) the second place is Rottweiler which is 10%.
some people say the dog attack has nothing to do with breed, it's just bad owners, bad training and the other claim it's the dog breed's purpose that is to fight and they should be kept away from childern and small pets.

what do you think?

Yes. People keep saying "oh its their upbringing they did something bad to that poor little puppy" while they pose with muscle-clad murder mutts dressed in pink cheerleader costumes.

Then next week another pitbull will randomly murder its owner and the same cycle will repeat again.

IMO the pitbulls should be bred to be even more murderous so they kill their owners more frequently. Then they can become a force of Darwinism.

I knew a girl that was attacked by two rottweilers, I imagine she had scars for the rest of her life. Do I blame the dogs yes, and they were shot the same day as the attack, but I also blame the owners leaving two dogs unleashed at a state park. I assume the owners were punished but consider she and I were 6 at the time, I do not know for sure.

Even with that experience, I don't think you should ban the breed because of that incident.

Not just Pitbulls. I'm against separating animals from their families and environment, and keeping them as pets. It's like stealing your baby and selling it.

No but I believe the both the owner and the dog should be liable for any harm the dog causes.

They are liable. They can even go to jail.

People put too much faith in training a pitbull. Okay, the dog is trained and you're an awesome owner. The problem is genetic. It only took 46 posts for Chaos tell us a tale of pitbull woe. And I've heard it many times before. Great owner, bad outcome.

Better yet ban humans.

They're dangerous, see [proof]
That was one occurrence
Yeah but look. See [article]

are they wrong? How would you like your babies taken from you and sold off?

In the wild cats will frequently abandon their children once they reach a certain age. So its not like they have families as humans understand the term. Also they don't have pack leaders like dogs do, which is interesting when you combine that with the fact that there are no reported deaths by bobcat - apparently ever. In all of recorded history.

This is despite the fact that some people do keep bobcats as pets. Because they are giant cats this requires a license. (personally I would love to have a pet bobcat but my house is too small and the license sounds like too much trouble)

I just think it's funny that these little muscle-bound dogs murderize so many people but bobcats have never killed anyone that we know of. I would think the bobcat would be the more dangerous animal but there's the aggression which makes pitbulls much more dangerous.

Also I think you're missing the point of companion pets. Both the human and the pet develop a friendship for each other. If we could ask them if they feel better off I think they would say yes.

dog breeding should be outlawed in general, entire planet is crowded with stray and abandoned dogs and some creeps breed more for easy money

[Fake]

Blame the people, not the doggos.

As for the attacks, were any investigations done to determine why the dogs attacked? How were the dogs raised? Were they beaten/starved/chained up in the backyard?

Doggos need to be socialized, taken for daily walks. Some people think they can just keep a dog in the backyard and everything is fine, no it is not.

[Masque]

Eradicated, yes. Banned and forbidden to be owned or bred.

Sounds harsh? I don't care.

At first I was for banning them... after this thread I'm all for total eradication.... agree.

His music sucks and he's annoying as hell.

Who the hell wears sunglasses 24 hours a day!? WTF, are they surgically attached to him!?

How can you say that about the guy who penned the line; "the bigger they are they harder they fall, this biggity boys a diggity dog"?

Mr Worldwide is an international treasure.

Pitbulls are banned in my country. It didn't make enough of a difference, on the contrary it made them a desirable breed for "yobs". People still breed them and almost identical breeds and people still get killed.
I think they need to increase prison sentences for people who's dog harms someone. If you own a dog you should have it under control. The mail companies should be able to blacklist houses that have aggressive dogs and so on.

Because you couldn't answer my question? When was the last time a Pitbull shot up a school?

[Devsman]

Couldn't hurt.

Kinda like banning college students from the roofs of buildings during exam week. You can whine that it's not the building's fault, or you can appreciate that you've stopped enabling suicide.

You can whine they're just going to OD on pills instead, but in either case you've done what you can.
