      That is hilarious. But there is a real problem here. It’s like we just transferred systemic racism to dogs. We create the problem in the stats and then blame the dogs that were abused to do it.

        I have a dream where Pitbulls and Chihuahuas can play in the same dog park together.

          Whoosh. The point is we enable these shitty owners who encourage aggressive behavior then we blame the dog when we set the system up that way.

              They were bred for showing off muscles. Doing damage when angry is a trait of all wildlife.

                My greyhound looks like it has had a constant supply of steroids for the last 5 years. You don’t need to buy a death machine for muscles

                  Greyhounds are closer to death machines than they are family pets. They are literally bred to chase things down and kill them. A badly trained or abused Greyhound is a nightmare.

            I mean ban shitty owners from owning another animal, put them in jail for animal abuse, fuck do both. But there is a huge difference in damage between a pitbull attack and say a greyhound.
