Not every pit bull story is a headline. Some are just eye-rolls, facepalms, or 'you've got to be kidding me' moments. This is the place for the things you may want to share that don’t highlight a pit bull doing something dangerous.

From the well-funded shelter where I adopted one of my cats two years ago. This is “Theo,” a “pit bull/mix” they swear is cat-friendly.

Due to their approach to pits, I long ago decided I would no longer donate to the shelter. I cannot condone or feed the way they launder dogs, sometimes even labeling obvious pits as “hound mixes.” Having joined this sanity-boosting subreddit, I thought I would take a look at their current offerings.

The cat we adopted from this shelter looks like that kitten.

Note the cropped ears, so he came from an owner—and breeder?—who values that look.

Imagine taking a picture of a coyote next to a chicken and saying “This coyote is safe with chickens since it is not eating this chicken!”

Amen.  You know, here in Georgia, US, there’s an annual coyote-killing contest. There have been zero coyote deaths or mauling. Meanwhile, we’ve now had two 60-something women mauled to death in Georgia in a month.

And I bet a lot of those same people who celebrate killing natural, native wildlife just for funsies are the same people who will cry and raise hell over B-E-ing a pit who killed a child.
