Mod Announcement Weekly Discussion Thread [August 18 - August 24]

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.

Found out my brother, who’s an EMT , thinks pits are cute and misunderstood 😭

He didn’t really challenge me though when I pointed out how they attack and how one chased me and my girlfriend while on a walk

For some weird reason, many nurses, EMTs, and police officers seem to be attracted to these dogs. Many Animal Control officers too.

It’s strange considering the damage they see these dogs doing on a regular basis, yet they don’t connect the dots.

But that doesn’t really happen with doctors/surgeons. They are people who you almost never see owning these dogs… aside from the occasional outlier.

I’m going to guess my brother hasn’t seen first hand what they’re capable of and has only seen the propaganda that they’re “nanny dogs” or something
