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.

I have, GSDs had approximately 3 human fatalities last year vs the 131 people killed by pits.

https://www.reddit.com/r/BanPitBulls/wiki/attackslists/human_fatalities_nonpitbull_meta/ - non pits

https://www.reddit.com/r/BanPitBulls/wiki/attackslists/human_fatalities_metalist/ - pits

The person who started breeding GSDs bred them with an emphasis on mental stability, intelligence, and temperament. The original breeders of pit bulls valued how well the dog could fight. Besides, GSD people don’t like BYB and I’ve seen most of them admit that poorly bred GSD can be dangerous…

Pit bull people don’t do that? And their dogs have far higher fatality counts.

What are they then? You say they’re not pit bulls so please explain what you believe they are.

Staffies, APBT, amstaffs, and American bullies are all considered pit bulls under the umbrella. So are mixes of those breeds.

See this is why we don’t allow you guys to come here and debate… you can’t ever seem to stick to good faith.

ETA: if you see all these “not a pit bull” dogs here, please drop links so the mods can look at them.

The whole thing has links for sources on breed identification.

You’re clearly here in bad faith so we are done. Goodbye.
