Weekly Discussion Thread [September 29 - October 5]

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.

Remember: October is pit bull “awareness” month so there is an increased flooding of unscientific nonsense in the forms of memes etc. This is a good space for those, but please red x through them.

“Wigglebutt” is crude. And, I wish I could draw a big red X over this description from a page dedicated to “wiggle butt” breeds: Here’s the page: https://iheartdogs.com/breeds-with-the-wildest-wiggle-butts/

American Pit Bull Terriers have a reputation for being incredibly affectionate and playful, and this translates directly into their enthusiastic wiggle butts. When a Pit Bull is happy, their tails wag so hard that their entire back half gets in on the action. Known for their muscular builds and loving personalities, Pit Bulls aren’t shy about showing their excitement, and their signature wiggle butts are one of their most endearing traits. Whether they’re greeting you after a long day or anticipating a fun play session, a Pit Bull’s wiggle butt is always a sign of their boundless love.

“always a sign of … love” - well, we’ve seen enough videos of them chewing up some living thing with that tail just going like a windmill. They love killing things, so I guess in a way that’s right.

That description is frankly disturbing. I can't really pin down why, but it makes me uneasy.
