We create the breeds for specific purposes. It's totally okay for us to end them if they outlive their usefulness. Animals are not people.

Superconsndar posted:No my random dumb lab has a right to be off leash and run up to any dog it wants and act like a tremendous poo poo bc he's "friendly" and if your leashed dog reacts its your fault for owning a murder beast; any dog that isn't chill with my dog barging up to it and drooling in its face shouldn't exist in polite society To be honest, I'd be perfectly fine with regulations which prevent people from owning dogs until they've completed some kind of basic dog handling course and with dogs not being allowed in public (except for puppy school) until they've completed some kind of obedience certification. Unfortunately, the people most likely to comply with those requirements are responsible pet owners (just like the overwhelming majority of people who register their dogs have their dogs desexed). It's way too easy for people to obtain "difficult" breeds they're ill-equipped to handle (Staffies are now the second most commonly owned dog in Australia and I'll guarantee the vast majority came from back yard breeders who've crossed them with gently caress only knows what, haven't vetted buyers, and who haven't socialised the pups before selling them). You've got registered breeders breeding for conformation at the cost of health, temperament and performance, as well. If you want to get serious about reducing the overall number of dog attacks, you need to impose higher standards on both breeders and owners. Biomute posted:We create the breeds for specific purposes. It's totally okay for us to end them if they outlive their usefulness. Animals are not people. I actually agree with this to a large extent. In the case of many "difficult" breeds, though, they are still bred and used as working dogs. People buying dogs bred for working as pets because they "like the look of them" is a real problem and in some breeds you're now starting to see the emergence of bloodlines bred purely for companionship (so you're selecting for temperament rather than performance, while still maintaining the overall "look" of the breed).
