pitbulls have the power to kill but at least they respect authority. just have to posture up and flex a bit, they understand power and respect power

I'm comfortable with pit bull owners having their loved ones eviscerated, but it sucks when it happens to the poor fucker 70 year old neighbor or random kid playing on the sidewalk.

at least the pitbull gives you death, whereas a chimp will just disfigure you, leaving you to live with no hands or a face

You can own a pit bull or be a sane, non-hopeless trash person but not both. What does anyone need a pit bull for anyways? Get a rottwieler if you need a big threatening dog. I've known rotties to be loud and scary but never actually attack anyone. They drool and fart more than they bite, while once a month a pit mauls or kills someone. They're the AR15 of dogs.

I don't know why these things aren't completely illegal. Look at those serrated lamellae, designed specifically to grip onto the supple skin of a human child and drag back along the surface until a major artery is reached and nerves in the gums are stimulated by the beating of an innocent heart. This triggers a clamp-down response coupled with a violent backwards jerking of the pitbull's head, neatly severing any major blood vessels with surgical precision. The wedge shape of the breed's mouth ensures maximum damage is dealt to a localized area. Indeed, pitbulls have sometimes been known to gouge troughs in thick plate steel, such is their viciousness. While one such bite is often enough for the victim of a pit to quickly bleed out, the sadistic creature will usually inflict hundreds of lightning-quick lacerations on an already crippled child. All the while, the child writhes in agony as their tormentor struts around on their hind legs, bellowing out a distinctive "honking" bark.

Same reason some people want pugs, they feel a misplaced sense of sympathy and want to think that they can overcome genetic deficiencies like unpredictable aggression or the lack of a functional respiratory tract through sheer love and affection.

This is all well and good, but once that drat animal starts taking up all your other character spaces with more and more eggs that hatch into more and more monsters you'll have to start destroying them. :(

Or a bull mastiff. Looks terrifying but they're too dumb to ever actually do anything unless you train them to.

Bull and Italian mastiffs are extremely the poo poo. And the best part is that all of them are named after some professional athlete. Every. Single. Time.

This is always the part that gets me, you'll see dog people get really into breed history and how you shouldn't get this kind of dog without being able to provide it that kind of environment or how these ones tend to be overprotective of their owner or those ones tend to etc etc etc and then the second a pit bull enters the discussion it's all about training and nurturing and has nothing to do with the dog's natural inclinations.

Like how the exact same people that will tell you that a greyhound is always gonna need a leash cause they will always be a flight risk even if they're well trained suddenly think evolution doesn't apply to their pits.

It's both though kinda. Some breeds are more gentle, relaxed, better with kids, etc. Some breeds were bred to work and have high energy.

Don't get a high energy working breed if you don't have space for it, don't have time to train it well, and can't devote the time to work its energy off. No poo poo buying a pit bull then tying it to a post in the backyard for hours a day while never socializing it well will result in a vicious aggressive dog.

But no matter what you breed you have, it needs proper training and socialization and love.

But those people are stupid. Greyhounds do fine off leash if they are well trained. Pit bulls don't just snap one day and bite people for no reason.
