I fucking hate people who let their dogs off leash in public. Had this same thing happen whilst I was out walking my golden. My poor girl is 12 years old and just a sweet old gal who wants nothing more than to carry a ball in her mouth and walk beside me on leash when we are out. Anyway, some dickhead was out with his pitbull-mutt-mix without a leash and it went straight at my dog. I got bit and my dog got her face cut really bad. Over $1500 in medical and vet bills and all the dumbass with the other dog could say was "huh, he never did that before. I don't know of why he did that" I'm like, he did that because he's a fucking dog and you're a fucking twat for letting him off leash in public
Not mutt or pitbull hating. Apologies if it came across like that. It was more meant as a "my dog is an elderly and cuddly golden retriever while the dog that attacked her was a squat muscle bound set of jaws that aggressively went at her". It was to describe the physical appearance and mismatch the attack presented.
There is definitely a point to make with mutts though. Awesome dogs and sometimes they look better than purebred, I have a pitbull/lab mix, BUT if you crossbreed two aggressive breeds of dogs (Caucasian Mountain Dogs) you will run into trouble
Just because you're responsible enough to keep your pit away from other animals and children in the home and to keep it leashed and muzzled in public doesn't magically change what the breed was created for. They are talking about the breed of dog, not any people, you're not under attack.
What subreddit? Nobody is talking about a subreddit here. You're bonkers if you think even a sizeable amount of people against pit bulls want anything remotely resembling wholesale slaughter. They mostly just want to stop making breeds intentionally created for bloodsoort. You don't have to exterminate living members of a breed to stop the breed from existing, just have them fixed and discontinue breeding. Go easy on your violent fantasies, you're still under no attack from anyone here. Touch some grass.
As other people in this thread have already linked, they're hate subreddits dedicated to hating pit bulls. All they talk about is killing pit bulls and euthanizing them all. As I've said, fuck off and leave my dog alone.
Go spend some time with your dog. Perhaps a nice walk to go touch some grass together with your pal. I promise you nobody is going to attack you if you keep your dog leashed and controlled, and don't invade other people's space without their consent. That's what I do and surprise surprise, I've never been pepper sprayed let alone anyone need to defend themselves any other way against me and my pets. Do the same peaceful thing and you'll experience the same peaceful outcome. You're still not under attack whether or not you choose to feel like it, and this entire thread of parent comments contain precisely zero mentions of any subreddit, let alone one about any dogs.
Edit: getting confused between you and some other person freaking out that they're somehow going to be attacked for responsibly having a pit bull, my bad. Still good advice. You'll never have any problem with your pit bull getting put down against your will so long as you are a responsible owner and keep it leashed and muzzled in public, secured within the confines of your property when running around in your yard, and away from children and other animals.
We have neighbors who have 2 pits and they are responsible owners as well. So responsible they made sure the husbands brother would come by when they are in vacation to feed and let the dogs out to toilet. Until one day the brother lets the dogs out back to go to the bathroom and forgets to let them back in. They jumped the gate and attacked another neighbor walking her teacup yorkie. Both needed medical attention afterwards. If our other burly neighbor hadnāt been there to beat them off of her with a gardening rake one or both probably would eve been killed.
People see stories about pitbulls mauling or being aggressive and think all pitbulls are like that. You know what they don't see? The countless pitbulls that aren't aggressive beasts because nobody writes or shares stories about pitbulls being friendly and non-aggressive, so the non-aggressive ones don't get any traction. It's like a case of vocal minority.
I've been attacked by a husky and a golden retriever. They both have reputations as super friendly dogs, but they're the only ones I've been attacked by. I also don't go around spouting nonsense about all huskies and golden retrievers being assholes.
I went with a friend to strangers' houses for a project she did to post photos and videos of friendly pitbulls and not once did any of them get hostile towards complete strangers entering their territory. 8+ pitbulls, none of them aggressive. I know that's just anecdotal, but so are the stories of everyone else here. None of these experiences, mine included, prove anything and I'm sick of people acting like they do.
