Campaigners have welcomed the move to outlaw the breed they argue is "a clear and present threat to public health", but concerns have been raised it may not be practical and lead to other kinds of dogs being prohibited.
That is hilarious. But there is a real problem here. It’s like we just transferred systemic racism to dogs. We create the problem in the stats and then blame the dogs that were abused to do it.

I actually saved this into a list of ignorant comments I keep. Is easily top ten material. Comparing the banning of pit bulls to the result of the slave trade is a hell of a comment. Congratulations?
Not to say I agree with him but he didn’t compare those two things at all. He said it’s the same mentality that underlies racism and ‘breedism’ for lack of a better word.
Comparing people to dogs is fucked up. Asian, latinos, etc aren’t “breeds”. There’s also the implication of certain races being more prone to committing crimes. Honestly, both of you stink like racists.
You’re completely missing the point of an analogy. No one is comparing humans to animals. What’s similar is the thought process behind arriving at both conclusions. We could be talking about humans, animals, cars… the subject doesn’t matter, it’s the thought process that’s the same.
I mean ban shitty owners from owning another animal, put them in jail for animal abuse, fuck do both. But there is a huge difference in damage between a pitbull attack and say a greyhound.
Greyhounds are closer to death machines than they are family pets. They are literally bred to chase things down and kill them. A badly trained or abused Greyhound is a nightmare.

I’m sorry, you think systemic racism stopped when we outlawed most slavery?
Screw the dogs, tell me more about this utopia you live in without modern day systemic racism.
You just compared black people to breeds of dog.
Sit down.
Nope. Compared people hating on specific dog breeds to racists though. Maybe go back and read that again?
I have a dream where Pitbulls and Chihuahuas can play in the same dog park together.
Dude Chihuahuas are never going to be welcome in the big dog part of the park.
Dog breeds are not comparable to human races. You might as well compare your woodshed to London.
Whoosh. The point is we enable these shitty owners who encourage aggressive behavior then we blame the dog when we set the system up that way.

Whoosh. The dog was bred for a long time to be mean and cause a lot of damage when it was angry.
They were bred for showing off muscles. Doing damage when angry is a trait of all wildlife.
My greyhound looks like it has had a constant supply of steroids for the last 5 years. You don’t need to buy a death machine for muscles

My guinea pigs cause few injuries when they are upset.
