      Absolutely assinine that people can’t have squirrels or raccoons as pets, but dogs bred for centuries to brutally murder eachother in pit matches are free game.

        That’s simply not an accurate history. ✅

        There are tons of people who own raccoons and squirrels. There was literally a president that had a pet racoon. And to assume a dog is inherently evil for being abused for centuries is wrong. Bull terriers were breed for pit fights but they’re rarely associated with that kind if violence. Borzoi’s were breed for hunting wolves yet we never hear about them being violent.

          In most states, it’s illegal to house a raccoon or a squirrel without costly extensive licensure.

          And just look up the stats.

          Pitbulls have the reputation because pitbulls are the ones killing other dogs and sending people to the hospital every day.

          If you wanna clench your eyes shut and be dumb, have at.

          And to assume a dog is inherently evil dangerous.

          inherently dangerous. It’s not the dogs’ fault, but that doesn’t change what must be done.
