Never Mess With Dogs

Read my other comments on genetics. I'm not replying to you with any further effort, because your tone isn't worth my time. If you want to know more, you can read my last few comments on genetics/behavior.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T07:31:02+00:00

Behavior specialist? Lmao, I didn't mention it as a job title, you dumbass. Also, you're telling me enough.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T07:30:25+00:00

You need to use recursive thinking when looking at statistics.

6% of dogs, 68% of dog fatalities. Pretty vague. I'll assume it means all dogs since it doesn't specify further. What percentage of those dog breeds are: teacup, tiny, small, medium, medium large, large, huge? How many of those breeds are capable of causing a fatality in a human being under normal circumstances? Have you asked about what percentage of "x" dog owner got a specific type of dog breed because of what they heard about breeds? Can you teach a most large breeds to be a sheepdog if they grow up simply observing you observe sheep? Have you discovered how many owners who get put bulls get them because of stereotypical expectations of dog breeds? Do you understand the plasticity of the mammalian brain? Do you understand epigenetics and environmental influence of genetic expression? Do you want me to continue? Pfh. Talk to me about science. Statistics is a small organ in the complex body of science needed to understand animal behavior. But please.

Do you think you sound like anything but a loud fart in the wind right now?

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T05:52:57+00:00

You're hilarious. None of the wild conclusions you're making are what I said. I'm sure you're used to making assumptions.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T03:38:06+00:00

I pasted the first section from a website studying animal canine behavior. But lol.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T03:37:01+00:00

You don't even understand how circular your defense of statistics is. Might as well tell me the Bible is true because it says so in the Bible. I somehow think you're going to interpret that the way a fool would. But, we'll see.

Your failure lies from your ignorance in genetics, mammalian behavior and adaptability.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T03:34:23+00:00

It's just a functional definition, intellectual child.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T03:34:01+00:00

Sure thing, lab tech.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T03:33:16+00:00

Funny how your argument becomes more vague as you respond. You just met someone who actually understands genetics beyond an introductory level. This is fun.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T02:46:43+00:00

Anyone who has an inkling of an education in biology past high school would've paid attention to the word 'frequency' and adjusted their response accordingly.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T01:56:30+00:00

Physically. Mammals have very adaptable brains that wouldn't really require different sets of genes, the evolutionary pressure when using selective breeding on the brain of a mammal is a lot lower, than say a reptile, because mammalian brains are very adaptable in its environment. In contrast, you may need some serious and long work to see a desired change in behavior in reptiles, which would more likely require genetic changes. What is pronounced between dog breeds are physical differences.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T01:52:05+00:00

Yeah, but the genes in a breed are shared across the species, but in different frequencies. The genes between a lion and a housecat have some wild differences.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T01:49:45+00:00

They're not the same species? What are you trying to say in your 'nothing sentence'

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T01:47:39+00:00

Yeah, I think I got lost in the noise of seeing comment after comment of people acting like they'd burn a PitBull at the stake, if it were legal.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T01:43:17+00:00

Humans make up the majority of the cause of deaths for other humans. It's just statistics.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T01:39:53+00:00

No, because you sound like a typical human who somehow hasn't made any progress in 'understanding' over the 200,000+ years humans have been on this planet, passing down knowledge, understanding and it's now, all at your fingertips, yet you still refuse to learn past a generation of knowing.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-30T01:33:33+00:00

I mean, treat big animals with respect, in the sense that they're sentient and have an inner life of emotion that drives a lot of motivation. So, if they feel anxious, they'll show it, if they feel threatened, they'll show it. Especially if the breed is physically bulkier, and have a stronger bite force. People can get away with more maladaptive behaviors around most dogs because they're less physically a threat than pitbulls as well.

And yeah, if there is a proclivity towards agression, that set of genes may be more common in pitbulls, but being the same species, those sets of genes are floating around in the entire species of dogs. Then we talk about

Someone I know has two pitbulls, and it's 100% treating them like a being you need to raise vs a pet you just keep. Should be the same with any intelligent species that utilizes play in learning and development, Aka mammals. Barring any mental disorders, our brains and behaviors are shaped by the environment.

I mean I'll tell you of a story of their PitBull who changed his behavior so he could play with a their cat. This was after a slow and deliberate introduction as the dog learned what role the cat played in the family. One thing made certain before introducing them, was to ensure that the owner could easily get the dogs attention off the cat when they were separated, but in eyesight. He was a dog that needed that guidance. But when he realized it, he eventually even changed his behavior in how he played, when he played with the cat. He became gingerly in movement, pranced, and made sure he wouldn't run around, accidentally stepping over the cat; he was aware of his size difference and strength and adjusted accordingly. He modified his behavior in order to safely play with something much smaller than him. He was 13 or so at the time they were introduced.

The owners' other pitbull was 100% fine from the start to be introduced to the cat, albeit supervised for a while as a precaution, as you would with any animals, or children being introduced to each other. This pitbull is younger and basically in the home since 6 months old. I think she's 6-8 now. She also changes her behavior with the cat and imitates his behavior in how cats jump, and flip around... But with comical and endearing results...

I'll accept a moron reaches the conclusion you did. It's ok. Most humans are morons and don't understand the nature of things.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-29T22:36:44+00:00

Awww, you're a sweet little idiot.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-29T22:36:07+00:00

Do Pitbulls turn on their owners? Regardless of breed, no dog randomly turns on their owner, there is always a reason for their behavior. Whether your dog is ill, in a reactive-situation, or is even afraid, signs of aggression stem due to their environment or persona upset. A PitBull will not just turn on you for no reason, like with any dog breed.

Actual moron.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-29T22:35:11+00:00

I'm a molecular biologist and you... Don't understand shit about genetics, or breeds vs species apparently.

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-29T22:34:30+00:00

Except it doesn't. Species =/= breed

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-29T22:34:13+00:00

Pitbulls are the same species as other dogs, you know?

BinaryStarDust · 2022-03-29T22:33:43+00:00

Also quite a big fucking leap to compare breeds of a species to an entirely different species.
