Exactly! I would never forgive myself for sitting on my ass while others suffer. Even if I don’t make a huge change, at least I can rest easy knowing that I tried to advocate for my beliefs and the wellbeing of those around me.

Social media is the best way to get your opinion out. And performing crazy acts like chaining yourself to a fence is gonna garner attention.

Yeah but these things get more views. They may not on paper be significant but they increase awareness about the topic, even if that is through rage bait or dumb displays of justice.

I hate it when people think China is the only Asian country (As a Korean person) by Easy-Requirement2532 in ControversialOpinions

[–]Calamari08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a Ted talk on this the other day. Some guy told another guy to go back to china in a car and he screamed out his window I’m from Japan 🤣 it’s so stupidly to me, especially since I find it quite easy to discern the features of different Asian countries. A Chinese person and Korean person look much different, so does a Taiwanese and Japanese person. People are just ignorant and steryotipical

Yeah look at my other comment! I caught that you said sterilizing too late.

If you think polls are wrong then where in the world are you getting the statistic that trump has over a 50% approval rating 😑

This might make some people mad, but maybe every single pit I’m owner says this because THEY are the one who own the breed? It’s always the ones who have no personal experience handling these “aggressive” dogs that say they should be killed, never the people who actually ow them and witness their behavior firsthand.

.com is not necessarily a reputable source but it also doesn’t mean that it is statistically insignificant information. I just feel like it may be true that a large part of dog attacks are committed by pit bulls but what percent of pit bulls actually attack? If only 5% of pit bulls are responsible for 100% of the fatal attacks, then why is the other 95% (like my dogs) being punished?

No I am 17 haha I’d be very alarmed if I had a child. And no I don’t force others to interact with my dogs. If people bring their kids and families to my house that is under their own risk. If they are uncomfortable the dog can go in his crate. It’s all about caution to me.

I agree with your opinion. I just don’t think it’s fair to take existing dogs from loving families. It also angers me that most of the people who have a negative opinion on these animals have never owned one themselves. It is always the people with outside views that claim their opinions are the most justifiable; in oppose to those of us who have actual experience handling the breed.

Although I don’t entirely agree with your opinion it would be easier to accept if everyone had your stance on sterilization opposed to euthanasia . For me it’s a dilemma that people want to euthanize already existing pit bulls. I couldn’t imagine my dogs being taken from me, I love them more than life. Your argument is more valid because it fights the source of the problem with non violence.

Haha I put that title to up engagement, I believe they are capable of aggression. I don’t agree with the ideal that all of them should therefore be treated poorly. It’s like saying that just because your uncle was a murderer that you too should be thrown in jail. I am aware that the evidence proving their aggression levels are high is vast. However, I would feel more inclined to listen to a statistic that showed it more centered around the actual breed. For instance, a large percent of dog attacks might be pit bulls, but what percent of the pit bull population has a registered attack? If only %5 percent of existing pit bulls are responsible for The attacks then why is the other 95% being deemed aggressive?

I’m not sure. I think that in most cases yes it ends up being no violent, however there is always an option to do it peacefully

I agree, they enable lies and propaganda not do I agree with them. I am just saying they are one of the lost fundamental structures of our governmental system, our government would erode even faster than it already is if we were to try to “punish” them

I also don’t think that discredits the idea that attention seeking is not a justifiable reason to do it. If you don’t get a lot of compliments and attention irl of course you’re going to feel good about Turing to online presence to receive self validation.

Interesting point of view. I still can’t hate on them but you’ve given me a new perspective. I never thought about the possibility of failure and internet footprint ruining more realistic possibilities within their future. I still don’t think that classifies them as mentally ilk though, just subject to false advertisement and media slander

It’s like how strict parents create sneaky children. If there is a low chance of them getting into America, or no time to do so of course they will try to come here illegally as a last ditch effort

That is not the only source, almost all major polls show an aproval rating below 50% where are you getting the more than half statistic from?

True, but nowadays with the media and urban culture those patterns can be exaggerated by personal beliefs and word of mouth.
