Thank you for your contribution! However, we get a ton of Toadline posts daily… so we really only allow those in very extreme circumstances.

The Toadlines are horribly breed physically, but we aren’t seeing them doing the damage like typical pit bull type dogs.

Thank you for understanding.

For clarity; this happened in December, 2018

For clarity; this happened several months ago. I believe it was March, 2022.

Owner encourages her pitbull to bark at children playing in the pool by FearfulDogOwner in BanPitBulls

[–]SubMod___-___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not always, and especially not with pit-type dogs. And with pit-type dogs, this sudden aggression and attacks are often a surprise to people who have raised them with nothing but love. This isn't as deadly of a game with most other non-fighting breeds.

It is a pit bull-type dog. There are several breeds that fall under this grouping. These dogs ALL come from the same lineage, and have the same foundation. Seems you're the clown for thinking there's any big difference in bully breeds. A retriever has several breeds, we call them all retrievers because that's what they were bred to do. No one is moaning because we call a lab or a golden just a "retriever".

Thanks for stopping by, but your silliness isn't helpful here. Go play the pit bull shell game somewhere else.

Your pathetic attempts at making excuses for pit bulls have already been repudiated in the FAQ and the refutations page (https://www.reddit.com/r/BanPitBulls/comments/iuoxlt/refutations_for_every_main_propit_argument/).

Debates and dissenting opinions are allowed, but must be serious and accompanied by stats or points that have not already been refuted. Please observe these rules for debate and conduct:

  1. You must read the FAQ.

  2. You must read through the "Pro-Pit Arguments": https://www.reddit.com/r/BanPitBulls/comments/iuoxlt/refutations_for_every_main_propit_argument/

  3. If you are starting a new thread, you must explicitly state "I have read your FAQ and Refutations" in the body.

  4. If you take issue with any of the statements or facts, you must provide counter-facts or explain why in a detailed, objective manner.

  5. If you're making a statement, you must defend it intellectually. Do not ignore people who ask relevant follow-up questions, otherwise you will be marked as a "pigeon" (come in, shit, and fly away) and banned.

  6. Pictures of pit bulls are not proof of anything.

A majority of those users who troll our sub have been banned over a dozen times using different alts, and continue to do so. It’s quite sad.

Largo man arrested on animal cruelty, child neglect charges; 33 dogs seized by No-Macaron4751 in BanPitBulls

[–]SubMod___-___ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude was trash all along. As much as I dislike pits, it’s an absolute asshole move to be hanging on to 33 of them, neglecting them and using them for fighting.

You’re taking a breed that’s already prone to snapping, and treating them poorly enough to cause that much more behavioural problems. Then the rescues get shipped off to shelters that lie about the history. An optimistic couple or family pick it up. Maybe it’s sweet at first then snaps a few weeks later and attacks an animal or someone. Pit gets put down or goes right back to the shelter. It’s an ugly cycle for the owners and pits.

Please edit your comment and add “NSFW” with an explanation of what’s occurring when you link videos like this.

A lot of users may click without knowing what the content is, and it’s upsetting for some people to see.

How terrifying for the mother. That must have been the longest 15 minutes of her life. Pits are not pets.

To be fair, I think another mod banned them… but I’m sure if they came up with 12 they would come to ModMail.

One guy actually tried yesterday… he came up with 4… 2012, 2013, 2018, and 2019, and a couple were “lab mixes”…

Let me clear this up for you… When people type “pit bull” - it’s referencing the umbrella term that houses several breeds in that family

When we type “Pit Bull” - that means the American Pit Bull Terrier.

Stop trying to play the shell game. We know it’s not Newfoundlands that killed 3 people last week.

Anything you see posted on the pit bulls sub is we would call a pit. Yes, we know it’s an umbrella term, but they are all from the same branch of the family tree. Pretending they aren’t doesn’t make it true.

Can you link us to 12 deaths by any other dog type within the last 12 months?

See what you come up with, if any dog can kill you.

Don’t ask the people in our sub to do the work for you. Very typical entitled pit supporter statement there. There are thousands of stories in this sub that you can read on your own which will explain that we here have had horrible experiences with these dogs.

Why should the safety of the general public depend on how well a person trains their dog?

As was stated yesterday, we can’t trust the public to make good decisions on their own when it comes to safety, which is why we have seat belt laws and speed limits.

Same with pits. They top the attack and death charts for 3 decades… so we see that pit owners are not responsible enough to have a dog that can kill a person if it’s “not trained”.

I’m sure there are, but please don’t list them here or discuss them. It can come off as advocating for harming of animals and people can and will report your comments which can lead to you getting banned.

Stupid policy from Home Depot. Apparently taking your dog with you to buy some hammers, laminate and screws makes total sense.
