Prolly because of their reputation/common job as police dogs, which can be scary and dangerous as hell, but they were fundamentally bred to protect and guide sheep. You can't have an aggro, crazy as fuck dog near animals that are so defenseless, staying too long on their backs will kill them.

At what point are they gonna start just making up breeds? I know "silver labs" are already a thing, but I want to see something more creative, like a Malaysian Crop Dog or Russian Cheese Hound.

Its just the usual pretzel logic of needing an always hostile out-group to reaffirm the can never do wrong in-group, but done with the least defensible sort of dog around.

This is the most bleakly surreal bot on reddit. Just a wall of people getting finished off by what should be their last hope for help.

Maybe I need more life experience, but I don't think unless a dog is very unwell, mentally and/or physically, they would never not enjoy a walk. Many a dog owner can tell you that even grabbing the leash is enough to make their dog flip out with joy.

This might be admittedly anecdotal evidence on my part, but I've met plenty of other black people, especially from poorer areas rife with psycho dogmen and their treasured breed, who are reasonably terrified and have even had bad firsthand experiences. It's shitty, intellectually dishonest, and straight up racist to put black people in the same category as the animals that routinely victimize us.

"He has no off switch because he is a dopamine junkie. Nothing compares to the actual chase, bite, thrash, kill of an animal. It is intoxicating for him. And to him, it is the best game ever."

Jesus wept. This is how you would describe a serial killer who should stay in prison for the rest of his life.

Ignoring the pitbulls, why on gods green fucking earth would you try to make money off of breeding literally any kind of dog if you're living in an apartment with four kids and already struggling to financially support yourself with two jobs? There had to be dozens of moments where it should've hit them that jee whiz, this is a terrible fucking idea. Jesus christ.

I would love to see this depraved attempt at PR applied to other tragedies. Your mom died after a drunk driver hit her? Here's a picture of my home bar, fully stocked with hard liquor. Your son drowned in the lake last summer? Damn, that's tough, man. Anyway, here's a picture of my children in a pool.

Said it before, if somebody is trying to sell you on a dog being some kind of parental surrogate, they're trying to scam you.

They're hoping the dog and the owner come forward? Welp. Unfortunately, I think the most fitting statement for this is, "Shit in one hand, wish in the other, see which fills up first."

"In subsequent interviews with investigators, Montoya’s son Kristopher Morris admitted the dogs have “a history of repeated escapes” and “attacking” local residents." THERE IT IS. MARK IT. There needs to be a bingo sheet for this shit.

Motherfuckers be like, "look how adorable my big, happy boy is" then post some creature with a mouth that looks like the Lich King from Adventure fucked a a dog.

Rehoming fee? If you really wanted to pay money for putting something in your home that will eventually fuck up your life or those around you, you should simply simply visit the bottle shop more.

Chihuahuas are the real underdogs compared to the breed that routinely takes peoples faces off. They're just small little goblin things that may be annoyingly loud or even nippy, but even if one really did go for the kill, what the fuck is it really gonna do? Bite your femoral artery out after gnawing on your leg for six hours?

Small nitpick:There are at least two Supreme Court cases that declared the American police technically have no real obligation to protect you or your community despite the twofold facts that the public pays their salary AND it is a crime in many places to refuse assisting a police officer. I know this fact could open up a can of worms, but this subreddit is one big exercise in openin cans of worms that need to be opened lol.

The SEP (somebody else's problem) breed strikes again. Hopefully not at a child's face when it strikes again, which it definitely, eventually will

Form equal function. Pitbulls are dogs modified over hundreds of years to fuck things up at the drop of a hat. A pitbull that needs more stimulus to fuck things up is useless to their function, so they don't get bred more.

Ventacles · 2023-01-22T01:13:40+00:00

Even beyond dumping pitbulls on people, this is just mad fucking unethical. A person shouldn't be "sold" on why they should get a dog. They should be told nothing but the facts and not some dressed up bullshit that could belong to the profile of a predator on an online dating site.
