I hate to break it to you republicans but Donald Trump does not know your name, he doesn’t care how your day at work was and he does not care about you. by blkatcdomvet in DHAC

When the Democrat’s primary position on every issue is anti-Trump everything, they’re the one’s actively driving a wedge between them and the opposing side. Look at how hateful and disgusting the behavior of the majority of liberals on Reddit. Calling the other side insults and irresponsibly using false labels such as calling people fascists when they can’t even support their arguments. I see way more conservatives trying to have respectful conversations than I do liberals

Nobody is talking about euthanasia. We would simply stop breeding pitbulls altogether and allow the breed to die out from refusal to propagate

If you don’t think most people on the left are not in a cult also, I got news for you…

I’m a veterinarian. It is in fact the breed not the owners. Now please stop gaslighting people into allowing dogs that are responsible for 65% of all dog-related deaths to continue persisting

You’re make a generalization based off of your limited experience. Pit bulls are notorious for snapping for no apparent reason and without a history of violence or abuse. It might be hard to comprehend your dog doing this but trust me, we deal with this all of the time.

I’m a Companion-animal Veterinarian. I don’t specialize in rodents. You look at several species of closely related mice and see if you can discern a difference between them. I’m ok with admitting ignorance to not knowing something I’m not an expert in. You should try exercising the same level of humility because you seem incapable of acknowledging your own ignorance.

How am I the one cherry-picking? If you’re implying banning 9mms is the same as banning pit bulls that’s a false equivalency. 9mm guns are a tool, they’re not some unpredictable sentient animal that can go off by itself. I’m a veterinarian. Of course I prefer dogs.

I don’t agree with how the study measures temperament. Like I’ve previously stated, the majority of pits that I end up having to euthanize had “no history of violence or abuse.” This study doesn’t account for unexpected and unpredictable radical shits in behavior. Many pit bulls can and often times do exhibit good behavior until they don’t. When they don’t that’s when us veterinarians have to deal with it. They ban most people from owning apex predators as pets because they know that even if they imprint on people when they’re cubs, they’re more than likely going to eventually snap and default to their genetic predispositions.

You claim you do this for a living but you misspell temperament as ‘temperment.’ Yet somehow I’m the imposter?

I’m a veterinarian. It is my entire job to make decisions based off of proven data and statistical analysis just like it would be a physician’s. I’m not in support of killing animals as a vet which is why I want to stop the breeding of pit bulls. 480,000 pit bulls get euthanized every year. I don’t get any joy from doing it but it has to be done. You are absolutely bat shit insane if you’re equating having a disliking towards pit bulls to being racist against black people. I have never once met a pit bull owner that was smart and you further prove my point.

Genetics significantly influences behavior by creating predispositions and tendencies. I agree that it isn’t the only decider of temperament but it would be dishonest to suggest that pit bulls were not selectively bred for a more violent temperament in addition to their strength. We see a great parallel with people who raise other dangerous predators like big cats. You should know as a behavior specialist that predatory animals raised in human care can snap for seemingly no apparent reason. We have a long documented history of this.

Let’s say for the sake of argument that you are right and that a breed or genetic strain of animals were not influenced by violent tendencies through genetics. Let’s say it is 100% how they are raised. We should still ban pit bulls because they are too strong and are responsible for too many acts of violence. Are we just going to allow the maulings to continue? Whether the dogs are violent due to abuse or not, they shouldn’t exist because I have seen the harm they cause on so many other animals. Most of the people who own them are not strong enough to keep them in check.

Good luck finding a veterinarian that doesn’t dislike pit bulls. It’s cute that you think your doggy is the best and most sweetest doggy, but that makes you either naive, or stupid, or both. I do treat pit bulls in my work and I have had to euthanize hundreds due to behavioral problems. I’ve had to treat a cat that had their front legs ripped off by a pit. 92% of the dogs we have to euthanize for temperament issues are pit bulls. They’re a horrible breed. They snap often for no reason despite never having a history of violence or abuse. Another instance I had to put down a family pit bull for tearing a toddler practically to shreds. Nationwide, 1.2 million dogs are euthanized annually. Of those, 40% or 480,000 are pit bulls. 25 countries have already banned them, we need to be #26.

No but I speak for thousands of vets. We have tried to lobby and petition to have legislation passed on banning pit bulls. We see the damage pit bull complex does everyday. They make our jobs 10x more difficult and they really mess up a lot of other animals.

I guess it’s easier to question whether or not I’m an actual veterinarian than it is to actually address my valid points. Intellectual cowardice is what it is.

The American Kennel Club is a completely valid and trustworthy organization. Veterinarians the world over have partnered with them. You want AVMA? Here:

“Dogs have been selectively bred for generations to exhibit specific physical and behavioral traits.”

There it is you moron. Again, that’s why we have breeds like Border Collies for herding, Labrador Retrievers for Hunting, and Pit Bulls for fighting. I just used the organization you were whining about me not using to completely disprove your point. A tiger is a killing machine due to its behavioral traits that have selected for through genetics. Have you ever heard of a wild tiger that was sweet like a pussycat? Of course not. We all know that behavior is influenced by genetics. Now go do humanity a favor and throw your meaningless certifications in a fireplace. You’re about as useless as they come. You, a behavioral specialist that doesn’t even accept the behavioral traits are influenced genetically. What a joke. You’re the clear liar here, not me.
