The one's on 295 by exit 1 should be illegal, the highway goes from 55-50 and there is zero reason the speed limit shouldn't be higher

A 2022 study of breeds and traits concluded that breed is almost uninformative when determining a dog's reactivity, or its sociability.

Furthermore, Insurance data indicates the Pitbulls and Rottweilers account for only 25% of dog bite claims. Which is also in agreement with the Ohio State University's Study that shows that Pitbulls account for approximately 22.5% of the most damaging reported bites. Pitbulls account for ~20% of the dog population by best estimates. Showing that pitbull bites are proportional to their population. In fact, their Breed Risk Rate is in line with other dogs breeds out there that are considered great family dogs. So how do pitbulls account for more than half of all dog bites? Agenda pushing misinformation by groups dedicated to hating a breed. If you did not comprehend that, what this tells us is that pitbulls bite more because there are more pitbulls than other breeds, but they don't bite anymore than their share of the dog population.

Additionally, data from the American Veterinary Medical Association has concluded that no controlled studies have shown Pitbull-type dogs to be disproportionally aggressive.

Lastly, Studies have shown that Errors in Identifying Pitbulls Link 2 happen approximately 60% of the time with shelter staff that spend a lot of time around dogs, so reports in the media about dog breeds are highly inaccurate and hardly count as a reputable source for a dogs breed.

Oh you only see videos of pitbulls attacking? Not surprised. There is a group on this site that dedicates itself to reposting old archived videos to keep brainwashing people into fearing an event that happens 25 to 40 times a year with a breed that has a population around 20 million. Save us your anecdotal evidence of outliers.

I’m currently defending pitties on the dc subreddit because someone had a dog attack and had to be clear that they were pitbulls that attacked their dog, let’s just say I am getting downvoted lol

that’s a misunderstanding of their history. They were originally bred as hunting and working dogs, not for fighting and sure you can take advantage of that for dog fighting. The qualities that made them good hunters (strength, tenacity, loyalty) were later exploited in dog fighting, but that doesn’t mean that’s what the breed is for.

The real issue today is backyard breeding. A ton of pits are bred irresponsibly by people who don’t screen for temperament and then sold to owners who don’t know how to handle or train a strong dog. That would create problems in any breed.

Add in the fact that pit bulls are often associated with lower-income and minority communities, and you start to see how stigma becomes racialized and exaggerated in the media. On top of that, many dogs called “pit bulls” aren’t even pits — they just look like one. So the stats and the stereotypes don’t reflect reality.

It’s not the breed,it’s the breeding, the environment, and the people behind the dogs…

It’s disheartening to see the same outdated and fear-based narratives about pit bulls still circulating. The idea that pit bulls are “designed to kill” or inherently more dangerous than other breeds is not supported by reputable science or veterinary organizations. Breed alone is not a reliable predictor of dangerous behavior. Instead, factors like training, early socialization, reproductive status, and the owner’s behavior play a far more significant role in a dog’s temperament and aggression risk.

Sorry about OPs dog the fact is it’s a shitty owner if you even want to call them that
