Per-capita Mastiffs Kill more people than any other breed of dog.

Wait, Pits are not banned in the USA? .... But Kinda egg surprises are? Mind=blown

These dogs were literally bred to kills bulls and f'in grizzly bears in ye olde England.

Kinder surprises are banned there?

OP what about Bull Terriers SRS ?

NIn what way?
Leash laws exists for the safety of the public, as well as the safety for the dogs themselves.
More dogs get killed by cars, because of irresponsible owners who let them run loose. Is this the cars fault?

It simple logic.

Exactly! LOL

Ban cars!

A pit bull's ability to "lock on" with its jaws is one whopper of a myth that refuses to let go. There is no 'enzyme,' no special mechanism that would make a pitbull's jaws 'lock.' They're DOGS, not alligators. Need proof? After research, Dr. I. Lehr Brisbin, University of Georgia concluded, "We found that the American Pit Bull Terriers did not have any unique mechanism that would allow these dogs to lock their jaws. There were no mechanical or morphological differences..." The same silliness shows up with myths about bite pressure you lollipops loving dink eater.

Cars have utility on our society, a pretty big one wouldn't you say. Ferocious dogs do not.

Imagine you live in a small, safe neighborhood where your dog loves running off the leash. He's trained not to run on the road, and the neighbors also have friendly dogs that can run freely in a common area.
Now a new owner arrives with his pit bull. The other dogs still run free, but one of them gets mauled to death by the pit because he traversed the backyard like he always does. It's a dog after all!

Are you really gonna turn around and defend the pit, and spout 'leash law' bull**** when my dog gets mauled to death?

It was more of a joke if the dog got loose, kids would chase him or something. I didn't think it'd get its throat ripped open.

If it was my dog that pit would've been dead. No questions asked. Nothing. It would've been dead

I honestly didn't know about the "kinder surprise" eggs product until the news of the U.S. ban and kids choking on them came out awhile ago. Apparently only 3 choking deaths have been attributed worldwide to Kinder Surprise eggs, which is a super small number, so from that standpoint I think the ban seems kind of unreasonable. But I do think it's important to actually know the facts of why there is concern over the aforementioned choking risks.

It wasn't that the kids choked on the "eggs" themselves, but that they swallowed small, non-edible plastic toys encased within the chocolate eggs that they seemingly weren't aware of. Apparently the product's company specifies that it "isn't intended for children under 3 years old and adult supervision is recommended". However, we all know that a lot of parents will overlook something like this, even if it is stupid to accidentally do so. Granted we can't police every toy/potential choking hazard, but the idea of enclosing a small toy in a chocolate does seem like a kind of stupid idea to me in particular. So I understand the concerns, at least.

but but!! Harmless bro.

Why do ghetto thugs have pits? Srs question. Only liked one pit and it was a friend of mines, he was actually cool but literally only I was comfortable around.

Yes I'm trrrified of Beagles and basset hounds. Terrifying dogs!

So intimidating

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you here. Bear in mind, I have argued against pitbulls ITT. But if you let your dog run around public uncontained to your property via fence or leash, or your to your person with a leash, you can deal with the consequences taking that risk entails. That includes if the dog runs onto another person's property and gets mauled by their contained, leashed dog. I still view the pitbull aspect in this hypothetical case as an unnecessary and dumb risk for its owner to take by having it, but how many other breeds will attack an intruding strange dog on its territory? I'd bet a lot of German Sheps, Dobermans, and rotweillers will do the same thing as an aggressive pitbull would in that instance. You can't compare such a dog attack - which is defense of its property in any dog's mind in that instance - to pitbull's stronger likelihood of doing things like overpowering their owners to escape from their leashed grasp and then randomly attacking another dog or person.

What if your unleashed dog runs in front of a riding lawn mower on another person's property before they have time to react and stop, resulting in doggo getting shredded? Is that the lawn mower owner's fault? Like a pitbull - or any large dog breed - lawn mowers are potentially dangerous, and it was contained to the other person'e property just as much as a leashed dog.

It honestly pisses me off when owners of ANY dog breed feel entitled to let their dogs run free off leash. Unless it's safetly contained inside your home, a fenced area, or cage of some kind, don't let your dogs run off leash. It's fukking self-centered at best. Even if your dog is "friendly", a lot of people don't want to deal with it running wild and jumping on them/licking them and chit. That and no matter how well trained you think your dog is and how good it is at following a recall command, people who let their dogs off leash ALWAYS overrate how well it works, and people in public shouldn't have to worry about your dog. Also remember that not everyone likes dogs.




Cliffs -
Keep your dog(s) leashed out in public, regardless of breed. Stop expecting others to to put up with your entitled attitude about letting your dog roam unleashed.

You can't blame others if something bad accidentally happens to Rover because you decided not to keep him leashed and controlled off your property.
