    I love pitbulls.

    I hate irresponsible people who don’t recognize the inherent danger associated to improper handling of pitbulls who put infants right under them to walk across the room and take a pictures just to try to piss off people who recognize their potential for mauling.

    Right before they leave the gate unlocked, the pitbull gets out, kills another person’s dog and rips out their Achilles tendon.

    “I never thought that could happen! Killer was always such a sweet and gentle dog! How could I have ever predicted this or prevented it!”

      YES. FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES. Proper care of a dog and understanding its behavior is key to stopping accidents like maulings.

        If you as an owner allow an “accident” like that, you should go to jail for years and never be allowed to own any pets for the rest of your life.

        Thanks for helping me know who to block. These fucking idiots pop their heads up with their half-remembered sound bites of “facts”, and the block button is really the only answer. I don’t talk to prairie dogs or dust bunnies either, but these morons are more tenacious.

        Also, here’s my darling boy rescue (from a “foster” that had him on Prozac as a puppy rather than CARE for him — cut from the same cloth as these assclowns 😭🤬🖕🏽), for solidarity and reference: while he’s technically a Staffordshire-Boxer, I’ve raised my fair share of Pitty rescues, including an Akita-Pit that was a champion of everyone and smarter than the average human by far. 🥰
