Which breed of dog are you talking about though? Because "pitbull" is not a breed. Do you mean all of the 3-5 breeds ignorant people consider pitbulls? Or do you just mean one of them, if so which one?
Not all pitbulls are work dogs. It's not even a real breed first of all but the dogs that we consider pitbulls come from all kinds, they have work dogs and dogs that were bred for homes. If any kind of dog should be outlawed, it should be work dogs in general. To single out such a broad kind of dog, like "pitbull" is ignorant.
I agree that a pitbull bite is more dangerous than most other dog bites but that doesn't mean they are more likely to bite. Pitbulls behavior like every other dog is determined by the training it gets and how much energy it is able to expel. Any dog that is pent up and not properly trained could bite someone. It's true that a pitbull bite is a lot worse than a Chihuahuas, but if the owner can't train their dog they shouldn't even have one no matter the breed.
"prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized." Is the definition for "Racism" on Google.
It's obviously specifically directed to humans but when I was using that word I was applying it to non-humans. I imagine it's hard for you to take the irrelevant parts specifically about humans out and use the remaining definition that is relevant on a broader spectrum. But I'm looking forward to you explaining why that's stupid.
Okay, that's a really good point that I can't think of an argument for. I'm also relieved that you don't have the same ignorance for people and are actually apparently well educated about the subject. To your professors point, that's exactly why racism is pure ignorance.
Lmao so I'm using the wrong word? You don't have anything else to add to your side of the argument? I'm sorry for saying pitbull racist instead whatever word you would prefer. Please ignore that and give your rebuttal for the point I was making. When people revert to semantics, it's a pretty good indicator that they don't have any value to add to their argument and are grasping at straws. I hope that's not the case with you though.
You're literally saying one type of dog is more dangerous than others. What other word is there to describe that than racist? I wasn't accusing you of being racist towards other humans, I was asking if you were. My point was that you are doing the same thing "intellectual" racists do to justify their bias against specific groups. You can't deny your racist against pitbulls though, that's your entire argument.
That's why mental health checks should be given to gun owners, outlawing them just makes us vulnerable to outside attacks. The problem isn't too many people with guns, the problem is too many mentally unhealthy people with guns and not enough mentally healthy with guns. Most mass shootings wouldn't happen if everyone they were shooting had guns themselves.
Dogs on the other hand are completely different. Your racially biased when it comes to pitbulls, no question about it. Do you see that more crimes are committed by minorities and think it's because of their skin color too?
The shelters that do kill dogs don't just kill aggressive dogs though, they kill dogs they think nobody will want too. My boss has the most beautiful dog I've ever seen but he's deaf so you have to communicate with him through hand movements. Before she got him the shelter was going to kill him in a few weeks. This wasn't a Pit or any other dog some people think are inherently aggressive
The thought that they would have killed this dog if my boss's boyfriend hadn't noticed how special he was, haunts me every time I think about it.
Can we see them fuck?
