Pitbulls are a mainly a reflection of the owner, stop blaming the pups.

    All dog owners should be licensed, all dogs are a reflection of the owner. The difference is a bad dog owner with a chihuahua only hurts the dog and not other people.

    also, if somebody is scared of dogs it’s not hard to learn how defend against one (edit: assuming able and of average strength).They should look into that before being racist against certain types of dogs.

      Good luck to elder people or children trying to defend themselves from a pitbull.

        You are right. I should correct my statement to say: an able bodied individual of average size is more than capable of defending against a large dog if they have put any effort into learning how.

        It is, of course, still the duty of the dogs owner to make sure that does not come into play as a factor.

        Just as PSA: if in a situation where you need to survive a dog attack, pull apart the front legs. It’s gross and brutal, but it quickly and easily ends their ability to harm anyone. The amount of force it takes is within the average human upper body strength. DeEscalation is preferable of course, but if it’s a bad situation that shit works.
