Weird I thought the ones at dog shows were supposed to be the ones with "responsible breeding" and "responsible owners"?
Or the argument that show breeds (e.g. AmStaffs) are magically safe...

This is why they respond to every post about a pit bull attack with a picture of their own next to a baby and say "it's not the breed! MY dog is fine"
There are nearly identical pictures for pits that later killed their owners.
Statistics show it's a breed issue.

Does she know that her constituents are the humans, not the dogs? 🤔
I'm more concerned about people's rights to walk down the street without being attacked by a dog that was bred mostly from AmStaffs and APBTs — both banned under the pit bull type.

There are so many replies to that post advocating for TNR. 😑
The propaganda is so strong, especially in recent years with pro-TNR shelters funding new "research" on it that coincidentally always seems to find that it works, in contrast with most literature. 🫠

While the problem may seem insurmountable because "likelihood of aggressive behaviour is complex & multi-factorial," the end result of attacks and fatalities is quite clearly dominated by one type of dog. It's a breed-related issue.

So XL Bully ban opponents are claiming a broom handle shouldn't have been used to break up a fight between dogs.
What should have been done?
Should she have let them fight and injure each other?
Should she have stuck her hand in the middle of it?
This is victim blaming.

Sometimes I think about the police warnings in 2018 about the newly popular American Bully, and the RSPCA campaigning against any BSL.
It's sad to consider how many more people and pets would still be alive if it weren't for RSPCA campaigning with US lobbyist data.

I disagree with most of Walsh's opinions but this one is spot on correct
Stop subjecting your households and community members to the risk of a life-changing attack just because you want to own a big scary dog or want to feel good about rescuing a "misunderstood" pet
I don’t often do this but today I issued a public apology. I’m sorry to all of the pit bull owners that I’ve criticized over the years. I realize now that your reasons for owning these animals are valid. I was wrong. I’m sorry.

The shelters aren't helping. They play down breed differences with "all dogs are individuals" yet paradoxically aim for a live release rate of >90% to achieve a no-kill label, regardless of intake stats.
When so many surrendered dogs are aggressive, the math ain't mathing.

1: Shelters have pit bulls surrendered for aggression because ppl believe "it's all in how you raise them" and dump bitey dogs
2: Shelters adopt no-kill goal (90% release) without doing the math
3: Wait a few years, most shelter dogs are pit bulls with aggression issues
We’d like a dog. Ideally, we would adopt this dog. But is every dog in shelters now a pit bull or pit bull mix? Yeesh.

It's odd how American Bully owners say it's the owners, not the dog, yet their dogs cause the most fatalities.

Predicting aggression in dogs is an academic exercise. The problem isn't a dog's aggression per se - it's whether it results in an attack.
The American Bully attack data is clear, yet RSPCA discussion continually points to an outdated bite study from Tulloch and Westgarth et al.

This dude thinks average people are using the word “worried” when talking about getting “mauled” by dogs. Let me remind you this lady never said she got “mauled” she said the dog “jumped on her and snapped” the dog killer lobby put the word mauled in there to make it something.

Only a few dog breeds in the UK are responsible for the majority of dog attack pet fatalities this year.

The debate on dangerous dogs is not a scientific debate regarding how dangerous a particular breed of dog may be — the data are very clear, especially the medical literature.
The problem of dangerous dogs is of large charities denying scientific reality for convenience.
Those spouting "no dangerous dogs" and "it's the owner not the dog" are the flat earthers of the dog world.
Worse in fact as their anti scientific rigidity has led to numerous deaths and severe life changing injuries.
They are like the doctors who refused to believe in germ

Obligatory viewing for those who want to understand the pit bull lobby - yes, it's real.
They fund scientists to produce papers to "prove" BSL doesn't work, or pit bulls cannot be identified.
The AVMA, Best Friends and others use this in political lobbying and PR campaigns.
This documentary is shocking and shows the extreme denial from owners, and rhetoric about certain breeds being great with children, influencing owners. Two Pitbull's were well trained, socialised dogs who were friendly, until the day they killed a child
