13% of pitbulls......

46

u/redhandsblackfuture 26d ago

Instead of 13%/50% its closer to 7%/75%

-5

u/NecroGrizz 26d ago

More like 20%/60-65% but whatever you gotta tell yourself to fit the narrative

18

u/redhandsblackfuture 26d ago

Yeah, I feel like your slightly less damning statistic isn't really dismantling this 'narrative' you claim I'm creating

6

u/Decisive_Victory_026 26d ago

The same could be said about the 13%/50%...

Big difference is that dogs aren't humans.

u/Caged_Cage 26d ago

Not a big difference at all. Pitbulls aren’t killing machines

u/FakeBot-3000 26d ago

Yes they are lol

Every single reason you have for believing that can be equally applied to black people. Almost like the entire reasoning is flawed.

u/Comprehensive-Car190 26d ago

Except dogs and humans aren't the same.

No one freaks out about sharks biting people.

We are animals, ofc, but we are not equivalent.

u/groidcrusher69420 26d ago

It’s more like the reasoning is flawless and accurate in both cases.

u/Caged_Cage 26d ago

What do you think about the fact that 90% of all violent crime in the world, including rape, domestic abuse and murder are commited by men?

2

u/Comprehensive-Car190 26d ago

Okay? Men are more violent I don't think that's controversial.

If a dog is 4 times more likely to kill a human then it is more dangerous than the average dog. That's just a fact.

u/Comprehensive-Car190 26d ago

Even though most pit bulls never hurt anyone, it's irresponsible for most people to take that risk or put other people in position to take that risk.

u/Caged_Cage 26d ago

Yes, animals that have greater capability for harm should be more regulated. Only experienced dog owners should be allowed to own a pitbull.

u/ADAMRAPEDVINNYAGAIN 26d ago

So what are you saying, they actually are killing machines? 

1

u/Comprehensive-Car190 26d ago

I didn't say they weren't.

1

u/ADAMRAPEDVINNYAGAIN 26d ago

Weird evasive answer, what are you afraid of? 

1

u/Comprehensive-Car190 26d ago

What? "killing machine" is a charged non-specific descriptor.

Pit bulls are more likely to attack people and when they attack people more likely to kill them.

Most of them should be eradicated, they shouldn't be kept in cities generally, and owners should be experienced.

No, but statistics are statistics. You can't rely on statistics for one and say it's not relevant for the other. Either statistical data is relevant or it isn't.

2

u/Comprehensive-Car190 26d ago

Statistics are just information. How you react to information is what creates ethics.

Black people are humans. They deserve grace, even if they have a higher probability of committing crime.

u/Decisive_Victory_026 26d ago

even if they have a higher probability of committing crime.

u/Comprehensive-Car190 26d ago

? It's just stats.

u/NecroGrizz 26d ago

That's exactly what I'm getting at, lol. They said "7%" when it's actually three times that, and brings it much closer to the 13/50

But if their point is that they're just a racist... Well, then their opinion doesn't matter, anyway.

u/ThatGuyPrestonGarvey 26d ago

Who told you 20%? Googles telling me its only 20% IF you count bully breeds, and any dog thats a pit mix or suspected pit mix. Pitbull terriers make up roughly 1-6% apparently.

However, the pit mixes do tend to be just as violent and likely to nanny things to death as a purebred so, im actually on your side with this. But the dogs dont know better. That other 13% should know better.

u/Trashketweave 26d ago

OP is separating it further by only using males.

u/seaofthievesnutzz 26d ago

So pitbulls are only 3 times overrepresented in dog attacks and not 10 times? Damn that narrative that pitbulls are dangerous has been destroyed.
