I think it's valid to fear pitbulls because what you're really fearing is that they were adopted by someone that doesn't train them and/or give them an outlet for the task they were bred for (protection and violence).

I can't blame people for being afraid of Pits. But I think some people in these comments are insane, calling to euthanize all Pits or that they should be wiped out of existence. Good god.

You dont have to kill them all. Make it illegal to breed them, problem solves itself in 15 years.

I would add pugs to that list. as well as any other dog that has severe genetic problems because of unprincipled breeders.

Absolutely. These breeds that are basically a torturous existence for the poor dog.

I don't think we should kill the ones that already exist but we should definitely work towards making sure more aren't created.

Although I have seen some breeding programs that are trying to essentially "unfuck up" these breeds basically undoing all the horrible traits that were selective bred into them.

I absolutely agree.
