bully positive zone
Tumblr media
pretty sure op turned off reblogs literally as i was researching & typing this so, making my own post:
some facts about pit bulls / similar bully breeds!
pit bulls account for about 1/3 of studied dog bites
they are also very common dogs and much more likely to be abused and neglected than other dog breeds
84% of violent incidents involve a dog that was abused or neglected
94% of violent incidents involve a dog that was an intact male, which experience significantly more aggression than neutered males
the breed standard temperament is confident, excited, eager to please, and extremely friendly toward humans, and the only ''typical'' aggression is against other dogs (which can be avoided with proper socialization). it is not normal for pit bulls to be aggressive toward humans
they are much less likely to be adopted, spending an average of 3x as long in shelters as other dog breeds, and are much more likely to be euthanized than other dog breeds. they are considered undesirable due to public stigma
(sources: 1, 2, 3, 4)
in this house we love bully breeds and hate stigma <3

{not my video.} this. is NOT cute. or funny. at. all.
parents, either control your kids or put them on a leash if you can’t. I’m serious. you think it’s okay to let your kid go and just hit an animal like this??? it’s not. and you know what angers me even more than seeing your child abuse an animal? that if this poor dog were to rightfully defend himself and attack, because some random brat kept hitting him, he’d get put to sleep. and if this were the case here, I wouldn’t feel sorry for the damn kid, but I’d feel sorry for this beautiful, well-behaved animal. and I’m mad because it’d happened before, again and again, where a parent failed to teach their child to behave and said child went to abuse a dog and then the dog defended himself and attacked, and the one that got put down was the dog when all he did was defend himself from some brat who. attacked. him. first.
I’m glad this isn’t the case in this specific video because it would break my heart to see another good boy (the dog) get put down because of a brat and its parents who failed to keep their goddamn child from being an animal abuser.
this. is. not. okay.
the one that should be on a leash in this case is not the dog.
I’m not even sorry if I’m being rude here. it’s not okay for you as a parent to let your child hit an animal like this and think it’s oh-so cute then if said animal were to defend themself and attack back, they would be seen as an ‘aggressive animal’ and got put down.
if I see your child do this to my dog — or any other animal — believe me I will not stand by and do nothing.
either teach your kids to be kind and respectful to animals or put them on a leash if you can’t. or, better, use a condom.

First it was the Bloodhound, sensationalized in the dramatizations of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Then it was the Doberman, symbol of the Nazi menace. Today, it is the Pit bull that is vilified for the depravity of his masters. Today, police chase down fleeing Pit bulls in the street, firing dozens of wild shots in response to media-fed rumors of supernatural Pit bull abilities. Politicians coach and nurture this fear with their own brand of rhetoric used to assist in the passing of quick and ineffective legislation created to pacify communities ignorant of the real cause for dog attacks. Hundreds of animal shelters throughout the country kill all unclaimed Pit bull-looking dogs, as they are deemed "unadoptable" solely on their physical appearance. This has occurred because the human/dog bond, the most complex and profound inter-species relationship in the history of mankind, has been reduced to a simple axiom: Breed of dog = degree of dangerousness. We have come to accept that hanging entire breeds of dogs in effigy for the sins of their owners is an acceptable solution to canine aggression because we have been placated by a Pit Bull Placebo. Like the pharmacologically inactive sugar pill dispensed to pacify a patient who supposes it to be medicine, eradication of the Pit bull is the placebo administered to ease the public's anxiety about dog attacks.

THE RANT IS BACK - BSL (Humans Disappoint Me)
BECAUSE APPARENTLY WE'RE ALSO RACIST TO DOGS.
I'm gonna draw my attention to another big topic right now that has come up over and over again over the past few years. Every single time I hear this kind of thing I wonder if there is actually any hope for the human race.
BSL if you don't know stands for "Breed Specific Legislation" which is as stupid as it sounds. These laws make it hard for dog owners to simply have a specific breed of dog in their home or community.
There many dog breeds right now facing BSL all over the world, but most of them fall under the category of BULLY.
Any Pit breed faces scrutiny from people who know so little about dogs you'd wonder if they ever met one of em in their whole life. You'd wonder if they ever even seen goddamn picture of one.
Tumblr media
There you go. Now you have.
Soooo scary.
Ohhhh the horror.
Get fuckin real.
Every single time I see BSL being discussed or passed, I find it hard to find faith in humanity because we can somehow be racists to ANIMALS. Animals that are supposedly in the category of "Man's Best Friend".
And this is how we'd treat our friends? Putting them down? Making it illegal for them to be outside without a muzzle on? Targeting them by banning them and fearmongering people to see them as lesser dogs?
When you make it practically illegal for your dog be in public or exist - these animals suffer. Their owners fear taking them out in public or even to the vet; so they often suffer from long overlooked medical complications as a result.
Banning a dog breed is entirely impossible anyway. Somewhere in the world, a pit bull exists. Somewhere, a pit bull is having dinner with it's family and the kids are cuddling up on it all safe and warm.
Because let me tell you something.
BREED SPECIFIC LEGISLATION DOES LITERALLY NOTHING YOU FUCKWITS.
There are ACTUAL ways in which you can solve this so called "Safety Problem" if you really wanted to. Because dogs are very malleable animals. THEY LOVE YOU, and they want to make you happy. But they also want to know you love them and care about them, enough to involve them in your lives and train them. They want to know how to be good dogs. They want to learn new things. They're excited when they see humans and want to be the best dog they can be. But if they're mistreated, they take that as a lesson. The get scared, defensive, and angry - they lash out.
The answer to the problem, is not to try to ban or eradicate a specific breed in order to "feel safer". The answer is to just treat them like normal dogs that you would train with positive reinforcement. Seriously, would you be advocating for BSL if it was any other type of dog?
A husky?
Chihuahua?
Pomeranian?
Golden Retriever?
Poodle?
All of those sound fucking ridiculous right? So why on earth is everyone so pressed about dogs like pit bulls? Is it because they're not as fluffy? Is it because they look different?
It is baffling to me that yet again, the topic of BSL has come up. Because of the XL Bully Breed Ban in the UK. I'm disappointed in the UK for like, a lot of reasons. They're role in Genocide being a big part of it. But this is one of those somewhat smaller stories that for me contextualizes their behaviors towards other humans.
Because what could these poor dogs have possibly done to you that was purely out of malice? Dogs typically don't "attack" humans unless they're afraid for their life or protecting themselves and their boundaries. So the question I guess I should really be asking is ... WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO THEM?
Build houses. Feed the poor. Withdraw all your support for genocide. Do something actually constructive with your time.
But for fucks sake - leave the goddamn dogs alone.
Sincerely, one very angry Iowan.
