Mumma, throw the stick! I wants to chase it.

@hesbythecampfire for your daily dose of cuteness? 🐾🤗🤗🤗

pit bull owners are insane no one would ever argue that you can train the herding instinct out of border collies when you "just raise them right with lots of love ❤️ " or that they only show breed specific behaviour when they are abused by their owner. but somehow breed genetics don't apply to pit bulls

It's hard for people who own and love them to accept that their precious pibbles could in fact snap just like so many other peoples beloved pets have done (with devastating consequences), but that doesn't change the fact that they ARE uniquely dangerous due to selective breeding for aggression, gameness (including their pain sensors practically turning off when they're in fight mode-they have no sense of self preservation which is why you'll sometimes see videos of them attacking horses or buffalo. I've seen videos of pits being stabbed over and over and not letting go of the person they're attacking until they're literally dead, NO other breed behaves like this) and other physiological traits (the wide, locking jaw for example, which is nearly impossible to free yourself from).

"It's the owner not the breed" is one of their favorite excuses after the "b-but they were nanny dogs!!1!" lie (no dog should be watching your children for you let alone a fighting breed) but the fact is even beloved family pitbulls will sometimes maul their owners, like that horrid case I linked to-not to mention many shelters unethically obfuscate the background of the pit they're putting up for adoption so that ppl are more likely to adopt them. Many ARE taken from dog fighting rings and they're also more likely to pass temperament tests bc they are designed to test reactivity NOT aggression and pits often won't show warning signs before attacking so they pass even if they aren't fit for adoption. That's another trait that makes them potentially dangerous (and it's the reason I absolutely hate the temperament test shelters use-it sends good dogs to their death for giving warning signs when they're nervous, AS THEY SHOULD, and allows dangerous dogs to be put up for adoption).

But honestly as much as the pit lobby loves to lie and pay for articles to lie for them (seriously, they have DEEP pockets it's unbelievable when you look into it), the stats are there-bully breeds are responsible for over 60% of the fatal dog attacks on humans despite being a small percentage of the population. Not to mention all the non fatal maulings against humans and the killing of other pets (I personally know people who have had their cats and in one case a large dog killed by off leash pits). Bully breeds are outlawed in 40+ countries for a reason. the pattern keeps repeating and people have noticed it.

Arguing with pit mommy types is pointless though. I've seen them blame toddlers and even literal infants for their own maulings bc "well they must have provoked the poor sweetie!!1!" and campaigning to save dogs who have killed people from being euthanized. They are demented and value the lives of pitbulls over people (and other dog breeds too).

Guinea pigs touch noses as a greeting/sign of affection. JD, a 100lbs pittbull, was raised around guinea pigs and thus, touches noses with people he loves

literally out of nowhere my fucking tiktok feed is full of pitbull discourse and I didn’t even click on anything, like I’m actively blocking accounts and filtering words. I’m so sick of this fucking debate. pitbulls don’t exist because they’re fun and cute. the breed was created for violence. I don’t believe dogs are evil because dogs are not capable of a human capacity for what we consider evil. certain dog breeds were bred for violence and still have predispositions for violent/aggressive behaviors and a large majority of people owning these breeds do not understand the breed, how to handle them, or proper dog ownership. you having a good experience with a pitbull does not do away with the countless injuries and fatalities, and unless there’s an effective way to ensure no backyard breeding and owners are properly educated/dogs are properly trained, then there aren’t many ways to lower those numbers outside of limiting/banning the breed to some degree. no, that doesn’t mean the dog is “evil”. this isn’t some debate on whether or not dogs are morally sound, you morons. if you’re not advocating for alternatives you have no right to speak in this discussion.

I honestly think i should redo copia, but have this while i cry over uni work.

Meet Slate! The too-cute big ol’ Hellhound based on my own fur baby. I’m was thinking of creating a “mother” figure for him, but idk if maybe self-insert is too cringey. lol.

Fun fact, my Dog is a pitbull. His name is Blue. And sometimes when I’m mad at him I use his “full name” which is Bluecifer” (Blue-Lucifer)

Slate here is, of course, based on a grey pitbull. He looks tough but is actually a big softie. Get on his bad side though, and well, he’s not afraid to protect his own. His tattoo currently says “XOXO” but I honestly almost made it say “MOM” 😂 Like he’s a big ol’ mamas boy. Big and tough but when mamas around, he’s meek and polite.

You think you want a pitbull huh? Well nobody's gonna actually tell you the horrors of these dogs, they'll act like everything's fine. It. Is. Not. These dogs are not for the weak. They'll take your blankets and guess what. They'll steal em. All for themselves. You ever try to wrestle a blanket from a 60 pound dog? Yeah. These dogs will inflict horrors on you you've never even known. Have you ever been hit by one of their tails? Truly a monstrous dog
