Two 8-month-old pit bulls that were loose in Nanaimo attacked several children, severely injuring at least one. Other people that came to aid the children were also injured.

The children were playing in a yard at the house of one of their friends. The dogs were from somewhere else in the neighborhood and had been cited for being at large previously.

One of the owners of the dogs came and got the dogs but did not stick around. The news interviewed the other owner, a Dangerhair that looked to be in her late 40s or early 50s. While she was devastated at what her dogs had done, she said to the reporter, "People are saying, look at this from the prospective of a parent, well, these dogs are my kids, too," and then she broke down crying.

It was later reported both dogs were euthanized, as there have been other incidents prior to this one, and due to the severity of the injuries the one particular child sustained.

To the dangerhair dog owner I would have to say, "If these dogs were your KIDS, you did a lousy job of raising them. Thank heavens you didn't spawn any of your own."

My transpieces dog

but back on topic, now that pet shops are banned in some states, breeders are hard to come by thus expensive and the shelters are 99 percent pitbulls do you think we’ll see a decrease in dog ownership?

It's definitely possible, but I expect it'll be a slow process over the span of decades. It'll take time for America's frankly insane dog culture to begin faltering even under heavy pressure.

Dogs like Labradors and Golden Retrievers- friendly, energetic dogs- are the reason we have dog culture. They're good, loyal family dogs. Shitbulls and their defenders coopted the culture, demanding Maully the Baby Biter get the same treatment as a happy Golden Retriever.

If you want a specific type of dog there are a lot of adoption and rehoming efforts through their breed organizations or just on an individual level. I know someone who does that for a certain breed and it's the kind of thing you have to network for. Which can be annoying. But it's something you can look into if shelters don't have anything and you don't want to buy one as a puppy. It's also one of the reasons such dogs don't always end up in shelters, they're already taken care of through private rehoming efforts.

Honestly, a lot of rehoming happens on your neighborhood Facebook/nextdoor/workplace/whatever. If it’s a good pet that people love and they have to give it up, they usually want to give it to someone they at least sort of know and disrupt its life as little as possible by keeping it in the same area/lifestyle.

If it’s a worthless shitbull that just ate your cat, well, you’re dumping that piece of trash off at the shelter.

If it's a dog from a good breeder, dropping them off at a shelter can actually get you in legal trouble because good breeders usually have a contract that forbids that.

Why is that? Something to do with the reputation of the breeder?

 

[ExsanguinateHorizon]

Pretty convinced virtually all pit breeders are sexual zoosadists too. It's uniquely pits I almost never see neutered and their breeders love forcing too young females to breed, don't let them rest between litters and jizz themselves describing and planning severe incest. The pain and death of puppies mauled by their gamebred littermates and even mothers is nothing but an inconvenience to their bottom line. They're incredibly sick trash like the million monkey groups.

No, I think it's because they don't want to see the dogs they worked so hard on to get dumped and for the love of the breed. Plus they (likely) spent all of that time trying to vet the owner to make sure the dog is going to a good home and at a shelter they can't do that.

The way they also talk about coat colors reminds me of the way snake breeders talk about color morphs. Especially about the merle colors.

It's unfortunate some of the most interesting colors in animals comes at the cost of their health, but is it surprising? A spontaneous mutation is going to start out with a very narrow gene pool and unethical breeders want immediate results that breed true, so they'll commit crimes against nature. At least more people are becoming aware that a cool coat color isn't worth it, but the cruel breeding practices of pit circles seem stronger than ever.

Pet stores banned in some states? Like Petco? Never heard of this.

I'm also confused by this. Every single chain pet store I've been to only has cats available for adoption on behalf of the local shelter or humane society. Often they will have a room where they can roam periodically behind a large glass window and potential adopters can play with them (PetSmart). I have only ever known dog breeders to operate out of their own homes.

There is one private-owned pet store in my area and they don't have dogs or cats. They don't have many animals at all (mostly reptiles and fish).

 

[Cun75p4rkl35]

Your cat is super cute. Yay for kitty adoptions!

No, I suspect we'll see more pit owners getting mauled because ~adopt don't shop~ has been so successful that more people who would never normally adopt a pit will do so because that's all their is.

Better them than me

From the SMASHED and SLAMMED thread it's it's always interesting to see what 'features' they select for, often it's the super exaggerated bully traits like big blocky heads that are almost too big for the dog to hold up, neck humps, bowed legs that are almost pigeon-toed. Even the poor Spynx cats they SMASHED and SLAMMED they try to instill these ridiculous-looking 'bully' traits.

At this point I'm surprised they don't try to have cosmetic surgery done on themselves to get 'bully' traits.

The tiny white woman getting massive, vicious pitbulls "because they keep me safe!" (which thankfully occasionally ends with them being nannied by their own dog instead of an innocent animal or other person) is always the one that bothers me the most.

You can't psychologically control a pitbull. It would be like insisting on carrying a defective gun that can accidentally fire in a random direction in your purse for self defense.

I have a friend who still lives with his deranged parents. They insisted on adopting this dog from states away that appeared to be a pit-GS-motherfucking-Rhodesian-Ridgeback mix. The thing is absolutely terrifying, and constantly pulls hard on its lead in its desire to chase and kill all types of woodland creatures and neighborhood children. But they've had this dog for 10 years and its never hurt anything yet. Why? Because my friend is a good person, so he never takes it to dog parks, crosses the street if he's walking the dog to ensure it never gets near people or other dogs, he always locks it in a well armored crate if he has to leave it alone at home (which he avoids at all costs), he got the backyard completely fenced in and reinforced, and he ensures he is the only person who walks the dog, since he's 6'2" and 275 pounds, and is willing to sacrifice his shoulder sockets for the sake of making sure this dog never hurts anyone or anything.

That's the level of effort and sacrifice it takes. A tiny woman cannot physically control a shitbull, and physical control is the only thing that works on them. They're ticking timebombs, and yet so many people insist that a jar of nitroglycerin is the best self-defense weapon, and that everyone "gives it a bad rep".

 

[Mechanical Pencil]

If I ran a shelter or rescue I would refuse to release large breeds of any type until the would be adopter, before my very eyes, lifts the equivalent of the animals weight (or the estimated adult weight of the animal if not mature) and squat it for a minimum of ten reps. Can't squat the dogs weight, no adoption for you. Get swole and come back later or get a dog you can physically handle.

”Welcome to my shelter, please wipe the squat rack down when you're finished."

I think they mean small, shady pet stores that sell animals without any vetting. Not fish, lizards, small rodents and small birds, but rabbits and parrots, puppies and kittens, because those come from puppy mills or just irresponsible breeders. They're often also full of diseases like parvo, because they don't care about things like that.

Chain stores work with rescue organizations and presumably have rules about the cats being healthy, fixed, given vaccinations. The rescues also do some vetting, the one time we adopted from a store the vetting was just a phone call: do you have other pets, etc.

Pit mommies look at this post and think this dog is salvageable, plus it’s horrifically funny they picked this as the cutest picture.
That dog looks like a demon and it’s already half snarling, that’s a mouth made for eating smaller animals and ripping off limbs.

This dog is about to bite the person taking its picture.

I would recommend buy dogs from an AKC breeder or other breeder who can assure you the dogs don't have shitbull blood.

Hmm, I give it five eight months before it's back in a shelter.

Assuming it beats those odds though, a year to a year and a half before it mauls the twat that saved it's worthless hide.

It's going to kill one of her other pets (hopefully not another person like a child or partner) in a week and she's going to panic post "what can i do??!?! If I report it poor bella will DIE!" and we will laugh and congratulate ourselves for not inviting dogs like this into our homes (anymore.)

The pet store ban is for dogs and cats. It's still legal to sell small cage mammals, herps, insects, and fish.
I saw one pet shop like this in New York circa 2011. It was trying to sell puppies for thousands of dollars each. (4-7k depending.) They weren't pits IIRC, they were purebred puppies or designer mixes, but they weren't well-bred, they were puppy mill specimens, you could get similar animals for way cheaper from a breeder. They were unhealthy from the start, never vaccinated, and then put into congregate care settings like the sales floor where they could get ill really fast. This same pet store chain faced lawsuits for selling people moribund puppies for ginormous sums on payment plans and then expecting them to make good when the puppy died 7 days into ownership.

Adoption rooms on behalf of local animal shelters avoids the ban because animals aren't being sold, they're adopted and the adoption fee goes to the shelter not the pet shop. So the shop is basically letting them take up space on the floor to do adoption work, in order to sell more pet supplies.

...the problem with this is shelter scalping.

These rescue groups will somehow catch wind of their breed ending up in a shelter and swoop
in to take the dog off their hands (because space and resources, of course). Then breed-specific rescues will end up charging out the ass for adoption fees and have ridiculously strict adoption requirements. I’ve even heard of rescue groups (breed-specific or otherwise) basically claiming you never truly own the dog and they have the right to come to your house at any time in the future post-adoption to make sure the dog is OK. Breed-specific rescues also get their “merchandise” from rehoming posts on social media so they never see the doors of a shelter.

Not all of them are insidious like this of course but it is something you have to watch out for.

I have a family member who owns a pitbull. They somewhat recently had knee surgery on both knees completed.
They were in a grocery store parking lot and fell because of handling the pitbull while being wobbly from the healing process still being quite fresh. They ended up breaking their wrist from bracing the fall on it.
Nobody would help her since the shitbull was there. Several people explicitly told her this as she struggled to get her footing. Can't say I blame the multitude of strangers not wanting to get involved, but I can blame that stupid fucking dog for being a burden on my family.

You should just as well blame your family member for having a toddler mauler

This is another thing that these pitbull owners never considered before getting these dogs, is that these pitbulls they get to look 'tough' or to 'protect' them also means few people are going to want to get near enough to help unless it's a life or death situation, out of a fear of possibly getting mauled by the dog.
