Pathetic whiners. |

When all it takes to do this is existing, sure. I take pleasure in existing and minding my own damn business. If that scares you, it's a you problem. |

Existing so calmly and quietly that no one even knew you existed the entire time. Definitely something everyone should be complaining and making such a big fuss about

It just seems weird to think: I want a dog..I know, I’m going to buy that kind that’s always in the news for killing small children and is banned in many countries and cities. I have to think the owners enjoy making people uncomfortable. It’s a personality type for sure! |

You... believe the news? About dogs? I barely believe the news about anything, especially not things that generate clickbait revenue. If you want to drink the kool-aid, go ahead. And if it makes you more likely to leave me and mine alone, so much the better. I don't want to have to deal with your delusions; just let me mind my business in peace. Be as scared as you need to be to leave me alone! |

Judging people minding their business is a personality type for sure! The dog owner in this (trollfic) story was simply existing on a plane, and OP didn't even know it for the entire flight. Your ridiculous position doesn't even hold for a troll thread, let alone reality. People judging "pit bulls" and their owners like OP/this thread are the ones with the personality problems. Making baseless assumptions and projecting their fears and biases onto strangers who are simply existing peaceably sounds diagnosable. |

Your logic is flawed. Dog is trained. It was quiet and nothing happened. You know whst is dangerous? Your feeble brain. |

Many service dogs are trained by either trainers who do this work privately, or by the handlers themselves. ADA is very clear that a dog trained by it's own handler is no less a service dog than a dog trained by an organization like Guide Dogs of America. So, why do people end up training their own pit bulls rather than getting a lab through an organization? First of all, dogs trained by organizations are very expensive, and have long wait lists. People with disabilities often experience unemployment and underemployment in this country. Having a disability can also add extra expenses on top of that. So, people seek less expensive options. Service dog organizations can also have long wait lists, so people see faster options. Why do they get pit bulls? Many people are committed to rescuing dogs that are otherwise at risk, and many of the dogs in need in this country are pits or pit mixes. Other people might choose a pit bull because they need a dog with a lot of strength for the size, for example for people who need dogs who help them with balance, or break falls, or pull wheelchairs. Pits are known as particularly loyal and affectionate dogs, and someone may want a dog that's particularly loyal and affectionate as a psychiatric service dog. And some people get a dog thinking that it will be a pet, and then realize the dog is very good at something that can be turned into a service. So, they might notice that their dog behaves in a certain way right before they have seizures and want to train the dog to alert to seizures. Or they might notice that the dog instinctually gives a kind of pressure that is help for interrupting panic attacks, and train the dog to do that on cue. |

Dude, I went to war 3 times in 7 years over 9/11. I’ve earned the right to make jokes about it. |

Here is the link to the Epilepsy Foundation, a highly rated organization that provides education and advocacy for and about people with epilepsy on seizure dogs, a common type of service dogs.
You will note the first picture on this page is a pit mix. https://www.epilepsy.com/recognition/seizure-dogs#What-is-a-seizure-dog? |

This is silly. Why do you only count *fatal* attacks? An attack doesn't have to be fatal to be dangerous. I don't want to be bitten even if I survive. And I don't want my children bitten. And yes, we lived with a pit bull growing up. I know better than to have one now. I do think that we need to do a better job of banning breeders and reducing the pit population. |

the "service dog" thing is such a farce. The vast majority of "service dogs" that I've seen are not trained and provide no service other than to meet dog owners selfish needs. I have two friends with "service dogs". One is a chihuahua (a blind one) and the other a beagle. Both have notes from doctors stating that the dog helps to calm the owners' anxiety and provides a needed medical service. Neither friend suffers from any serious mental issues. So yeah, not buying the "service animal" BS |

+1 These are not safe animals. And I love dogs. To the pit-defenders, please just stop. Our family will never be the same after nearly losing our dog to an unprovoked pit attack. I’d be requesting a seat change and refund immediately. |
