Here’s an example of what most people find when they try to adopt

No, pp is an example of someone who doesn't understand the difference between a shelter and a rescue organization and why they're different.

Anybody spot the difference? Do you need me to hold your hand for that (too)?[/quote]

Who cares? Most people just want to adopt a nice dog for their family to care for. They don’t need to be experts on all things related to dog adoption. Why is it so hard and why are almost the only dogs in these places pit mixes? Either they aren’t as sweet and easy as you claim. Or pit owners are extremely irresponsible. Or both.

Ah, I see the problem. You have no idea what a "pit bull" even looks like. I can understand the confusion, as it's an umbrella term covering 5 distinct breeds. And then you add "pit mixes". And then you factor in some stereotyping that says none of the above could ever possibly be "a nice dog for (a) family to care for."

Maybe just get a cat?[/quote]

Look at the post from the rescue posted above. Most people can spot the pit mixes by their jaws and bulk. That’s the issue. They are too strong and powerful and do too much damage when they’re triggered. And every dog has the potential to be triggered. [/quote]

A "triggered" 80 lb lab is as much trouble as my 35-lb staffie mix, if not more. A "triggered" rottie, gsd, gp... If you're not strong enough to handle a big dog, that's one thing. But some of these "pit mixes" aren't as big as a standard lab, nor are their jaws.

Yes, every dog has the potential to be triggered. You either know how to train a dog or you don't. If you can train a dog, you can train a pit bull, because they're just dogs. If you can't train a dog, you'll have an untrained dog which will always be a liability. While I guess it's better that you not have an untrained pit bull, I don't want to encounter your untrained anything else either. People who are going to own a dog, of any breed, need to know how to train and handle their dog. People who can train and handle dogs can handle pit mixes, and even "pit bulls". [/quote]

I think you’re being naive. Of course all dogs can make mistakes and do damage but the point is that pits often have very very strong jaws and can do a lot of damage. They also seem to hang on when they bite in a way that other dogs don’t. There are places and even countries that ban pits. Why do you think that is? [/quote]

They don't all "hang on when they bite", and if you've ever watched a GSD/Malinois "hold", you'd know they do, too. [b]They don't have the highest bite pressure, either: https://topdogtips.com/dogs-strongest-bite-force/[/b]

Why do places ban pits? I can't say for sure, but I have a guess. I live in a country where people are banning "trans" and "woman" and a hundred other completely benign words, so I suspect politics may have something to do with it. Shrill harpies like you get it in their heads that pits need to be banned, even though breed bans don't even work, and the mob gets the torches and pitchforks... voila! Stupid legislation! Same with your incessant "but why are there so many?!" comments. Because there's no license to breed dogs here, and even if there were, there aren't nearly enough animal control officers to enforce it. You don't want to pay for that, and you wouldn't like the way it raises the overall cost of dog ownership.

I mean, I almost hate to point this out, but the reason is, once again, in a word: you.[/quote]

Is this list a joke? Most of the list are dog breeds I’ve never even heard of, and that most people in the US have no risk of adopting.

And yes Rottweiler is on the list. Sure, most people aren’t looking for a Rott as a family pet. But I’ll add, I don’t see them or any of these other breeds in rescues. Almost always just pits. Why is that? You’re really claiming it’s bc of ME? I find that funny [/quote]

You're the sort of clueless idiot who'd probably call 3, 4, 7, and 8 "pit bulls".

You can't take a point, you can't take a hint, you don't learn, you're just here to... what, exactly? what is the end goal of your ongoing trolling?[/quote]
