[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ Here’s an example of what most people find when they try to adopt https://www.humanerescuealliance.org/dogs[/quote] 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. https://www.luckydoganimalrescue.org/adopt/animals https://kninerescue.com/pets/ https://www.lcarescue.org/copy-of-dog-adoption-application https://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/adopt-foster/adopt-a-dog/ https://www.peteyandfurends.org/adoptdogs 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. [/quote] 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] Learn something: https://www.arwob.org/info/file?file=s2148m6372.pdf[/quote] Why are you posting 5 times in a row? [/quote] Not only are you a shitposting troll, you can't even count. [/quote] Oh I see you’ve joined this thread again after taking a fashion break… And you still won’t answer a basic question. Why are rescues full of pits and shouldn’t the focus be on pit owners to solve the issue of too many dogs? Bc there doesn’t seem to be too many dogs to adopt where I am. It’s too many *pits* to adopt and people scramble to find other mixes. [/quote] If this is your pet issue, make a thread about it. Don't try to hide it in the 9 other off-topic points you've raised in this thread. Then, when we give you the exact same answers you've already received more than once, maybe you'll be able to find them. As for people "scrambling to find other mixes" this is the result of ignorance. Pit mixes are fine dogs. Only biased, unintelligent people think otherwise. I would allow for ignorance, but the proof to the contrary is all over multiple threads here and all over the rest of the internet, and some of you stubbornly refuse to evolve when given better information. If this results in a scarcity of dogs for people with poor critical thinking skills and worse knowledge of canine characteristics, well, I can't say I'll be too upset about that. Sorry you're missing out on a great dog because you'd rather cling to your cluelessness.[/quote] If someone doesn’t want a certain breed of dog, they shouldn’t be forced to adopt it. So why aren’t you mad at the pit owners who let their dogs breed and dump them? Curious why your ire isn’t directed there [/quote]
