Nice use of “gormless” 👏

The gen xer in me says “hell yeah” but the millennial in me says “Skinamarink vibes”

So, like, you’re wrong, but there’s a lot of nuance here.

1. Pitbulls, if raised well, can be some of the sweetest and most sociable dogs around.
2. They’re still bred for fighting and violence and no matter how friendly a pitbull is, the owners still need to be very careful around strangers, kids, and unfamiliar dogs.
3. In the end, humans made pitbulls, and I think that gives us a responsibility to both take care of the pitbulls that exist and also not breed any more. Like a lot of dog breeds, humans have bred them to be miserable or dangerous for petty, dumb and selfish purposes. Maybe the smartest and most compassionate thing to do is to let the breeds expire while making sure the living are as happy, healthy and safe as possible.

I don’t think a backyard breeder would say “well, crap, the shelter can’t take older pitties, guess I won’t breed them.” They’re probably in it for money and clout, and they’ll find a way to get rid of unwanted dogs one way or another.

Fair. It isn’t something you learn until you sign up unfortunately :( It is free to sign up on another instance, at least

Yep, them’s the ones

Which instances are the Tankie Triad? lemmy.ml, and two others? Don’t engage in politics with people from those instances, I think

Forrest is an absolute gem of a person <3

That comment is hilarious considering the content of the video. What a conspiracy theorist
