Ban PitBulls

Dog bite severity varies by the breed of dog, and studies have found that pit bull–type dogs have both a high rate of reported bites and a high rate of severe injuries, compared to other non–pit bull–type dogs.

Pit bull–type dogs are extensively used in the United States for dogfighting, a practice that has continued despite being outlawed. Several nations and jurisdictions restrict the ownership of pit bull–type dogs through breed-specific legislation.

Rules:

  1. Keep it civil.

  2. No advocating for violence.

  3. The sole goal for this comm is to ban pit bulls from every jurisdiction and to treat the remaining ones with respect while every caretaker follows the required safety precautions to keep everyone safe. Dog breeds with documented health issues should also be stopped from being forcibly bred into this world.

  4. No pit bull advocate gaslighting. Though good faith debates are allowed.

Dogsbite.org is routinely slandered by the pro-pit lobby, but the site is informative and its data collection procedures are transparent and well-documented.

I'd rather people can advocate for what they think is right. I don't see how this is much different from the gun debate. Some animals simply shouldn't be pets, we don't allow all kinds of cats either.

No need to call people trolls just cuz you disagree
