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:
-
Keep it civil.
-
No advocating for violence.
-
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.
-
No pit bull advocate gaslighting. Though good faith debates are allowed.

I am against pit bulls. The tweet is literally in the same format as one of these statments. It's not a good look. It could even be considered a parody? https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/despite-being-only-13-percent-of-the-population
This caught my eye as well. The post definitely has undertones of "Well if you agree with this, wait until your hear about black crime statistics!" as some sort of gotcha. Maybe I'm reading between the lines too much, but since we both noticed it maybe there's something there.
For the record I am against pitbull breeding and ownership, absolutely terrified of them, and would gladly see them banned.
