it's adorable the people in there saying "go to NPR, go to social media, blow this up!"

most clueless white person thing to think ever. Pigs murder, what, 10,000 dogs a year on average? They're a dog killing factory. why would the bootlicking media give a single ounce of fuck?

    Kill cops not dogs.

    Every time i see pitbull in Poland i know there is a fascist nearby. Literally, they are so integral part of the football hooligan and skinhead subcultures that i never seen anyone else have a pitbull.

    Ok, but doesn’t that reinforce my point that it’s an irresponsible owner problem and not a genetically inherent aggression problem?

    Absolutely, but also explains that people not liking them not automatically make them "dog phrenologists". Correlation does not make causation in this case, but also do not nullify correlation.

    Wrong. Blaming the breed for the owner is fucking mentally lacking.

    I like you, I really do. Most of the time anyway.

    Please read this and do some self crit before posting racist ass shit perpetuating stereotypes about dogs used to advance white supremacist agendas. https://hexbear.net/post/166819

    Also proof eugenics don’t work. I have a Labrador retriever and mixed breed that has multiple types of terrier and some sort of Argentine mastiff knockoff. Looks like a stereotypical “pit”, but according to the test the shelter did is like 7 breeds mixed.

    The retriever has never once chased a thrown object. It’s supposed to be in the name lol. The so called “dangerous fighting dog” loves nothing more than bringing back thrown objects all day if able.

    Yes, eugenics don't work, but that doesn't mean it doesn't affect the breed in one way or another. If some dog breeds have terrible snouts or spines or brittle bones due to failed eugenics, why can't they be affected in other areas? Mutts (the dogs) are generally much healthier, yet they are used by racists to refer to minorities while they want to become like the dogs who can't breathe while gnawing on people mindlessly. And I'm not talking about pitbulls with the latter part, just that this is what they see as perfectionl.

    There was a thread a {couple years back|don't read the comments lmao} about a study in behavior differences between dog breeds. The behaviors that actually reliably differ by breed are:

    • Retrieves objects

    • Howls

    • Avoids getting wet

    • Points

    Which notably doesn't include whatever people keep saying about pitbulls.

    What's that formatting with {|}? First time I'm seeing it. Is there a name for it? Doesn't look like superscript.

    AFAIK it's a very recently implemented feature and as I understand it it's derived from a Japanese script style convention for annotating text with different characters (I think? I'm just inferring from context here).

    RIP sweet girl sadness

    I wish it didn't take dogs being shot for redditors to see how disgustingly evil cops are. You'd think young disabled Black men getting shot would've put us in the same page, but much like the border camps ("Tell a middle aged white lady they're holding puppies in overcrowded cages without feeding them and she'll become a terrorist. Tell her it's hispanic children...") you can't count on anyone having empathy for PoC.

    Meanwhile, what is it that actually makes it to the front page of that shithole copaganda site?

    I hate myself for saying this, but burning such a horrific way to go. I’d temporarily put my hate for cops aside if they saved my dog from that hell.

    Oh definitely. I'd be eternally grateful to any person who saved my best friend from death, even if it weren't such an excruciating one as burning. Whatever cop saved that dog did an undeniably good thing and I didn't mean the comment as a condemnation of that one. Cops in general are actually capable of doing doing good, actually. It just doesn't change the fundamentally evil role they play in a capitalist society nor the fact that on the whole they're prone to doing despicable things as a result of that position... and the sociopathic feedback loop of that role attracting people who want to do despicable things in the first place.

    I was just pointing out that what gets boosted and celebrated on reddit is the copaganda stories. It's the post linked by OP that everyone on reddit should be made aware of, and how common the practice is of cops murdering dogs. Instead, I found it really ironic that literally minutes after seeing this post, the thing I see on reddit's front page with tens of thousands more upvotes is yet another heroic cop story, pretty much the polar opposite of this one.

    I got you, there’s just a contingent of shitheads who would dunk on dog saving. Why DiDnT He SaVe AnOthER AnImAl. As if they aren’t the animal closest to us, well maybe besides pests that rely on an urban environment. Those rely on us even more, arguably at least.

    Most of the cops I encounter on a daily basis are either polite or neutral to everyone around town and on the train (unless the passenger is homeless). Capitalism aside, regardless of how nice or funny or relatable they are to me, it doesn't change the fact that if I was murdered by their colleague just for fun, they would choose to stay silent instead of turning their partner in. The rare instances when cops do have a conscious, they either commit suicide or die in a training accident a few months later.

    this fucker's either bootlicking or brand new

    So a group of police conducted a pre-planned raid at your house without a warrant and shot your dog, due to something your minor brother is into?

    This is ragebait, guaranteed. OP is a liar.

    I wish I had time to drop on them a pile of articles about that exact fucking thing happening. Not that it would affect their "thinking," but I prefer when there's a cited refutation for passersby.

    a sad thought my partner and i had when we got our Belgian malnois:

    at least there's a smaller chance cops would kill her because it would be like killing their own (yes i know they often kill their own)

    lo and behold when they go out cops frequently want to pet her. at the very least it's sort of protection for my partner who otherwise looks very "woke" and the kind of person cops would fuck with
