Does posting an article to this community about an alleged pitbull attack in a community where they're already banned serve the goals of this community?
California state law says the owner is fiscally responsible for the actions of their dog. If there are damages over the small claims threshold it's open and shut.
He claims he was at a friend’s house when a pit bull him in the face.

“I kept trying to find the owner, and then someone on Facebook, because I didn’t know the house I was at at the time, so someone on Facebook told me, like, you know, this is the house,” says Jamison.
So he was at a friends house but he didn’t know where he was. … Riiiiight.
The go fund me has the uncensored photos. Bro got wrecked. I mean kinda shady that he doesn't know where he was, and I know there's likely two sides to this story but man, if he wound up unconscious his airway would have been nightmarish to manage with that amount of trauma.
Ban every breed that is more dangerous than a wild wolf.
For context: a single wild wolf is typically rather shy and not dangerous, except if you provoke them a lot.
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.
