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.

This community currently does not have an active moderator right now. With a recent increase in activity, we are also seeing some reports, and without a mod team those reports are going to the admins. It would be better for this community to have an active mod team to handle those.

Please reply here if you would like to be a moderator!

This community can rot. Ban owners who make dogs evil, not a breed.

No one is saying pit bulls are evil however their breeding over time involved the best traits for dog fighting and yes they’re still being used for that nefarious purpose.

Exactly, we need to start breeding dogs that won't listen to their owners commands!
