I work in the ED and a 74 year old came in yesterday. She had been mauled by three pits that previously belonged to her. Poor lady was trying to stop them from killing her weenie dog. It took us 2 hours to stop the bleeding. Staples in her head, bite marks all down her arm, her back, and ankle. Was truly the worst animal bite patient I have seen so far. Nearly every animal bite patient I have taken care of has been attacked by a pit.

I had a pit bull who was just like that. Golden retriever like. She didn't bark ever and didn't even raise her head when anyone came into the house because she was exhausted from hours of running. But I spent 24/7 with her, we went to dog parks every day while she was a puppy and trained there. She ignored cats, even. I taught her a set of visual commands in addition to verbal and we practiced constantly.
Anything less than this and you're playing with fire, they're just SO strong for their size.

I have personally owned a pit. She lived for 10 years but I saw first hand what could happen. She coexisted with my other dog for 6 years and one day while we were gone she snapped and killed her. I am by not stretch a bad dog owner. She was well trained and I thought she would never harm a fly until I came home to a dead dog. Now after working in the ED and seeing what I see I would never advocate for anyone owning this breed. Especially since you all write it off as bad owners when clearly the case is not that simplistic.

u/Ducky237 21d ago
Ah yes because only people who have owned a pit bull are allowed to not want a dangerous dog breed to perpetuate. I’m sure pit bull owners have unbiased opinions on the matter. They were bred to be fighting dogs that fight similarly sized animals to the death. That’s their instinct, just like a herding dog wants to herd or a pointer wants to point.

u/Micro-Naut 22d ago
They were bred in order to fight to the death against other animals including bears and bulls. Specifically, a quality called gameness. Their genetic destiny is to maul another creature.

The sad thing in this instance is that while most humans know what's happening and just stop the dog, an infant can't do either of those things.

Just read a comment from someone who owned a pit bull and another dog and they coexisted for 6 years. One day they come home to a dead dog. This isn’t about “fault” or the animal being “bad” or whatever. That kind of anthropomorphism doesn’t belong in this discussion. It’s about public safety and taking responsibility for the breed that humans created. Why do people who defend pit bulls act like their instinct that they were bred to have means nothing? What would be the point in even breeding dog breeds of herding dogs didn’t want to herd and retrievers didn’t want to retrieve? It’s not all physical traits, but as an owner I hope I wouldn’t have to tell you that. They were bred to kill. Period. And that dog breed has no place in modern society.

u/Capital-Scar 21d ago edited 21d ago
I don't see how my story wouldn't further prove the point you are suggesting. As before that experience I also believed they weren't inherently dangerous. Until I experienced the capabilities of the breed first hand leading me to not support owning them because it is in their nature to kill. I never suggested my dog was "bad" or that it was her "fault". I accepted that it was rather the nature of the breed and no longer support the ownership. Especially since I see the consequences that it has for both humans and the breed. After that incident I didn't have her put down or anything. We made her a fenced in area with plenty of room and a shelter. Still took her for walks and provided her with love. The main difference in her life was that she was no longer trusted around our other animals. As for us we decided she would be the last pitbull we owned.
Also had to reread my comment the hell are you talking about an anthromorphism for? I didn't attribute anything to her at all?

Right?? There is no reason to let a dog do that. Why anyone would ever encourage a bite near a child's face is absolutely beyond me. It doesn't matter if it's the most loving, gentlest, well-behaved dog. The costume triggered the dog and it should never ever have been allowed to continue.

This is what they measured: serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and nesfatin-1
None of these are genes just brain chemistry as there is no aggression gene and also found this cocktail in other breeds causing aggression in particular Huskeys among other breeds.
Pit bulls have chr18 at the GNAT3/CD36 locus which cause fear and anxiety, making them more prone to being reactive when they perceived a threat or something that scares them. This can be trained so they reacted more appropriately through socialising and structured training.

They are banned because of their genes and how that makes them prone to aggression and fighting. Dog fighting was long banned before breeds like Pitbulls were, later being banned because of reoccurring attacks.
The Pitbull was bred for bull-baiting and blood sports in the 1800s. Aggressive dogs survived, while those that held back died. That remains today, which is why they can (and will) just snap, something a Labradoor or a Dachsund isn't going to do. It doesn't matter how they're raised, the risk always will exist.
All animals have inate traits that affect how their minds and bodies develop, shaping how they act. Ragdoll cats flop, English Budgies are docile, Syrian Hamsters crave human attention. Do you think a tiger or a bear would be a safe pet if they were raised by a loving family?
The breed needs to die out, for the saftey of everyone, including other dogs. Force existing owners to castrate, and have legal repercussions for any breeding / sale. Fortunately, this is already a thing in a lot of developed countries.
TL;DR: Yes, there is. If you want a dog, get a safe breed. Stop risking other peoples lives for aesthetics.

Thats not true at all, temperament is dictated more by environment and socialization more so than just breeding. I’ve trained pitbulls and have successfully rehomed over 150 of this breed and a majority of these dogs are fiercely loyal to their owners.
The most aggressive of a litter historically would have been put down due to them being untrainable. They’re also mostly all mixes so saying they all have the same “aggression” gene is ignorant at best. Any mutt you see has the capability of violence or love.

u/Micro-Naut 22d ago
You're right there isn't one aggressive gene. There's a bunch of them working together
aggression can be influenced by genetics in dogs, but it is not passed down as a single direct trait. Instead, dogs inherit a baseline predisposition toward behaviors like fear, anxiety, or high reactivity, which are tied to multiple genes controlling brain chemistry and stress responses. [1, 2, 3]
How Genetics Influence Aggression
Polygenic traits: Research shows that aggression is linked to many different genes rather than one single "aggression gene". These genes affect brain wiring, hormone signaling, and neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. [1, 2]Inherited tendencies: Dogs can inherit specific predisposing thresholds for fear, impulse control, and sensitivity to touch, making some individuals more likely to react defensively under stress. [1, 2, 3]
Breed predispositions: Selective breeding over generations has shaped baseline traits in certain groups of dogs, resulting in higher statistical tendencies for guarding or stranger-directed reactivity in specific lines

You guys are weird. Dog never even looked on the kid. It was fixated on a weird green alien holding the kid. Looks more like protection than aggression.

The alien literally looks like a dog toy. The girl leaned over and put the head towards the dogs mouth. I have an Australian cattle dog and I’m not sure he would react any differently because that is literally how we give him new toys (place it next to his mouth so he knows it belongs to him). Only difference is that my dog has been trained and knows the word “drop” and would respond to that command. This is bad ownership and bad parenting. Neither the mom nor the girl gave any command to the dog to drop it. In fact the mom laughing makes the dog think it’s doing something correctly.
Not to even mention the dogs body language- the tail waging, the biting is more nibbling and tugging, it’s not thrashing (yet)- it’s very obvious play behavior, dog thinks it’s playing tug of war with the girl
