    4. until 0.01% of them ate the face of a toddler in the house or the neighbor’s kid. “In 2019, of the 48 Americans were killed by dogs, 33 were killed by pit bulls and their mixes, and 13 of the 33 victims were their owner or the owner’s family member.”

  2. 5 reasons why pit bulls are the “worst”
    1.They’ll steal your bed
    2.They’ll lick you too much
    3.They’ll make you too happy
    4.They’ll will love you too much
    5.They are too cute
    I have a pit and she is amazing and loving

    3. Because police are not around much where I live, I’ve been roaming around, and shooting pit bulls when I see them. It’s part of a plan to eliminate them at a high rate. So far, I myself, am at 109 eliminated in just over 4 months. I have a friend who is well over 400 since the start of last year. We will make our streets safe again! 🙏🙌

    4. @Brandon Harting You are a hero we don’t deserve. You probably saved a dozen lives by your acts of kindness. Bless your heart. May all pit bulls go extinct so children can play freely and the elderly can go for walks on the streets without getting mauled.

    3. @x1 I never made a false claim that pit bulls had a stronger bite. Their hold is far more tenacious. I posted an article from the science journal above which stated this specifically is why pit bites cause so much more damage. They grab and shake and will not let go. They were bred specifically to do this. They were bred to fight to the death, to ignore pain, and to love winning. These dogs should only be allowed to live with people who have a permit and part of that permit should be having insurance.

    4. you’re not taking PROPORTIONS into account. ofc german shepherds, golden retrievers and chow chows would be in the “top 3 biters.” these are popular breeds. german shepherds and golden retrievers are registered in the top 5 of AKC registrations yearly. obviously more dogs = more bites statistically. but the proportion of pitbull bites to goldens doesn’t even compare.

  5. The most violent thing about my pitbull is her farts! Her toots are something evil. I still love my velvet hippo more than anything though <3

    2. Although they have the bloodiest rep they also are used in dogfights the most. The owners give up on them, the go around wild and do what they were trained to do.

    5. @King Trawal my pitbull did no harm to anybody on purpose. And the ones she did she was playing and never bleeding or serious. Shut up cause when anybody shoots my dog, lead will hit their skull within milliseconds.

    1. MrMOLONLABE1776 that’s actually incorrect, no dog is born aggressive (to humans or animals) people try and use the excuse that pitbulls have a high prey drive, which is actually incorrect, they have a fight or flight response like we do, and when abused, neglected, or taught to fight other animals, it will most likely cause them to attack other animals thinking it’s a threat, but this has nothing to do with genes, which means 9/10 times we can turn this behavior around and save them.

    2. @Idk Guess Pit bulls were selectively bred to have a high prey drive and be animal aggressive. Cities and towns would be smart to require all pit bulls be in a secure fenced yard or otherwise leashed and muzzled when outside of the home. Those that wish to ban the breed can go that route also. It is unfortunate because they can be very loyal companion dogs but they’re just too dangerous to take the risk.

    3. MrMOLONLABE1776 I’m sorry?? They weren’t bred to have a high prey drive. That’s incorrect. They aren’t aggressive unless taught to be or were abused or neglected. Any dog can be aggressive, the fact that people are discriminating against pitbulls is disgusting, when they aren’t even close to being ranked the most “aggressive” dog.

    4. MrMOLONLABE1776 and you’re probably a responsible owner taking care of your dog and others safe. Others should do the same. Also some dogs are like that because of bad breeding also there’s just bad eggs lmao. Some other dogs can be just as aggressive for no reason. But hey at least you take care of em.

  8. They are high maintenance for affection. And need tons of it . That’s probably why people get rid of them. They want a guard dog to look cool. And find out its a overactive ADD CHILD LOL

    1. @Wildsaver 5820 There’s a guy who is literally going around shooting and killing 100+ pit bulls every 4 months and has a friends who has killed 400+ pit bulls and you choose to attack ME. Jesus Christ. It’s like your brain is not functioning. Why are you pit bull worshipers so stupid, blind, AND pathetic all at the same time? There’s really nothing to discuss with people like you.

    1. @Mr. Mort a gun is safer than a dog…? Actually no… I gun, left untouched, will not pick itself up and shoot you. A pit bull however, is known to be violently erratic…. 🤷🏼‍♂️😏

  11. My heart’s been set on a pitbull for the past five years. Once I get my own place, I’m adopting a pittie, no matter what! They’re the cutest little things ever!

    1. @Callie Kaltreider no thanks. Our long term goal is to have 100,000+ pit bulls eliminated by 2025. We just added 71 people to our coalition, and can easily double that number. 6 more added to the list of kills, today alone.

    4. @john smith
      BRO STOP MY STOMACH HURTS FROM LAUGHING TO MUCH, THese pit bull hate comments aren’t even hate comments anymore they are just funny xD

  13. Had a pit run toward me in a parking lot had gotten out of her owners car. The three guys I was with ran, I sat there she came right to me and rubbed up against me to be pet. Wasn’t scared, they are friendly they just get a bad rep because some owners make them mean. You can make any dog mean. I worry more about a chihuahuas than a pit biting me.

    4. @King Trawal dude. They are good doggies. I have literally been attacked by a chihuahua and every time I meet a pit bull the worst damage they did was loving me too much. BAN BAD PEOPLE NOT GOOD DOGS.

    2. @Nermal Jamslow What excuse will we hear from the Pitbull owners now? Each time there’s an attack or death, they claim Chihuahua’s are more dangerous than Pits.

    3. @Martin Rodriguez sounds more like your dog caught a parasite in their brain than anything. You’re gonna judge a whole breed off of your one dog experience? This is exactly what Zak is talking about

    5. @Shurgler Pits start out bad. They were bred for fighting and no manner of training or condition will ever take away from their instinct to do so. Pits are a threat to people (including their owners) and other dogs. You’ll always find a Pit owner who will describe their mutt as friendly, but that does not account for all the unprovoked attacks on the public. But then, Pits are the working mans class of pet and the owners were never known for their brains. Minimum wage jobs, smoke, spit on the sidewalk and scaring children with their dog is what they’re into.

  15. I rescued a stray american bulldog (aka pit bull) from the streets of a rough neighborhood. He is the sweetest dog I have ever known. His name is Tater. I can’t imagine how he wound up homeless, but it was a blessing for both of us. That’s Tater in my avatar.

    1. Because police are not around much where I live, I’ve been roaming around, and shooting pit bulls when I see them. It’s part of a plan to eliminate them at a high rate. So far, I myself, am at 109 eliminated in just over 4 months. I have a friend who is well over 400 since the start of last year. We will make our streets safe again! 🙏🙌

    2. @Brandon Harting You are a hero we don’t deserve. You probably saved a dozen lives by your acts of kindness. Bless your heart. May all pit bulls go extinct so children can play freely and the elderly can go for walks on the streets without getting mauled.

    3. @Rezi D, lol.
      The following infographic shows that the Pit Bull is still responsible for the most fatal attacks in the U.S. by far, killing 284 people over that 13-year period – 66 percent of total fatalities. That’s despite the breed accounting for just 6.5% of the total U.S. dog population. There is evidence to suggest that owners of vicious dogs are far more likely to have criminal convictions for violent crimes which may go some way towards explaining the Pit Bull’s disproportionate rate of fatal attacks. 
      Its the human that teaches these difs to be aggressive, they are not naturally aggressive. Lol. My own put bull has been a mom for orphan kittens and loves cats. Ive had her for 10 years. She has never been aggressive. Smfh.

    4. @MohawkSquirrel the problem is that she is kinda right if the parent particularly the mom is aggressive she might teach it to her puppies so dog fighter do it on purpose to keep their aggressive behaviour but sometimes sell it to stupid people who want their aggressive behaviour.

  17. Having several different pitbulls throughout my life I can say that the one big issue all of them had in common is that they saw themselves as small lap dogs

    4. @King Trawal

      I know your prob getting a lot of hate from this comment but it’s fricken so funny bro pitbulls are not a bad breed but your comment light made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  19. I’ve had my Pittie for 2 weeks now. He’s 11 weeks old and has been the sweetest dog ever! Only dog I’ve ever been bitten by was a wiener dog lol 😂
