Retrievers are bred to retrieve, Australian shepherds are bred to herd, pit bulls are bred to fight and kill. It’s not an owner issue. It’s a nature issue 🤷🏼♀️ https://t.co/jFXJZr4OqQ

“Pit bulls make up only 6% of the dog population, but they’re responsible for 68% of dog attacks and 52% of dog-related deaths since 1982.”
No, it’s not an owner issue. Lots of dogs are mistreated. Not every kind of dog ends up mauling toddlers. https://t.co/IcIYbDOj7s

“Pitbulls are responsible for the vast majority of fatalities associated with dogs. From 2010 to June 2021, there were 430 fatal dog bites, with 185 of those coming from pit bulls, and another 41 that were pit bull mixes.” https://t.co/uZQSj3FZJw

This woman raised her pit bulls from the time they were puppies, and they mauled her to death while on a walk. Owner issue? https://t.co/wkJK2YjDAQ

This is what happens when you don’t spend enough on pit bull education and everyone is racist against pit bulls.
Instead of talking about so-called “pit bull violence,” we need to start talking about golden retriever privilege.
A Wisconsin mother had her arms ripped apart by a pit bull while saving her 4-year-old son from the dog and later died, kin say.
Heather Pingel, 35, was savagely attacked at her home in Bowler, northwest of Milwaukee, on Dec. 8.
The boy’s father “got home to find her lying on the bathroom floor. She said, ‘I have no arms, and I’m dying,’ ” said Pingel’s sister, Shannon Pingel, to the Wausau Daily Herald.
Pingel’s son, Damion, received 70 stitches to his leg after being bitten by the dog and was later released from the hospital.
She suffered kidney failure and had had both her arms amputated.
The family believes the attack unfolded after Pingel found the dog biting her son. The pitbull likely turned on her as she tried to shield the boy from further injuries, kin said.
Shane Bernarde, Pingel’s boyfriend and the father of the injured boy, returned home to find the dog still attacking the mom in the bathroom.
…
Pingel’s injuries were so severe she was unable to give authorities a full account of what happened before she died.
This has nothing to do with the dog’s breed.
Dog breed is a social construct. There’s only one breed: the dog breed.
That’s science.
Instead of focusing on the few and rare isolated incidents of pit bull violence, we need to focus on root causes, which is the disparity between dog food.
