Or, ya know, people could be responsible pet owners.

So can guns.

Hej fra København og jeg tror du har ret

Now hypothetically, if every breed except Chihuahuas was banned, and those tough guys were forced to buy those and not train them.

Do you think there would be more, less or equal amount of dog mauling?

That's exactly how everyone talks about their pitbull until it rips their child to pieces.

Dogs are animals, and no amount of training can make it certain they will not attack, because, as you say, they are individuals. Therefore a well-trained Pitbull remains more dangerous than a well-trained [insert literally any other dog breed here].
I absolutely love dogs, including Pitbulls. I despair at what humans have done with selective breeding, by giving Pugs a lifetime of health problems, Pitbulls a greater chance of being euthanised, greyhounds a brain the size of a pea etc., etc. The right thing to do is to vote with our feet and stop the demand for breeds that shouldn't exist. The real villains here are the people creating pure bred pits for profit.

Dogs aren't individuals. They're animals. You don't need a pitbull. There are plenty of other beautiful breeds like Retrievers/Laboradors or Border collies, etc.

With pitbulls you have to train them specifically not to fight to lower the chances. They shouldn't be available to own to the general public.

Should I go down the list of all the dogs that were specifically bred for being hunting dogs, war dogs, or guard dogs?

That list is absolutely going to be massive and I'm pretty sure it'll feature a number of dogs you'd otherwise consider lovable family dogs.

We're probably going to be left with a handful of breeds meant for puffed up rich floozies that suffer from amalgamated sinus cavities.

Why are you comparing Jewish people to dogs????? That's a bit antisemetic

Stereotypes about groups of humans are politically motivated. Not true of dog breeds.

Did you finish the season?

It does. See https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9679229/

We compared behavioural tendencies between 8 breeds that are subject to legislation in at least one country and 17 breeds that are not subject to legislation using two validated psychometric tools: the Dog Impulsivity Assessment Scale (DIAS), which scores elements of impulsivity, including a tendency for aggressive behaviour, and Positive and Negative Activation Scale (PANAS), which scores sensitivity to positive and negative stimuli (which may trigger aggressive responses). We found that the two groups of breeds do not differ significantly in the specific DIAS factor relating to aggressive behaviour, “Aggression Threshold and Response to Novelty”, or any other DIAS and PANAS factors. We found large variations in all behavioural tendencies measured by both psychometric scales within both groups and within each breed studied. Taken together, our findings indicate that breed alone is not a reliable predictor of individual behavioural tendencies, including those related to aggression, and therefore breed‐specific legislation is unlikely to be an effective instrument for reducing risk.

Accordingly, a recent genomic study showed that although most canine behavioural traits have relatively high heritability (h2 > 0.25), breed explained only 9% of behavioural variation among individuals (Morrill et al., 2022).

Breed‐specific legislation has been heavily criticised for its poor scientific basis (Mills & Levine, 2006; Ott et al., 2008) and lack of demonstrable effectiveness, e.g. hospital admissions for dog bite incidents have continued to rise since legislation was introduced (Creedon & Ó'Súilleabháin, 2017).

For example, Creedon and Ó'Súilleabháin (2017) found no significant differences between legislated and non‐legislated groups of breeds with regard to either the type of bite inflicted or whether medical intervention was required, indicating no difference in the nature of bites received from the two classes of dog. Other studies have found that behavioural responses of dogs from legislated breeds during a temperament test were classified as appropriate in 95% of individuals tested (Schalke et al., 2008) and did not differ significantly from the behavioural responses of Golden Retrievers (Ott et al., 2008), who are widely considered good family pets.

When you say "pitbull" which of the 12 breeds are you discussing? What about mutts? An insane amount of "pitbulls" are actually mutts, many with little to no actual pitbull in them

Inre pugs, at no point did design enter into the equation

Wrong alt account

My car does what it wants until I use the steering wheel or pedals. That's how machines work.

I won't argue about the second panel, even though it wouldn't make sense story-wise for it to be the same character there, but in the third panel she's very definitely pointing towards the fourth panel, not the second.
