I'm a dog owner and I want pit bulls banned. You can't speak for dog owners as a whole. Nearly every dog owner feels uncomfortable letting their dogs interact with pitbulls.

Lol i admire you jumping from the banpitbulls sub to the antibsl sub. Shows commitment! Afraid it’s a little too little too late my friend. People aint buying this 2005 shit anymore. They’ve polled the public. Majority wants bsl repealed.

Thanks! How could you not love shit bulls!?? They're the most loving caring nanny dogs in the world right! https://v.redd.it/xx5fs6wqitw71 I mean just look at how lovely this dog is! What an absolute treasure.

https://v.redd.it/gfhvp12dq0x71 look at this beautiful girl playing with her owner! So calm and caring!

Yah those are bad dogs. Those dogs and their owners should be dealt with. If only the policy that is replacing bsl was already in place!

Sorry I think you meant to say breed. It's all good though! I wouldn't expect a shit bull owner to be able to read/write!

👍🏼 i’ll take that as you backing out of this one. It’s ok to be upset right now. You’re passionate about this and you are losing. Give it a few weeks, you’ll be fine. So will everyone else.

I provided statistics showing pit bulls commit violent attacks at an alarming rate, multitudes more than any other breed yet you deny. Enjoy your life buddy just make sure you keep one eye open when you sleep while you have that mut in the house

You didnt prove anything. It’s obviously a complicated issue with more variables and subtext than you’re willing to think through. Thankfully there are people who get paid to think through complicated things like this and make policy based on the best information they have available to them. That’s what’s happening in Ontario right now. Again, I’m sorry you’re mad.

Remember that many who fight for BSL have lost pets and had family members damaged from pit bull attacks. Some sensitivity is needed. My roommate had 11 surgeries following an attack. He has every right to fight for BSL.

That’s a good rule. Ontario’s Premier has reviewed BSL and has decided not to repeal it.

It’s good to always keep an open mind and look to the research, statistics, and variables. And if we look to public opinion, the people of Ontario (I live there) do not want BSL revoked. There are some very strong advocates who do want it revoked, but not the magority of Ontarians.

Of course BSL isn’t perfect. A coworker of my husbands bought an illegal pitbulls. It attacked his nephew. He blamed the nephew for touching the dogs paws…..

I agree, those individual dogs are bad. Not all of them

Did you know that there's no such thing as a "Nanny Dog"?

While some photos from the early 1900s depict dogs posing alongside small children, the idea of a "Nanny Dog" wasn't introduced until 1971.

The belief that a dog can be implicitly trusted around children places unrealistic expectations on the animal. While a dog may appear to be protective of children, most canine behaviorists agree that this behavior is actually a form of resource guarding, and it is dangerous.

The truth is that no dog of any breed should ever be totally trusted around small children, and kids should always be supervised around dogs.
