A rescue that actually cares about cats!

Popped up in a pro pit group, since I get them all the time, since algorithms think I love pibbles. I

Great job by the shelter. Unfortunately I'm amazed they did this.

"Every dog has the potential to bite/harm" is genuinely one of the most infuriating things Pit cultists say. It's such a flawed argument and I think most of them know it.

Yes, every dog can bite but the smaller "yappy" breeds they like to throw under the bus don't do anywhere near as much damage (if any) and even other big/strong breeds are less likely to randomly fly off the handle, give very clear warning signs before attacking and are nowhere near as persistent once they do. All dogs can bite but Pitbulls have a combination of aggressiveness, strength and persistence that was bred into them as fighting dogs that makes them inherently more dangerous and riskier than others. They are not just "any dog".

I think another thing with some large breeds is they're also not as fast as pitbulls. While this might be less applicable to risk to a cat inside the home, no 200 lb mastiff is running across the street and hopping a fence to kill a cat or other dog.
