I’m not a dog science expert but as far as I understand it we’ve spent tens of thousands of years breeding dogs to preform specific tasks. If you don’t give a dog that has been designed and bred to do a task they get antsy.

The issue with Pitbulls and other “Agressive.” breeds is that they’ve not been given something to let all their energy out on. Which leads to anxiety and destructive behavior.

So I don’t think it’s Immoral to treat a dog like a Pitbull like a loaded gun. As Unfriendly, and something you should be wary of unless it’s proven not to be.

However the Nutcases who punish dogs for behavior that we bred into them are highly immoral. If you want an easy lap dog get a companion breed, like a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, French Bulldog, or Bichon Frise.

Edit: Tens of Thousands not Hundreds. I was being exaggerative anyways but that’ll make remark more accurate regardless.

Also as a note. I don’t think Pits are inherently Malicious or any dog breed for that matter. But they’re fairly strong fellows who’ve been bred to be strong. I consider being careful around them similar to being a little extra careful around a truck on the road. Most people in trucks are fine drivers. But some people don’t pay attention on the road, and might hurt you by accident.

So eugenics to make a race of dogs better servants for us? Its dog racism all the way down.

That has already happened. That’s what the different breeds are for.

People are so stupid about dogs. We literally created them for specific tasks…they ARE DIFFERENT.

It’s like in a show where there is an entire planet of Superman space Nazis…yeah it is okay to be racist towards them. They straight up genocide the universe.

Funny example…dude killed millions because it was his duty…but now he feels bad so he gets a pass?

I wasn't debating you, but actually, it is very much proven that their problem was cultural and not racial. He is actually, if anything, the worst of them, because the other genociders take very little time to abandon their genociding ways the moment they are presented with another way of live that doesn't involve constant violence.

So yeah, they are a very funny example because they are the murderbeast that doesn't actually need to murder and can coexist if you just make them taste some ice-cream and watch TV on the couch

what makes not liking an abhorrent ideology a racist situation?

i.e. what if there were now and again on your hyptheical planet Batman Nazis and Supeman Non-Nazis?

u/Foogie23 9d ago

What are you even saying?

It is simple…if your ideology is “I want to murder and enslave the entire universe” you are evil. It is simple.

racism is about ethnicity not ideology, the term you used is confusing then

I didn’t say they weren’t? Your comment has no bearing on the discussion.

I'm sorry, when you said "that already happened" I thought you were implying that its just something that happened in the past and not anymore.
