Fighting dogs are not pets.

[@dogculturereveiw]

yup problem dogs from another state kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4eTm5qwp8xogNU

[@tatoom40]

Breed known for the most fatalities recovered from a fighting right where they stayed their entire life going to families. Such a smart decision. Nobel prize to the one who thought of this.

Why on earth are pple trying to push **fighting dogs** into homes & communities?? These dogs have *already been selected* for dog-aggression! This is crazy!

[@dogculturereveiw]

yup exactly kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4eTm5qwp8xogNU

Before the truth came out, I'm sure most people that knew Jeffrey Dahmer would have said he was a quirky, but sweet man.

[@camillelong2093]

Can you imagine living next door, maybe having little kids, elderly parents, and knowing your neighbors adopted one? How terrified would you be?

This is terrifying. How do these irresponsible people sleep at night after pushing abused, fully trained murder machines on families whose hearts are bigger than their brains? Does victim-blaming really work that well to take the edge off of the cognitive dissonance they must feel when their sweet little angels snap and maul someone? jfc

At least they have hearts!! Stop assuming the worst.

"From a fighting ring" is pretty vague. There are fighters, breeders and bait dogs, I'm not sure what else. Even if they were the bait dogs their fear response could make them dangerous. I hope they're choosing wisely who to give these dogs to.

[@ShellBellTikitoo]

Bait dogs are a bait & switch. Actual bait dogs don't survive being bait. Actual bait dogs aren't adult pit bulls, which could damage the real merchandise. Anything from a fighting yard is a fighter, bred from winning fighters. A few months of "rehab" won't change basic **and recently reinforced** behavioral genetics. They can't choose wisely enough. Sad, but this is one of the reasons to go hard against both dogfighting and breeding pit bulls: so pple don't have to make the hard decisions to euthanize seized fighters, over & over & over & freakin over.

Not many dog owners or lovers on here, stop assuming the worst!!

[@kookykeen15]

These aren't dogs, they're ticking time bombs.

[@ShellBellTikitoo]

Dog owners & dog lovers have the most motivation to object to *born & bred* adult fighting dogs from a fighting breed in their neighborhoods & communities, because most of the victims will be other dogs. Tired of pple who dgaf about any dogs that aren't built for fighting, pretending to love dogs.
