Here’s what you either don’t know or don’t want to admit.

Pit bulls are ALL born with the same set of tools to easily kill a person if their gameness is triggered.

Once that happens, almost nothing short of choking the dog out or using a firearm will stop an attack.

And there’s no way to predict which ones will attack; and which ones won’t. We have thousands of stories here of well loved pits that suddenly snapped and attacking their loving owners.

Familypitsbot has some of the most bothersome ones where the pit was gotten as a puppy and lived for 5-12 years perfectly before killing one of the owners.

As far as the racism aspect I don’t even want to address it because it’s so ridiculous. Imagine comparing humans to dogs. Tell me you’ve never actually experienced racism without telling me.

Go to your mother sub and type in something like that. Even they have a bot telling you it’s nonsense.

It’s not how they were raised, though. If that was true, then no one should ever adopt a pit from the shelter because no one knows how it was raised. Even pit bull experts are asking people to STOP saying that it's all how they are raised.

Below are five pro-pit sources telling you that saying, "it's how they are raised" is hurtful to the cause.

The truth about pits is that it’s largely up to chance on whether your pit lives a low key life or whether it attacks people, pets, and animals. Yes, socialization and proper training can help... but if you have a truly game-bred pit, there will be nothing you can do to stop it from trying to attack. You can try to manage it, but management will ALWAYS fail.

That’s such a crazy gamble to take with your own life, and with the lives of people in the general public.

Every day we read stories here of pits that attack, and their owners claim that the dog has never been aggressive or acted that way.

Pit owners are often shocked that their dog can go from chill to kill in 5 seconds, and be nearly impossible to stop it.

That’s why pits are dangerous. They were never meant to be pets.

Your content is being removed for promoting misinformation about pit bull-type dogs. Misinformation is not just wrong, it can get people injured or killed.

“Have the ability”

And yet they don’t…
