Drama all over the thread, naturally. It's only 6 hours old, so the shitshow is bound to continue. I will be updating.
McGruff... Takes a bite outta crime (and your toddler's face)!
One user will always hate them. Does that equate to racism?
One user asks why they haven't been used as police dogs in the past. Opinions are varied.
A user calls out the subreddit moderators for censoring negative comments about Pit Bulls.
Tail docking is an acceptable breed standard.
Breed that will literally shred your face. How fitting for the American police.
Fuck you. Seriously, fuck you. Every bit of you.
Do Pit Bulls have a bad reputation for a good reason, or is it the owners' fault?
Another user argues that dogs' temperaments are not breed based, but come from the owners.

I was really hoping that this would somehow be about Mr Worldwide instead of the dog breed.

It's always a little bit disturbing to find "animal lover" domains like r/aww so often filled with people seemingly ignorant of the animals they claim to care so much for.

I mean if she is she getting the kind of police dog assignment that's like, doing outreach in schools and wearing cute little police hats, cool.
But if we are talking police dogs, as in, dogs that are trained to chase down suspects on command and tackle them to the ground and bite into their arm so they can't get away... uh, I can kind of see the point it's not going to *improve* the stereotype of pitts being attack dogs if they are going to literally train them up to use them as official attack dogs.

I don't know. I understand that dog behaviour is influenced by their owners.
However I preffer to be attack by a bad behaved Shih Tzu than a bad behaved Pitbull.
They may not all be aggresive but they can cause the most damage. Also, they are living beings, humans lost control all the time, beast are sort of the same.

Why do people get so offended when someone is scared of their dog? Reddit is insane with this - it's like you *must* love their dog & even if you've been bitten by a certain breed you're WRONG for not loving those dogs & you MUST have done something to provoke it.
It's a totally legit fear.

When I was in 2nd grade I was attacked by 2 pit pulls. Luckily my friends dad was outside when it happened and beat the dogs back with a broom stick. Those same dogs attacked two other children, my own dad, and the mailman. Pit bulls still make me nervous.

Pitbulls in r/aww cause more drama than talking about guns in r/news

The problem with pit bulls are the owners, not the dogs.
Full disclosure: I do not have any dogs as pets.

Those types of subs are always awful. There's always that fucking asshole who when an animal does something cute just has to go "YKNOW THAT ANIMAL HAS A <insert horrible disease or deformation> ITS REALLY NOT CUTE IT'S HORRIBLE"

There's really no argument regarding breed specific legislation and the aggressive nature of pit bulls among professional organizations. People are afraid of things they don't understand, more on this shocking development at the top of the hour.

My American Staffordshire is better behaved and less dangerous than 99% of the rat dogs whose aggressive and annoying behavior is reinforced as "cute".

I couldn't read those comments. How sad. The dog looks so proud (and is a rescue to boot!). First it was Dobermans, then rotties, and now pitbulls that people wants to ban. I think german sheppards at one point as well. I know people with pitbulls as pets and they are good dogs.
There were 2 pitbull incidents where I live recently that people freaked out about. In one a pitbull actually killed a beagle. Sad that it wasn't reported that the pitbull hadn't been fed in days when it got loose and killed the beagle. In the other someone left their dog alone with their child and the child got hurt. You should never leave your child alone with a dog no matter what the breed of the dog.

My sister's lab went after our pup once. Meanwhile, a pitt was terrified of our pup.
Dogs are weird.

I honestly can say the first thought that ran through my mind when I started typing is it was eventually going to lead to this. Man, people get upset about their dogs. I'm even getting creepy pms from people trying to educate me on the matter. I even kept a neutral stance. Still, I'm apparently a nazi for that.

Used to volunteer at the humane society. Pit bulls were always the sweetest, and also made up the biggest breed of dogs we had at the shelter, since few people wanted them. Lol I remember one in particular, whenever I took her out for walks if she decided she wanted a belly rub she would flop down and roll over until she was obliged. Absolute sweetheart with just the perfect touch of sass. She eventually got adopted, thankfully. But pitties do have to deal with too much stigma and it's a damn shame because they really don't deserve it.

Unpopular opinion: I don't particularly care for the ban that Montreal was going to enforce. Now I think euthanizing the pitties in the shelters was definitely going too far, but other than that I felt bad for not caring much. I dislike the breed. They might bite less often than a chihuahua, but the last time I got bit on the nose by a chihuahua, it didn't even leave a mark. Plus, pitties are sort of ugly. At least pugs are ugly-cute. If you have a pit bull, I won't say anything but don't expect me to pet it.

Every time I see people monger fear over pit bulls I'm always inclined to think they're just trolling uppity pitbull owners, like those "Americans Against Tattoo Degeneracy" Facebook pages
but then I remember they passed laws against em
