    What kind of people are you hanging around that are upset when dogs don’t attack people? I’ve never experienced this phenomenon

      People who make hating pitbulls a personality trait.

      They’re a little like the online childfree communities. They’re rabid about their hatred.

        You mean people who have been attacked or have seen pitbull attacks and are now traumatized and expect the worst!?

        I bet rape victims who are scared of men piss you off too.

          No, you’re misunderstanding. I’m talking specifically about communities that are united by their blind hatred of pit bulls. They’re not all victims of dog attacks and it’s disgusting of you to bring rape into this.

            You are making assumptions that people don’t have a reason to dislike or hate pitbulls. I personally know seven people who have permanent facial disfigurations from pitbull bites.

            I grew up with a pitbull and I would never recommend the breed to anyone. While I am not a hater, I certainly don’t like them even if I loved the one we had. I cringe when I see a child walking around with a pitbull on a rope (common occurrence) because I know there is no way that they can control that animal.

            So back to my point, if someone hates on pitbulls because they or someone they know has been attacked (common occurrence) by a pitbull they have every right to dislike or even hate them.

            Are you the kind of person who says rape victims are wrong for distrusting men? No, but you are the type of person who says people are wrong for hating pitbulls when they have probably had a bad experience with them or know someone who has.

              No, I’m taking about online hate groups, not your average person who dislikes the breed.

              You’re putting an awful lot of words in my mouth. Do you run a Facebook group or subreddit dedicated to this topic?
