    I did not call everyone a dog rasict, I called the person say it was good that pitbull were being put down in the UK a dog rasict. But by your logic, we should have killed all Germans in WW2 because Germany was the home on the Nazi party and killed millions of people, but that’s wrong because not every Germany killed a person. And to say that we should kill something because it’s “in there nature” is harmful to all life because it sets an unrealistic expectation of what it is like. I’m not gonna deny that pitbulls attack people, but a dog rarely attacks people for nothing, and often the reason is out of fear or abuse.

      Dude if you have to bring up Nazi Germany to defend your stance then you have already lost.

      There are over 300 recognised dog breeds, and one of them is responsible for more than half of all attacks.

      Dogs aren’t people. We kill it eliminate troublesome breeds/species all the time. Ex: Japanese hornet

        Japanese hornet was an invasive species to the Americans and thus was removed, but it’s not being exterminated in mass in Japan and other areas the hornets call home. And for you to say that because an animal isn’t human is basically saying it has no soul and doesn’t feel emotions, or at least that how you come across.

          1. No proof souls exist
          2. Are you a strict vegan? Otherwise you recognize animals are below humans.
          3. Animals obviously feel emotions.
