Highlights: In a bizarre turn of events last month, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that he would ban American XL bullies, a type of pit bull-shaped dog that had recently been implicated in a number of violent and sometimes deadly attacks.

XL bullies are perceived to be dangerous — but is that really rooted in reality?

    All the pitbulls I know are owned by white people. I still want that shit breed banned.

    It’s not about race, pitbulls are shit dogs and should no longer be bred.

      You seem like a shit person to be totally honest. Pretty much everyone I know did a book report on this subject in the 5th grade and realize how fucking dumb breed restrictions were. I guess you were sick that day.

        Because I think the breed responsible for the vast majority of fatal dog attacks is a shit breed?

        I think you’re a shit person for supporting such a shit breed.

          No it’s because you never learned to read, if you had, you’d know how stupid you sound talking about dog bite statistics when in over half of all reported cases the breed is unknown, and in the less than half of cases that the breed is reported, it is self reported by people who are not trained to make visual identifications of dog breeds, and even the people who are trained usually get it wrong, because dog breeds usually cannot be identified visually with any sort of accuracy. So you see, you’re an abject moron who obviously cannot read.

            Nope, that’s just the pitbull propaganda trying to make the shit breed look better.

            Pits were bred to fight and kill other dogs. They are aggressive terriers with a strong prey drive, and they have the physical strength to kill people. That is a bad, and dangerous combination, and the shit breed needs to be done away with.
