    From my experience? Absolutely. I have “family” elsewhere outright mean to their cat, just because they failed to raise him. I have an extremely close friend who has provided examples of many people (but particularly men) who hate cats, and cite reasons oddly aligned with misogyny.

    Sounds sus to me.

    I watch dogs as a job. I’ve had many pit bulls. I have had one that got aggressive, who responded to being yelled at. There were no other issues, and that was one of the best playmates I’ve seen.

    If anything, pit bulls are commonly gentler than other breeds. I’m watching one right now who likes to give my dog kisses. A friend has a family pit bull who is one of the most timid dogs I’ve seen. I have only had pit bulls that are wonderful to be around. This is why eliminating the breed seems unacceptable to me.

    It is learned behaviour–and, granted, it is easier to teach. Instead, acquiring the breed should require a licence.

    You know how conservatives frequently say they dislike cats? It’s because cats can’t be trained. And misogyny (case in point: my father). They don’t like not having control. It often isn’t control they want, however, but instead abuse. Something to hit that won’t hit back.

    That’s how aggression happens.

    Case in point, I know someone in Texas who mentioned dogs breaking out a lot. They noted that many of them are pit bulls.

    A person wants a strong, obedient dog that will get the bad guy. Does that, or does that not sound like a conservative?

    Pit bulls are otherwise very loving family dogs, which seems to be genetic.
