Rules
- Posts must be related to dogs or dog ownership and must not be void of content.
- This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
- No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
- No advertising or self-promotion.
- Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
- No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.
- No breed discrimination, all breeds welcome. Our stance matches the ASPCA's official stance and is not up for debate.
- Citing your sources when making a claim is encouraged. Misinformation will be removed.

Watch out, the new mod might ban you for calling them that. You need to provide facts about them killing more than other breeds.
Fatal dog attacks by breed in US 2005-2017
You broke rule 7 multiple times. The rules are clear. See you in 30 days.
The statistics are technically correct, it's not all pit bulls, but pit bulls often show up in statistics due to various human factors and breed misreporting.
They appear statistically dangerous, but individual pit-like dogs are not inherently dangerous, hence why rule 7 is important.
This is some power tripping bastards shit
No, I'm dead serious about rule 7.
We follow the ASPCA's stance on the issue.
Breed discrimination is prohibited, and a ban will ensue following multiple rule violations.
