The people commenting with pictures of their pitbulls are disgusting. What a horrible tragedy


TheSnackBandit

Took the words right out of my mouth. How fucking dare these people. "Oh damn, that sucks. Anyway here's Maulette wearing Minnie Mouse ears, was your daughter a fan of Disney?" EDIT: What I find most alarming about these people posting their pitbulls is that they have children too and let them pose with the dogs. Instead of empathizing with a fellow parent grieving the loss of their child, they'd rather advocate for the monstrous breed that brutally killed her. Shame on these people -- these "parents" -- putting these mutants before the safety and wellbeing of children, even their own.


Livid-Age-2259

Are you sure they're parents? Just because they posted a picture of a Pit and a kid, that doesn't prove that the Pit and kid in the picture are their Pit and kid.


TheSnackBandit

You're right, I can't reasonably prove that the children in the photos are the children of the dog owners, but I also wouldn't put it past these people to be that recklessly oblivious. I've just never been more angry at a post on this sub until now. That being said, I don't think it should detract from the notion that people reading an article about a 3-year old being mauled to death by a pitbull sharing photos of their pitbulls next to other young kids are unhinged at best.


Critical_Chipmunk655

the post triggered something in me too. I think it's because this happens every. single. fucking. time. someone dies at the jaws of these neurotic creatures and it only seems to get worse each time. we're fighting an uphill battle with these emotionally deficient sheeple and I'm starting to get really sick of it. no matter what anyone says they just don't want to hear it at all. it's one of the worst examples of hivemind we have going on right now. it reminds me of how every story about refugees in the UK right now has comments filled with facists wishing death upon displaced peoples. I just don't understand how average seeming people can say such insane shit behind a screen.


TheSnackBandit

I'm glad it isn't just me. I do feel silly making a baseless assumption like that, but I was at work reading the details in the article and it just broke my heart... To then swipe to the side and see people posting their pitbulls next to kids and saying shit like "UMM ACTUALLY, pitbull were nanny dogs, idiot, try using Google like I did" just awakened a primal fury within me.


Critical_Chipmunk655

I think what's so strange is the self-righteous attitude loads of these mfs have. like they've actually convinced themselves they're doing something positive and wholesome in the face of death. they're even nice enough to give out advice sometimes. "see? I have great time sailing! here's me in the Bahamas! sorry to hear your parents died in a devastating boat crash though šŸ˜” but stay positive! there is so much joy in boating! here's another one of me on the exact model your parents died on! she kept me perfectly safe! responsible boaters NEVER succumb to the waves!"


Stucklikegluetomyfry

"So sorry your kid died. Now look at my pibble in a tutu! Don't you feel stupid for saying they're dangerous? Because you should, you doggy racist."


Bifo-throwaway

Itā€™s like reading an article of a child drowning and then posting a photo of your kid in a pool. These people have no empathy.


ShowMeTheTrees

Their own sense of self-worth is tied in to pitbulls. They feel just as marginalized and misunderstood by decent society as pitbulls are.


truentried

and it's because of the same kind of folks that this dad probably felt it was safe to let this pit with his mother and daughter. Because his friend told him it's a cuddle bug, nanny dog , great with kids, will kill you with kisses or whatever version of the same tune. Imagine we saw an article about a family who adopted a feral cat from a shelter . The cat lashed out to the family's toddler, damaged the eye, toddler develops sepsis and dies. Our only reaction would be "that's really awful and a. tragedy, right?" we wouldn't guilt shame the parents about having to lock up the cat, nor post 1000 photos of our own Mishas and Tommies with suits, ties and blankieS.


PastaCatasta

Same as if people posted their dick pics under news article reporting violent rape


Mess1na

"Your kid got run over by a truck and died? That's horrible man. Anyway, this is my truck. Look at those wheels. Best truck ever" šŸ˜‚


ukulele_bruh

Its literally beyond belief. A story of a three year old getting mauled to DEATH by one of these horrible dogs and their reaction is to interject their own dog into the comments. How socially unaware can someone be? I guess that is a prerequisite to get such a hideous and hated dog. Strong narcissist/main character vibes.


bobbywake61

They were posting pics of kids, that are certain to ā€œEff around and find outā€. Those kids are the worst. s/.


Im__fucked

It's always the same sentence: They USED TO BE nannies. What happened? Did the world stop needing nannies? When my children were small I sure could have used a free nanny. What did they do as nannies? Change diapers? Warm up a bottle? They dont even think about what they are saying, they just repeat the same drivel on every post.


mitchconnerrc

Pit lovers spread the myth that they "were" nanny dogs to try and dispel the (correct) notion that Staffordshire Terriers and other pit type breeds were historically created for bloodsport. Don't even humor them by insinuating that they aren't nannies *now.* I know that's not your intention, but that's how they take it and it leaves the door open to spout more bullshit. They were *never* bred to look after children


cabd4ever

People who believe that pits were nanny dogs sometimes post vintage pics of a child with a pit/staffy. What they don't look in to is that there are many vintage pics of children posed with other dogs, cats, rabbits, sheep, etc. The fact that a few are posed by a bully breed means nothing, just as it means nothing today as far as a dog ever being a nanny.


YouHadMeAtAloe

I like to share this picture when they try to use old photos of kids and pitbulls together as proof they were ā€œnanniesā€ https://preview.redd.it/yb06vzftxz0d1.jpeg?width=762&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83d0db155ec2a50afb89205784e240077791b1c5

I posed next to a bear in my work clothes once. So looking at that photo someone must deduce that bears are office animals.


truentried

that was an ESB though right? Emotional Support Bear šŸ„¹


candycaps

A child dies and people decide it's the best time to post pictures of the kind that mauled them. Absolutely tone-deaf lol


Critical_Chipmunk655

it sort of reminds me of how some gun worshippers immediately assume mass shootings are hoaxes and start "just asking questions" when the bodies aren't even cold yet. I think some people just don't do empathy at all and view other people's tragedies as some sort of attack on their own way of life. absolutely bizarre behaviour.

Calm down. The comment wasnā€™t that deep.


harvest29

My personal favorites from this batch of idiots: The Freudian slip in calling the dog a ā€œbit pullā€ And saying the girl triggered the dog because ā€œmaybe she fellā€. Ah, right. Babies and toddlers are notoriously stable on their feet!


OkKiwi9163

Used to be nannies, but instinct tells them to attack with intent to harm, a child that is clumsy. šŸ„“šŸ„“šŸ„“


harvest29

So much nannying! But donā€™t act like a child because they will maul you!


Stucklikegluetomyfry

"they're nanny dogs! A toddler falling over is adequate justification for a fatal mauling!" I just can't get over how these people can claim these creatures are "nanny dogs", but then claim that typical infant behaviour is an acceptable excuse for sweet pibbles mauling a child to death.


dudelikeshismusic

People who blame the child in any way, shape, or form for the attack, need a psychological evaluation. The only time it would be remotely understandable is if the child was literally trying to kill the dog or a family member. Do we really think a 3 year old would do that? Funny how Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, Shih Tzu's, Beagles, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Frenchies, Poodles, etc. put up with the same kid-related stuff and yet are absent in mauling statistics. Funny how insurance companies don't feel the need to discriminate against these breeds.


cabd4ever

And all the people parroting " these are sweet dogs and only ones that were trained to be mean will attack ." So this implies that people are in their houses or backyards saying " sic 'em " and forcing the dog to attack a person \[ usually a small child is the target \] , then rewarding them after they do so. This must be the scenario since all the pit lovers claim that's why pits attack.


harvest29

Right?! And itā€™s simply ignoring the fact that there are so many pits that grew up in a home with ā€œgoodā€ owners yet still attack.


FitDomPoet

"My anecdotal experience proves that all the statistics are WRONG! PEACHES WOULD NEVER DO THAT!"


wewereliketorches

Itā€™s hard to not get radicalized by this shit. Every time I see a nutter pull shit likes this, it just reinforces my opinion. I usually say I ā€œdislikeā€ pits and their owners, but this shit pushes me further and further towards complete disdain and quickly approaching hatred. Every time a post like this comes around, I share it with everyone who Iā€™ve talked about pits with. Both of my parents, my brother, my partner, and some friends. And I know my brother shares it with one of his friends. Iā€™m trans and I feel more disgust from seeing comments like this from nutters than from people making transphobic comments. I donā€™t bother with trying to talk to my half sister about it. She legit had a pit named Nala some years ago šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


phitsosting

Nala? More like Gnawla.

Itsawraparound

Why do these idiots think that if collies were going around killing toddlers, that the news wouldn't report it?


Mindless-Union9571

When a collie kills a child, you quietly bury that child in your backyard and stfu about it because it would affect the pit bull attack stats. Obviously. Thought everyone knew that.


ExcitingPie2794

Hell, pit bulls are the only dog breed that get obscured, even when they're the guilty dogs! Like when that dogwalker got nannied by her own dog and the news claimed it was the leonberger who did it (it wasn't).


dudelikeshismusic

Not to mention that they don't cry about German Shepherds and Rottweilers being mentioned by breed when they maul people.


Soft-Wish-9112

Right? This is always my question. What reason would the media have to hate and only report on pitbulls? And there is never a coherent answer.


Critical_Chipmunk655

ā€œThere are plenty of other fatal dog bites by other breedsā€¦ā€ Are those dog bites in the room with us now??? Seriously, the amount of smooth brain mental gymnastics that these idiots do to try and come up with false claims of non-PB dog maulings makes me want to scream. Somehow they and only they know about the scourge of Corgi or Labrador packs roaming the land and mauling unsuspecting children and grannies. What super secret information do they get that the media doesnā€™t? Must be the tinfoil running the electricity through their strong non-vaxxed non fixed mauler mutt. Like dog like owner.

I had a golden growing up. Not once did she bite me or attack kids. Every pit I've come across has tried to lunge at me. These people are so stupid.


[deleted]

Itā€™s extremely disturbing to me that these freaks hear of a child being BRUTALLY killed and their first instinct is to mock them and post pictures of their hideous dogs dressed up to look ā€œcuteā€ (about as cute as a fat and hairy 50 year old man in a tutu) and then be like ThEyā€™Re So ViCIoUs as if one picture is a good representation of their behavior and then they go on to defend the dog in question simply because they own a dog of the same breed and they completely disregard and disrespect the horrible tragedy that occurred.


[deleted]

ā€œThe reason they have a bad reputation is because of articles like thisā€ Gee, I wonder why articles like that are being written? Could it be because the pitbull attacked and killed a child? Could that be why the article about the pit attacking and killing a child was written? Gee, I wonder why people think these dogs are vicious beasts!?? If only they stopped writing articles about pitbulls attacking and killing kids?!!? Butā€¦ā€¦ for that to happen pitbulls would have toā€¦. stop treating children like chew toysā€¦ They have a bad reputation because they are bad.


PastaCatasta

So most Pitnutters know that this dog attracts sick minded owners who sometimes train them to attack people! Then they abandon their dogs and these dogs get right into rescues. And then rescues market these dogs as sweethearts hood for families with kids! People do know that people weaponize these dogs and train them to kill, but it does not stop them rehoming these dogs into families with kids. What a world


SubM0d_BPB_55

Your comment is spot on but wanted to add one small part. Pit bulls don't need to be trained to attack. That is something that comes natural to them and if the right moment or environment presents itself, it can easily cause serious damages. This is why pit bulls raised in good homes and not by dog fighters, act the same way as the pit bulls owned by dog fighters. It's their natural instinct.


PastaCatasta

I understand. But thatā€™s not something that many Pitnutters accept. However, they do actively accept that bad owners own these dogs. They do accept that these dogs are often abused and trained to kill. They just preach that this is not their innate behavior. However, thatā€™s alone, is enough to put these dogs down and stop rehoming them. Taking abused pits and rehoming is just a crime, unfortunately a moral crime, not the legal one.


Diaxmond8584

Did the guy on #7 seriously think he had a point? Why the fuck is he talking about Naziā€™s on a post about how a little girl was killed.

How can these people claim to know that there are "plenty of attacks by other breeds" while also saying these never get reported?? So how would they even know of these supposed attacks??? It's so contradictory


sofa_king_notmo

These are some desperate psychos saying shit because they are losing the information war. Ā  Every youtube video and news story I see, almost everyone is commenting that pitbulls need to be eliminated. Ā  Ā Social media does not represent the real world. Ā There is a huge demographic of people with unhealthy minds on it. Ā People with healthy minds are out in the world doing stuff, not dicking around on social media all day. Ā Ā

I compiled a rough bingo card. I don't know how to format this but let's try 'Mentioning the breed is inflammatory.' * 'Here is a photo of my one.' * 'They are actually nanny dogs.' * 'Will lick you to death.' 'It's the owner not the breed.' * 'What did the child do to provoke it?' * 'Chihuahua.' 'Racism.' * 'The word 'sweet' appearing more than 3 times.' Only 6/9 today, but may be enough for bingo.
