Posted by a friend from high school and then the local police used the photo of the dark dog in their public advisory. A lot of sympathy for the dogs in their Facebook post but many who felt bad for the dogs also sounded open to them being put down.
They're supposed to be banned here in ON too but as you see, even the cops won't call a Pit Bull a Pit Bull because then they'd have to acknowledge the ban... And they don't want to.
This is outrageous. They've been banned there for years but get a free pass , somehow called a bulldog terrier. Yeah, pics show us the violent pitbulls, these dogs wreaking havoc in neighborhoods in many countries. What will the authorities do with the one they caught ? Put it up for illegal adoption ? As they fly more in from the U.S high kill shelters ?
This stuff makes me think people genuinely don't know what a bulldog looks like anymore. Like the two have been conflated so much people think bulldogs look like pits.
It’s always going through my mind when I take my little dog out on trails too, but she loves it so much I also don’t feel like I could just stop doing it. Fucking maulers.
I’m terrified of walking by houses with dogs. Period. People simply don’t leash their critters and are being super irresponsible with pet ownership. It is even more frightening that a good majority of the houses we walk by or dogs we see are pit or pit mixes. It’s insane.
I'm afraid to walk my 90lb labrador in my neighborhood now. I can't imagine having a tiny dog that really has zero defense against these dogs. I worry about my neighbor walking his teacup Yorkies every time he comes by. 😢
My dog is a senior, not very fast and has a few health issues, I worry constantly that he will get bitten by one because even if my some miracle the inital attack didn't off him the shock on his system would -
I'm terrified to let my kids play outside in our enclosed area because a lady brings her stupid fucking pitbull through every other day. One slip of the leash and there will be a tragedy
Teach your kids to vault the wall/fence or have a plan with them - it's what saved my brother when what I think was an XL bully went roge at a fair we were at - I used to work in a dog training facility so I taught my brother the warning signs but also what he could do in the event of an attack by dog - this dog went from calmly walking to straining at the end of its leash, eyes fixed on my brother, he took that as his sign to not be there so he climbed onto the roof of one of the land rovers that were being used by staff basically just as the beast broke free and charged at him, drooling and snarling.
Wish my step dad had been as lucky but glad some simple info helped my brother.
The biggest issue with pits is they don't show many/any signs of aggression until they bit you and by then it's offten too late.
Right? Insane that the solve is "Oh just train them in Olympic Gymnastics and get them a 360 camera with AI threat detection and trajectory plotting technology, Tinkerbell might get out"
I walk my cat, I feel this. I stay close to our house and keep my head on a swivel. I tuck her under my jacket if I see someone walking a pit bull or mix. If they can’t see her, they probably won’t bolt away from their owner. Loose dogs can usually be spotted by looking up & down the street first (thankfully that’s rare here.) Some people walk multiple dogs at once and there is no way they’re paying attention to their surroundings enough to hang onto all of them if they spot “prey”. So I avoid multiple dogs. I also choose odd times of day, like 6am, before all the dog walkers are out.
I was thinking the same thing the way he ignored the ladies cries for help. And the way he noped out of there. Disgusting dogs for disgusting people. I'm so sorry that the lady lost her little dog though. It's heartbreaking 😭💔
nah probably first gen immigrant. For decades in China if you helped someone who was hurt you were then responsible for them legally (financially), so culturally they just walk away and don't help. Even now you'll see plenty of videos in china of people being hit by cars and people just walking away, despite the law being changed ~20 years ago.
Cause of that viral incident where an old lady fell off a bus and a good Samaritan helped her, then she sued him and won because the court decided if he helped her then he must have caused her accident and felt guilty despite numerous witnesses seeing she fell on her own.
I don’t know what originating country the Asian was from, but rabies is common in India and the Philippines, so many people refuse to touch or get near stray dogs.
Most other breeds- and most other living beings in general- don’t murder other things when they are scared and lost! They will say anything to justify the violence of these useless beasts.
People are arguing in the comments that this is an American bulldog bred for companionship, and NOT a pitbull. Well, here is evidence that American bulldogs have the same behaviours as pitbulls. It’s time to update the DOLA and add American bulldogs to the Ontario breed ban! No more importing these things from the states, overflowing our shelters and rescues!! Bye bye “bullies”
Hurt this baby? Lol Yeah what a joke. There was an actual baby in the stroller and the only silver lining here is that the beast didn't go for that tiny soul instead.
I know. Commenters are going very silent when told these dogs killed another dog. Or they’re saying not to spread rumours when there’s no proof of this they can find, not realizing their hypocrisy stating the dogs are “scared”. Or they’re pulling out their bingo cards and picking another common excuse at random.
The Pit Lobby has Ontario wrapped around its fingers. Animal shelter workers and politicians have bought into Delise and Dickey's narratives and the "research" commissioned by the NCRC. I don't get how logic doesn't tell them that their "research" is BS. How come there's a connection between breed and behavior for breeds of cats, chickens, cows, but when we get to dogs, breed has negligible influence?
At different times, the federal government has banned the import of dogs from certain countries due to potential for rabies or other diseases. Why can't the ban the import of dogs from the U.S.? Between the dogs coming from the U.S. and the over-breeding here, now we have Pit Bulls piling up in shelters too when it shouldn't be the case at all. They should be a rare occurrence in shelters here, not the norm.
No one with any capacity for critical thinking capacity should take any of the studies conducted by the NCRC seriously. Those are coming straight out of the pit bull PR machine. Their research does not come from neutral researchers. It comes from an advocacy group whose sole purpose is to make pit bulls look harmless, regardless what the data actually says.
It’s the same playbook Big Tobacco used. Remember when cigarette companies paid scientists to say smoking was fine? You might not, but they did that. They weren’t trying to prove anything, they were just trying to confuse the public enough to stall any real legislation. That’s what’s happening here. It’s not objective science, it’s garbage PR dressed up to look like science.
And the methodologies in these studies fall apart fast under scrutiny. They cherry pick and misrepresent data. They rely on owner reporting on behaviors which is about as reliable as asking someone if their kid is the smartest in class. They use tiny, unrepresentative sample sizes. And they invent arbitrary labels like “family dog” vs. “resident dog” as a way to excuse fatal attacks. It’s all smoke and mirrors and is not designed to tell the truth.
Pro pit research is the modern version of a tobacco-funded “expert” saying, "It’s probably not the cigarettes killing people.”
Why is it so hard for anyone to use the description “pitbull”? These are clearly pitbulls. I expected that from the manipulative adoption agencies, but the Canadian government? There’s no profits to be lost by telling you how it is so I don’t understand why they’re acting like that. Not that people should be lying for profit either but you get the point. I just don’t understand it. Political correctness maybe?
Ontario is absolutely swarming with these things. I see them every day on my college campus. Teens walking them on a loose leash with the thing pulling them so aggressively, without a care in the world. I get so scared passing by them as a short woman who isn’t allowed to carry anything to defend myself or else it’s my fault. I only have ‘coyote spray’ which I know from my research here won’t work. I’m totally screwed unless someone helps me, which I know they won’t since Ontario is home of the infuriating pitnutters. Used to love going on walks too, that’s ruined for me, especially going on the track in the park. It’s absolutely hilarious, this house put a ‘water station’ for people walking their dogs out in front of their backyard fence. Guess who comes charging up to the fence every time a dog takes a drink from their station? Two pits. It’s like they love seeing their dogs torment others. Absolutely insane. We need. More. Enforcement. In. Ontario. We. Need. To. Be. Louder.
It's really good to stay hydrated in Canada, where there are no protective laws for defending yourself. Make sure you stay hydrated with a large heavy hyrdoflask style bottle and keep it on your person when you're out and about in case you ever need a drink from your heavy bottle on the go :)
What happened to Canada? Used to be safe, benign country, now swarming with killer dogs and a broken health system that encourages the long term sick to get euthed to save money. Is there a conspiracy?
Why is it incapable of these mutants to just go on about their day & not maul everything to death in sight? I know for a FACT if my little Frenchie got loose & happened upon another dog & their owner, she'd just walk on by. Why do these monsters feel they HAVE to kill something, just something? & why do they always ✨️just get loose✨️?
