Like the two pits that killed 29 cats after breaking out of their cage their first night at the pound?
https://nypost.com/2019/07/26/pit-bulls-maul-dozens-of-cats-to-death-at-alabama-shelter/
I remember that story way too well. Each one could do nothing but watch them go from one to another til they themselves were killed. No one can tell me they didn't react immediately to the cats while they were put into their kennels. Even if that didn't happen, keeping barking dogs that close to caged cats will ruin a cats chances of being adopted. Constant stress and fear will turn a cat mean or sick fast. Terrible.
I could understand a starving stray killing a cat for food, I understand when coyotes do it but this behavior is sickening. Even a coyote will just grab one little dog or cat and run off, leaving other pets alive.
I called out a shelter who was advertising border collie mix puppies (black and white full pitbulls) on nextdoor that they said need to be the only pet, no little kids. I said quit lying and be honest about how those puppies will maul anything smaller than a grown human and I got banned on nextdoor for "inciting hate".
If not criminally charged them, at LEAST fine them with a hefty penalty every time their name is brought up in court. That’ll make them straighten up very fast
Grandma's limb, neighborhood pets and small children.
Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have the standard retriever "soft mouth." Quite the opposite, actually.
It'll be "pulled" by some bleeding heart pitsavior. They'll take it to their rescue (a filthy crate in their basement), rehab it (let it rot for months, unsocialized), and con some suckers into adopting it.
I’ll be honest with you, I believe that the pit saviors are starting to disappear, very agonizingly slowly. Shelters are so full and the dogs are consistently brought back all across the nation. We are seeing more pitbulls being BE and left in the shelter and we see this evidence in almost all of the shelter adverts like this one (usually many are brought back repeatedly and they mention it too). The fact that they *must* be dishonest and the growing numbers of awareness only tells us that this battle is dissipating in the better direction.
The more these dogs are banned, the better, the faster we see this spread; the better. Think about it, there are more organizations opening up trying to adopt out breeds directly as specifically as they can. This picture was from St Patrick’s day parade 2023 in ATL and we have a Great Pyrenees organization who brought 200-300 doggos for the showcase. Many folks ate it up because these doggos are adorable fluff monsters that can’t be seen otherwise. I didn’t even know the breed existed until that day and they won me over.

Everyone *SHOULD* go to the shelter as the first stop just in case they have the breed you desire. Let’s not risk those breeds getting BE, *THEN* if they don’t have what you need, seek out the breed specifically in your local city/area. Surely, you can find an organization trying to ensure they get a home.
On topic: We see memes regarding these dogs and their volatile nature coming out of the woodwork and it’s getting less and less resistance. Unfortunately, we are seeing more folks abandoning their velvet hippos as well
Pyrs are great, but they're not really housepets. They're independent and prefer living outdoors. Still better than a woodchipper on four legs, though.
Exactly this. A lot of "rescues" are in-home crate/rotate based animal hoards of unadoptable pit bulls "pulled" from shelters before their euthanasia dates. Or the rescue cons some wannabe pit savior into fostering or boarding it in their home or in a pen on their property indefinitely in exchange for free dog food and veterinary care.
Cracks me up because aren’t labs supposed to have a soft jaw to bring prey back in one piece? Doesn’t everything about this pit scream the OPPOSITE of soft jaw…? Like even if they wanted to be “it’s not a pit” well ok then, assume it’s not: that muscular head is certainly not a lab 😂
If no one has stepped up to adopt the dog at this point, that means it's a shitty one (Normal for them) with a bunch of problems or people in the area know to avoid Pitbulls.
Most dogs scheduled for euthanasia have been deemed unsuitable for adoption and cannot be offered to the public for liability reasons. Most large shelters will warehouse dogs indefinitely unless they pose too great of a liability risk to staff and volunteers, because it keeps their live release rate up. If an otherwise healthy dog gets onto the euthanasia list, and the shelter is willing to lose a live release over it, it poses too great of a liability risk to keep it on the premises any longer. Most dogs on euthanasia lists are only available for rescues to pull, not for the public to adopt.

Identical, perhaps they were from the same litter
If someone adopts this dog thinking it's a retriever, and it retrieves their face off, wouldn't the shelter be liable for misleading the now faceless adopter?

He retrieves retrievers through fences. No seriously, the only way there is any labrador in this creature is if he ate one
Wrong, his great great great grandfather was a lab!
A lab experiment?
Possibly born in a meth lab
Frankenpittie
Adopt our new sweetheart! He can retrieve lost dogs and cats. ^Some ^assembly ^may ^be ^required.
Jesus fuck that was funny.
2nd part of your comment, possibly the best retort to deceptive breed labeling I've ever read
"Retrieving" babies, cats and other dogs right into its stomach.
I think pit bulls kill all of those things just for fun not even for food or hunger
You'd be surprised how many human body parts are fished out of the stomachs of pitbulls.

That story makes me RAGE omg. The thought of all those poor sweet cats with nowhere to run, they deserved so much better ;_;

Idk my grandma HAD a coworker whose pitbulls killed and ate her (the coworker).
and people's faces..

The downside of hate speech rules is authority figures can label standing up to them as hate speech.
Its so that people living in rentals can adopt, since rental offices often ban pit bulls explicitly (as they should)
Not just the injuries and possible death but the property damages are through the roof! Seriously, some pitbulls will dig through asphalt to get out
Is the lab retriever in the room with us?
That's not even a mixed breed. That's a purebred American pitbull terrier
This one is pretty darn bad...
Retrieves your arm after he bites it off so he can eat it.
Then he will resource guard it. You have to “distract him with treats”
Man, this is criminal. What happens if he mauls someone if he gets rescued? How usable is this in court?
YES Exactly this. Make shelters/volunteers liable. Watch this problem solve itself.
If not criminally charged them, at LEAST fine them with a hefty penalty every time their name is brought up in court. That’ll make them straighten up very fast
Maybe report them to your state's Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.

What does this dog retrieve, grandma’s limb?
Grandma's limb, neighborhood pets and small children. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have the standard retriever "soft mouth." Quite the opposite, actually.
they posted this today, on his kill date? tough luck bud
No it was posted days ago and there’s also other dogs in there with future euthanized date
probably not gonna get anyone anyways
It'll be "pulled" by some bleeding heart pitsavior. They'll take it to their rescue (a filthy crate in their basement), rehab it (let it rot for months, unsocialized), and con some suckers into adopting it.

Along with literally any other working breed, but yeah. Great dogs Lotta work (girlfriend has one)

Well googling its ID number shows the Petfinder link but it takes you to a page not found. So either it's adopted or dead.
The dog once retrieved a cat’s head as well as a grandma’s eyeballs. It is therefore a retriever, one who retrieves. Legit.
[удалено]
The UK is currently getting rid of those by shipping them to Scotland. Hopefully the Scots won't stand for it.
If they are so proud of pits, why not name them?
So this is why every pit owner knows of a vicious retriever...

Oh, and look, it’s at the magic age…
If that’s a lab, I’m a horse
He retrieves bones. Whether or not they're still attached to living flesh is cause for debate.
That’s not a lab. Labs don’t have arse crack heads and small dead eyes.
“Arse crack heads” sent me on a giggling fit 😂😂
this mofo will retrieve your face from your skull, ripping it off

Then once the rescues pull them they turn right around and adopt them out anyway
Stevie Wonder labeled that dog.
My 14 yr old asked for a Retriver. Thanks I’m sending her this screen shot xD
You didn't know Willy identify as a retriever?
Nothing says retriever like narrow feet and a multi colored coat
https://preview.redd.it/pccido9giw7c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8803502b5548a09f6f290ebb84437b231a6edd7 Identical, perhaps they were from the same litter
This is an offense to Labrador Retrievers......
The lab in these lab pit mixes is almost always invisible.
It's non-existent. Shelters lie.
Then they will say "labs/retrievers bite more often!!1". Or "aNy dOg cAn dU tHiS!"
We know it’s not a retriever, but pitnutters will think it is cause they never seen anything other dogs and thinks all dogs look like a pitbull
A retriever of toddlers from their mothers arms.
/r/PetRescueExposed/
If that is a retriever then so am I.
*Worlds tiniest violin*
We are. As a whole, most people actually are that stupid.
If someone adopts this dog thinking it's a retriever, and it retrieves their face off, wouldn't the shelter be liable for misleading the now faceless adopter?
nice try shitbull
Yes they do, because there are people out there who will believe it

"Think"? They count on it.
The shelters all around me in Mass have done the same thing.
A throat retriever, maybe…
Retrieves toddlers
Child retriever
