Why are people bringing racism into a discussion about pitbulls? You keep using those words "racism" and discrimination, but in the context of a discussion about dog breeds, I do not think they mean what you think they mean.
If so, which race is a pitbull?
PLEASE, could any one of these pitbull protectionist tell me, EXACTLY, which race is a pitbull?
Pitbull apologist are the first to throw little dogs like Chihuahuas under the bus. Pitters are always (preposterously) claiming Chihuahuas are more dangerous because they (supposedly) bite more than pitbulls do, so that's them making a "racial" judgement of the entire Chihuahua breed by standards of judging the actions of just some members of the breed. Well then, be consistent, answer which race is a Chihuahua?
Which race is a Dalmatian? Which race is a Greyhound?
Which race is a Labrador retriever? Which race is a Golden retriever?
Which race is a Labrador retriever? Which race is a Golden retriever?
If dog breeds aren't able to be categorized as human races, then are they new races of humans?
If you are going to cross reference human racism to a dog breed like a pit bull, either you admit that they are fully bound by the same definitions of human racism, or you admit that they are not human, or are less than human, thus the definition of human racism is not applicable to them. Therefore the lawful and ethical protections we humans set in place to prevent human racism are not applicable to them.
Be consistent, or just stop with the ridiculousness of comparing dog breeds to human races. You can't just randomly play the race card when it is advantageous to you. If you are gonna play the race card when discussing pitbulls, then pitbulls have to be a specific race to prove why a dog breed issue qualifies as a human race issue.
It is very offensive to compare a breed of dogs to humans who have actually been subjected to racial discrimination.
Or gender based discrimination. Or any other type of discrimination associated with the human race such as discrimination based on sexual preferences or even age.
If you continue to do this, answer this question. Which race is pitbulls? Which gender? Which sexual orientation, or sexual orientations are pitbulls? Do all pitbulls automatically qualify as elderly from birth or even from conception?
To qualify as human discrimination based on differences of race (or gender, sexual orientation, age, etc.), we have to note the differences which are used to qualify as being subjected to unfair discriminatory practices. To apply protections associated with preventing discrimination, we have to categorize (race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.) pitbulls if we are gonna equate them to categories of humans that have been discriminated against. Or are pitbulls somehow better than all other creatures and we gonna give pitbulls their own special racial category?
Where does the silliness of anthropomorphizing a dog breed end? Where does the offensiveness of this anthropomorphizing trend begin? It's hard to know, but I'd say it definitely started when pitbull apologist used it as a justification for the continuation of a breed that kills 20-27 people per year.
To the pitters who continue to equate dog breed to human race, can you not see how offensive that you are being? Such a callow pattern of hierarchy with your thinking, so I'm wondering if you must have learned your standards of valuing human life from a Disney movie. Hate to break it to ya, but not "All Dogs Go to Heaven".
It's no surprise that you value a breed of dog over the lives of humans.
How is it that these animal rights extremist think a dog breed is equivalent to any aspect of the human race? That is child like reasoning, poor logic, and very offensive to people who have actually had to face and overcome racial discrimination, or any other type of discrimination.
Animal rights extremist and pitters must think that it's a case of racial discrimination when we eat a chicken, but keep a parrot as a pet. Lol!
It's just bizarre how these over the top pitbull propagandists will start anthropomorphizing pitbulls. It's like these pitters don't realize that people (including ANY and ALL pitbull breeders) PURPOSELY discriminate every time a dog is bred in order to create or continue a breed. People CREATED dog breeds for a purpose. They did it AND still do it by breeding dogs in a discriminating way- choosing which dogs should be bred by the way of looks and behaviors. There wouldn't even be any pitbulls (or any other breed) if people didn't discriminate and didn't specifically keep on breeding pitbulls to pitbulls. Everytime a pitbull is purposely bred, the breeder bases the decision on looks and behaviors. If I followed the logic of these pitters and animal rights extremists, continuing to breed ANY breed (including pitbulls) would be racist.
