I’ve worked in animal rescues, shelters, and at a veterinary clinic. I’ve interacted with probably hundreds of pit bulls in my life over the years, and I’ve fostered more than ten of them. My fosters were all lovely with me, other people (especially children), my resident dogs, and all my cats. One went on to become a service dog for a little boy with autism, and my last foster is now a support dog for a young adult with severe autism.

While I have met some pits with behavioral issues and different types of aggression, they are few and far between. There are many, many other breeds that have a higher percentage of individuals with dangerous behavioral issues than pit bulls.

I would encourage anyone who has such patently false ideas about these dogs to volunteer at their local shelter and get some actual experience with bully breeds. If that’s too big an ask, have a conversation with the vet techs and doctor assistants at your veterinary clinic, and ask them which breeds they have the most difficulty with during appointments. It won’t be put bulls. There is a reason that very few people that work with dogs share your opinion.

My oldest cat will bring up socks, underwear, and even tank tops from the laundry area downstairs. She lets out such mournful cries while she’s doing it. Most mornings we have to collect her harvest and take everything back downstairs, restarting the process.

Everyone needs a space for venting, so maybe this concept would let people purge and be generally more pleasant to be around?

Thank you for this comment! I have a cat with FLUTD, and this condition can become fatal quickly if not addressed.

I’d also like to add that declawing can lead to litter box avoidance, and as a consequence, inappropriate elimination in cats. Declawing doesn’t just take the nail, but it also either removes or damages he first “knuckle” bone in cats’ paws. This can result in nerve damage, which makes cats’ natural digging in substrate painful. This is one of many reasons to not declaw your cat. There is no justification for this awful surgery.

Terminally stupid in this case.

This is important to bring up. If we want to stop being subjected to this kind of fuckery, we need to unite and vote with our dollars. I love making egg-based dishes, but there are other options. The real problem is most people struggle with the idea of making sacrifices to get what they want later. Just don’t buy eggs as an average consumer if they are that unaffordable.

In the United States, we are spoiled for choice when we shop. We’re used to being able to get what we want when we want it, and that’s led to a sense of entitlement. Eat other things, get creative. Look up effective substitutions for eggs in baking.

We don’t have to take this. So don’t.

Old enough to know better.

No worries! The climate catastrophies will get most of us well before cancer does.

Was it, though?

Hi. No. I didn’t. If you import like- minded people, you have a stronger opposition.

I wish Canada would start an immigration program for Americans who don’t want to be a part of this shit.

I voted, I’m politically active, and I don’t want to be on this ride. While I don’t have a sought-after degree, I want to work for and contribute to my community. I have skills that I would be glad to contribute. I would pounce on the chance to get out of this shit hole.

As a Wisconsinite, I will cheerfully defend Canadian sovereignty. Come for us, you fascist fucks.

Hard disagree. The people can do a lot.

Why have to bother yourself with harm reduction when you can choose to do nothing and passively allow things to get worse? That would be asking too much.

Where, specifically?

This is obviously a cover-up. The cops would have shot the rats otherwise.

Nah, friend. Opinions are different from scientific facts, even if you believe them super, super hard. In case you aren’t allergic to education, enjoy!

Ooo, gaslighting. Another word you don’t understand. Keep going. I’m so close.

Okay, I don’t agree with the emotional concept that a fetus is a person innately, but I can at least understand where that type of thinking comes from. Claiming it’s a fully-developed human is just demonstrably wrong. You’re entitled to your opinion, but feelings aren’t facts. I sincerely hope this is a sad attempt at trolling.
