Thank you for the apparently straight answer. I understood the short answer but when I read the rest it added confusion. Are you saying the animal we would have called a pit bull if raised as a pet would kill other dogs for fun, but we should not call it a pit bull anymore, and therefore the “pit bull” wouldn’t kill for sport but the “wolf” would? These being the same animal?
No, my memories and opinion of Tommy would not change at all. We all have some inferior genes in us. I personally have some Dutch genes and, while shameful, they do not define me. Tommy is obviously not predominantly a Pit Bull Terrier as anyone can see. His jawline and facial structure are totally different. If he has a few inferior genes in his bloodline, that changes nothing to me.
they are from the same origin so of course there are similarities between pets and wild animals but they are different creatures
a wolf (just like a badly or well raised pit pull) doesnt kill for fun/sport, but a hyena will do so
since we took in wild dogs as pets, they have been raised and trained to obey and please / protect their owner
a twisted human can indoctrinate and train a pit bull (or any dog) to become similar to that wild dog again and teach it to harm and kill others, but then it will only do so because it was ordered/indoctrinated to do so
excellent and interesting… so basically for you what matters is how something looks and its whats on the outside that mainly determines if a creature is to be considered good or a monster?
Ok, I’m just going to ignore all of that semantically null word salad. Let me try again with fewer labels.
There’s a little pup who is born of two pit bulls in some disgusting hellhole, say Amsterdam. This pit pup is called, I dunno, Willem Alexander. Now the magic pit fairy comes down to earth, snatches little Willem Alexander immediately after he was born and drops him in the wild where he manages to survive and grow up into a fully grown animal. The magic pit fairy then flies back to earth in the wild and finds Willem Alexander and starts stalking him. Does she see Willem Alexander killing other animals for fun or not?
Please, Nico, a straight answer. Does she see Willem Alexander killing other animals for fun or not?
I didn’t say that at all. What is on the outside is entirely irrelevant on its own, but it is often indicative of what is on the inside. How do you tell the difference between a garter snake (a harmless North American snake) and a Black Mamba? We don’t care about the colour or size or head shape of a snake, but we use those eternal telltales to inform us of what kind of snake it is and of what we can expect of that snake.
lol@cute fairytale, the straight answer would have to be: it depends
if your question would include that willem alexander is still a pit bull then the answer would be no, thats not possible but since it didnt then the answer will have to be it depends
that pit puppy wouldnt survive in the wild by itself, so a lot of questions would have to be answered before a proper guess could be made:
how did it manage to survive? was it adopted by wild animals or some weird human living in the wilderness? or by wolves or hyenas? what are their surroundings like? what happened in their lives? do they come in contact with humans, are they attacked by other wild animals and how did the new parents of that puppy respond?
of course this whole what if fairytale is irrelevant since that puppy would no longer be a pit bull but a wild animal if it wasnt raised by humans
yes and sure it can be indicative of what is on the inside or not at all just like you and your sweet tommy the pit bull
(both of those snakes will only attack when threatened; treat them both with respect and all will be fine, just like with all animals)
you really should stop pretending to hate pit bulls… its obvious that all you want to do is hug tommy the pit bull and all his brothers and sisters
The correct straight answer is yes, the vile pit bull would kill other dogs for fun. If Gunda’s Gracie had been alive near one, and the pit bull was unleashed, there is a very good chance he would have mauled Gracie to death in a second. And then Gunda would blame everyone but herself for her pit bull apologetics of the last many years.
And Tommy is not a pit bull, and I am not Dutch, and yes, I love dogs. Just not pit bulls.
thats just your fearful genes talking, you already stated it wouldnt matter if tommy was a pit bull, its ok… let your dutch genes tell the truth, my brother
If Tommy was a pure-blooded pit bull, I would support his being neutered, which I support for all pit bulls, this being the way I propose to remove this species from existence. I do not support dog-nazi goon squads walking around shooting pit bulls. I just think they should be euthanized, which most animal-welfare advocates agree with, just for different reasons.
I didn’t watch your video, Nico, but those three dogs shown are not pit bulls. Did you enjoy my story above about people who love pit bulls? They appear to be intriguing people with varied interests.
