Pit Bulls

lol i highly doubt that a heaven exist, but if it does iam pretty sure that anything i say or think doesnt have any impact on whether you go there or not

i dont know you so i wasnt commenting on your character
am just sharing my thoughts and commenting on things i see in this forum so there is no need to take things personally

i do not mean any harm to you or anyone else

If it does, you deceive yourself.

It only takes two witnesses to convict.

Im not taking your words personally. I take them at face value. If you say I’m deceitful, I must be deceitful.

not in civil countries

interesting, so if i would tell you that you are a smurf you must be one? lol

just because we have and sometimes show certain human skills doesnt mean we are only those skills

one can also easily argue that being deceitfull can be a nice/good thing
like telling small kids that santa isnt quite the person they believe it is
or not informing a lover about the size of their breasts or penis even after being asked for your opinion

No, because your words have no power over my physical appearance or the color of my skin, although, in appearance, I may actually look like a Smurf.

Skills?

We can agree to disagree.

which smurf are you then?

yes abilities, talents

of course, especially the disagreeing part comes naturally to me

wait, does that mean you are like me and when asked you would tell small kids not to sit on santa’s lap because its their weird uncle in disguise? lol

There’s more than one?

I’m nothing like you. I deceive them with tales of how he knows when they are good or bad.

you culture barbarian… there are over 100!

nice, some argue that lying is another skill that can be good or bad :wink:

Nice of him to leave the skin on.

I don’t think any dog is killing other dogs sheer out of fun. My experiences (Gracie was aggressive towards dogs, but not out of ā€œfunā€, but because she feared them and was insecure. Probably made bad experiences as a straydog.) But also the genes or whatever it is which is responsible for the psychological traits all creatures are born with already, play a role here. I know dogs, which never were treated badly or had a negative encounter with another dog (or human), but nevertheless are shy and nervous when they approach someone. My cat Ganynedes is the most anxious cat I know, while Kimba is cool. Both made the same experiences, as they grew up together.

And no, I wouldn"t blame the pit bull but only the owner, for not keeping the dog at bay. Just like I did with Gracie. I never let her off the leash and took her close to me as soon as someone was going to pass us. That’s why I wanted a garden for her. To be free at home at least.

Nonsense, and you almost certainly know better. You just wish it wasn’t so.

Younger dogs like Fido often kill older, more vulnerable dogs like Rex. From a canine point of view, the kill behaviour is expected. Dogs are opportunistic predators who exploit vulnerabilities. When dogs see an injured, sick, juvenile, or otherwise compromised individual, their predatory brain tells them to kill. Humans have tried to breed this out of dogs; unfortunately, most individuals retain their genetic makeup.

lol@you posting proof that dogs dont kill for fun, even if its some shady site with other nonsense :wink:

Typical Nico. When outclassed, attack the source of the link. lol. Here you go:

Review on Selected Aggression Causes and the Role of Neurocognitive Science in the Diagnosis - PMC.

Studies carried out in the years 2008–2016 showed that aggression against unfamiliar dogs (aggression targeted at the dog) had been shown by 22–47% of studied individuals. In many cases of such aggression, the death of one of the dogs involved can be a consequence [39,40]. A study by Van der Borg et al. [41] on Rottweilers showed that as many as a quarter of dogs (mainly without pedigrees) showed behavior related to aggression targeted at both humans and animals. In addition, they were also, in most cases, aggressors in a given interaction.

typical reg, instead of realising there is no mention of ā€œdogs killing for funā€ in his first link he just finds another page… where there is also no mention of fun killing lmao

outclassed indeed :wink:

I love it when you prove how truly stupid you are, Nico. :smiley:

Aggression to the point of killing other dogs for no material gain or purpose is ā€œkilling for funā€.

And yes, you are totally outclassed. Every single time. :slight_smile:

You mix up ā€œkilling for funā€ with ā€œchasing for funā€. It’ not aggression what triggers this, but the instinct to chase after moving objects (alive or dead). Dogs start only if someones running away. If they catch it, they often then also kill it. But again, that’s an instinctive, natural behaviour. Not a conscious decision out of plain fun. Of course for the dog this is a positive experience, which gives him joy/fun and which satisfies him. But again, the same effect has it, even if the animal/object isnt catched or even killed. Chasing alone is the fun here.

Do you really think it matters if the dog only enjoyed the chase and not the killing? Furthermore, you have no idea at all which part of the exercise the dog enjoyed.

In English, ā€œfor funā€ is simply used as a way to say ā€œfor no material gainā€.

Edited to add from ChatGPT: In English, the phrase ā€œfor funā€ is often used to mean doing something without expecting any material gain, even if the activity wasn’t necessarily enjoyable. It can imply that the activity was done for personal satisfaction, as a hobby, or just because there was no serious reason behind it. For example, someone might say, ā€œI helped out at the event for fun,ā€ even if the experience itself wasn’t particularly fun but was done without expecting payment or other rewards.

So say the studies I read.
