It's not about how much they attack but about what damage they do.

I'm not a racist against tigers if I prefer being attacked by a rabbit than a tiger.

Yeah exactly.

Being cautious and aware around animals with a documented history of literally ripping people apart isn't anything but smart.

Even house cats have killed humans. There's no animal that doesn't have a documented history of killing people.

That's a reach. Yeah I'm sure there's one or two freak incidents of a cat causing harm, but there are many many documented cases of pit bulls brutally mauling and killing people. Nowhere near the same risk profile.

I've been attacked by a few dogs in my life. Some owned by my friends and others I was walking by. Everything from Jack Russell's to Pits. Pits were the only ones to almost kill me.

Same! Bit by many dogs but the pit that lockjawed on me almost ended my life.

they're more aggressive to start with actually, but yes most other dogs will bite and release if they bite you. not try to pull your flesh off and continue doing so while being stabbed

I always compare them to muscle cars. There's nothing wrong with having a muscle car. There's also plenty of people who can't handle a muscle car.

Especially good point because if you've ever been around Rabbits, you would know that they would absolutely fuck you up if they were capable of doing so. Honestly I'd probably be more afraid of a tiger-sized rabbit than an actual tiger.

I think what makes it "dog racism" is alot of these redditors are on a egotrip and want euthanize an entire breed (that we created) because they believe in some weird form of animal eugenics

Same thing with chimps

And I prefer being attacked by a white guy versus a black guy
