    Anyone else old enough to remember when dobermans and rottweilers were the killer breed of the day? I wonder what the next one will be.

              By that logic, why does 535 look like more than 3/4s of 3397? Because it’s not the easiest to show the accurate scale of 3397 versus 535 on an infographic and not have to figure out how to display a 12000x1500 pixel image in such a way you can still read it. It’s not a conspiracy, just lame formatting. Chill.

      It would really funny if black folk decided to make it something stupid.

      Bunch of rap videos with blinged out Pomeranians. Stock footage of a flock of them running and barking.
      🎵 come around, imma get you with my pomeraptors 🎵

      3 months later, a slew of news reports from Sinclair owned news stations about small dogs and behavior issues. Some crying church lady with dry wispy blonde hair, talking about how Jesus only loves golden doodles.
      Then a flood of memes calling Pomeranians finger guillotines, a stream of repeated news articles about the same few attacks, repeated to false consensus.

      Some people just love to hate things. These types almost always haven’t met many of the creatures/people they hate. They hear about them second-hand, and/or have a few bad experiences, and nothing will ever change their minds after that.

      In nine out of ten cases, it’s just textbook indoctrination. These types tend to be allergic to critical thinking.

        Pit Bulls account for over 70% of fatal dog attacks, while only being 6% of dogs. They deserve their reputation.
