Dog bite severity varies by the breed of dog, and studies have found that pit bull–type dogs have both a high rate of reported bites and a high rate of severe injuries, compared to other non–pit bull–type dogs.

Pit bull–type dogs are extensively used in the United States for dogfighting, a practice that has continued despite being outlawed. Several nations and jurisdictions restrict the ownership of pit bull–type dogs through breed-specific legislation.

Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules:

• No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
• No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
• Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
• Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
• The circlejerk is a zoo not an orgy; censor user and comm names, don't name instances, and don't go on the instance to dogpile/brigade.

We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

As witches, we're all navigating this wizard dominated world together. Let's help each other out with humour, supportive messages, advice, and everything in-between.
