(4,454 posts)Race is a set of physical characteristics in H. sapiens that generally differ based on geographic isolation and have been an entirely natural phenomenon, while breeds of dog are variants resulting entirely from artificial selection by humans. Very different. Additionally, if you equate the two, then not only does breed=race, but race=breed. Pick any ethnic group of human and tell them that their race is equivalent to a dog breed and see how that goes over.
I wasn't offended at the pics of happy people hugging their pets, nor do I get freaked out in the least by love and affection. Nice try at a Hannity-type redirect (e.g., "don't you love America? Do you hate freedom?" , but it was such a clumsy try that it actually made me laugh. The real issue here, which you have completely failed to address, is that you make very different demands for identifying pit bulls in your own posts, and from people linking articles about attacks. In the former, just a picture will do. In the latter, there are demands for AKC papers and DNA tests.
So I ask again, where are the papers, and where are the tests? No redirects, no excuses. Where are they? According to your own standards as applied to newspaper articles about attacks, your "mutilation" and "huggy" posts are completely invalid.
One last thing: because you accused me of some kind of sadistic personality, I'll note that your first instinct was to post mutilation pics before the happy people hugging pets. Perhaps a little self-analysis is in order?
