      Yeah, what does the MTA care as long as the dog’s not getting into trouble?

    I love all the cute animal in bags pictures coming from New York because of this rule. I still think that was the main reason they implemented this

      What if I described you by the worst your species has done?

      I don’t think you would like it, Hitler.

        Oh, come on with that false equivalency BS. Owners can choose what breeds to buy (or just take in a stray), which also determines what gets bred! Pitbulls as a breed in general do tend to have higher aggression, that’s just a fact. And it’s well-documented by vets, breeders, groomers, etc.

        That’s a little different than the war crimes of one dead racist guy who lived half a century ago…

          Hi scientist here, I actually ran a study during my cursus about this and i didn’t find any significant difference between ‘dangerous breeds’ and others. The literature I found confirmed this hypothesis. If you have an article confirming this fact i would gladly appreciate it. If necessary i can give you some articles to read. As far as I’m aware it does not appear to be a fact.

      He could have found something with more than a string for a handle. That’s gotta hurt to carry.

        Looks improvised imo. Maybe he didn’t know and had to bag the dog somehow . At least the dog looks pretty comfy lol

          Maybe for short times, but I’ve heard about dogs getting paralyzed at the groomers’ from being put in a harness for too long. Veins get pinched. And that’s with a harness meant for dogs, not something improvised like this.

    The NYC subway banned dogs on trains unless they fit into a small bag, so this guy trained his Pitbull to sit in a small bag

    Well, pitbulls aren’t dangerous, bad trainers with a pitbull are dangerous.

    This guy is clearly a good trainer with a pitbull.

        I’m not who you asked but it’s been 4 hours and I don’t think they’re coming back. Imo pits are dangerous unless properly trained. I have 2 I rescued as puppies and if I let them do whatever the fuck they wanted they’d either he shot or put down by now. They’re good dogs but require attention or else they’ll be bad dogs. Kind of like huskies.
