It's a hell of a lot easier to fix Earth for continued living than it is to make Mars in any way habitable.

The icecaps didn't always exist, and they can reform. It will take a long time mind you.

I don't feel like digging up the study I read a little while back, it was reviewed paper based on hospitalization data for dog bites, and I honestly don't give a shit if you believe me because nothing will change your mind about that shit breed.

And pits contaminate every breed they touch, pit mutts are violent unpredictable shits too, and are the result of most of the non-pit attacks out there.

And fuck off with the racist claims, everyone I know who owns a pit is white as fuck.

And yet Pitbulls and pit mixes account for 85% of fatal dog attacks. Poodles account for 0%.

And studies have shown bad and neglectful owners only account for about 20% of dog attacks, so yeah, pitbulls suck as a breed.

But there are a lot of mosquitos, and the infertile males won't fully displace the healthy male population, so it's unlikely the population will ever dip too low to drive them to extinction.

Have you never heard of Paradox games before? They are indeed very intricate, though great games once you learn them.

Which would have far reaching consequences on other insectivores. Also, it's not a foolproof solution we've created, the infertile male mosquitos will reduce the wild populations numbers, but likely not make them extinct.

Pitbulls were bred from bull terriers to be a bigger version. So it's not surprising a different breed of terrier is also prone to biting.

Bull terrier

You mean the breed that pitbulls were made out of?

Also puppies are a lot less of a worry than grown dogs.

I don’t doubt their temperament is fine

Pits have an incredibly strong prey drive, and once they decide to attack something they almost never stop. So no, they don;t have the best temperament.

Pugs should be banned as well

There's at least a retro-pug movement now that is working to breed the overly shortened snout out of pugs, and make them a healthier breed.

Everyone I know that has been severely bitten by a dog it was a pitbull owned by a white person. Fuck off this this racism dogwhistle shit. Pits are an unpredictable and dangerous breed.

But we have a choice to allow pitbulls as pets. We don't have much of a choice about the existence of mosquitos.
