If Americans can own pitbulls and take them to parks why can't I own a grizzly bear and take it to parks to?

Grizzly bears aren't inherently violent or aggressive like other animals, if you are abusive to a grizzly bear they will attack and snap and kill people like a pitbull if you are abusive to it.

Animal domesticated over thousands of years in a mutually beneficial partnership vs wild animal that hasn’t been domesticated and when confronted with humans said fuck around and find out. Gee I wonder why one is legal and the other isn’t.


Dog parks in general though are awful. Disease runs rampant, irresponsible owners with poorly trained dogs and oftentimes a fight breaks out because there is no order, and most aren’t very interactive. And legality of certain dog breeds varies from country to country.

Untrue.

Not all Americans can own all dogs in all parts of the country. Some cities have ignorant bans on certain breeds, placed by people who wrongly believe that a breed is dangerous over the people who raised/bred it.

You should move to Russia for that lol. Bears there are more popular than dogs and they definitely be keeping you warm during the Russian winter. Jokes aside, bears are social creatures, keeping only one bear around humans most of the time, is very unhealthy for them and it will lead to depression and anger that WILL lead to attack.

I offer the story of Timothy Treadwell as an example of why you should not.

Bears are not domesticated and not all pitbulls are mean that's usually because of pos owners who trained them that way

The Grizzly bear would own you and drag you around like it's pet.

[allogenis96]

And how's that different from a pitbull?

[Opinion Owner]

I'm not really for people having pitbulls within city limits or wherever there's children either. They're both just a bad idea.

[Sparkie460]

Because owning a dog is legal. Owning a grisly bear is illegal. You'll go to jail for having a bear

I love the question and your opinion

[User3191989]

it's illegal to own any kind of bear
