There are many many species of Lupine, many are native to North America. The fancy garden ones in multiple colors are European and there may be invasive species but thats very difficult to tell from just seed pods.

Ok, I'm watching some videos now and this actually looks kinda badass, albeit in the nerdiest way possible. I would go watch something like this.

>Pit bulls actually pass the temperament test with a score much higher than most dogs. But of course if you weren't so happy in your ignorance you'd know this fact. It's not a dogs fault if its owner is a piece of shit.
The test you're talking about, the ATTS, was created in 1977 by Alfons Ertel, a printer, not an animal behaviorist. He was into schutzhund and created the test to evaluate German shepherds for their suitability as guard dogs. The test favors bold, assertive dogs that aren’t easily intimidated: timid dogs, such as Collies, do not do well on the test, while aggressive dogs, such as pit bulls, do exceptionally well.
Most pit bulls that attack and kill family members -- usually children or the elderly -- were raised from puppies and treated well all their lives. A good example is the two pit bulls that killed the children of pit nutters Colby and Kirstie Bennard in Tennessee last October. The Bennards referred to the monsters as their "house lions" and in one of his Facebook comments, Colby Bennard wrote, “I can assure you, nobody will take Cheech and Mia from myself and Kirstie Jane Satterfield. Ignorance is no excuse to take so many 'best friends' out of this world.” (Bennard apparently had a change of heart because the day after his beloved “pitties” literally ripped his two children to shreds, both dogs were euthanized.)

We do. This is a full contact sport with blunted steel weapons in steel armor. This isn’t dress up.

Are there any groups like this that do, you know...actual combat? Meaning that they at least make it rough enough to make it feel like something is actually at stake, as opposed to just playing dress-up?
Serious question, I'm genuinely quite curious.

Fucking assholes would probably set them to manual just to turn them off in the rain.

We should be telling everyone that they're different regardless. White suburbanites should be more scared of these nutbags than critical race theory.

I doubt you've known many pit bulls if you classify them as aggressive. Every pit bull I've had or known has been super gentle.
