I think it’s a casual argument. People are saying pitbulls are not inherently more violent, they just tend to be the dog of choice for people who want violent (guard) dogs. They are then taught violent behaviors by their owners.
I believe that dog breeds have inherent traits that they are bred for. Yes of course the nature vs nurture argument always comes into play but it’s not a coincidence some dogs love water and will naturally point without any training and others won’t.
Also that’s not even getting into the physical make up of a pit bull. They just are more dangerous by that alone, higher bite force, harder to get them to let go, fat head, big chomps - I think it’s irresponsible and morally reprehensible for them to be bred.
Short of mass euthanasia they are not going away but I wholeheartedly believe they shouldn’t be rehomed or kept in shelters so I suppose inevitably my belief would lead to them being euthanized instead of ever adopted out.
There is no good solution and I get people have pitbulls that don’t attack or harm people but their proclivity for violence is well documented and understood. It’s just that people would rather believe their feels over facts and black and white statistics.
Anecdotally speaking, I walk around town for exercise and I’ve crossed paths with a disproportionate number of Pit bulls/Pit mixes and the only dog to ever bite me while I was out was a goddamn Bichon Frisé.
every pit i’ve met has been a huge sweetie, and i’m instinctively scared of dogs since i got bit when i was a small child. i think they can smell it and turn on the love, kind of like when a cat can tell you’re allergic and wants to make you more allergic.
english bulldogs, on the other hand, i am not comfortable with. maybe it’s because the one family in town who has them are assholes.
Lol, what is this dumb shit? Obviously you can rank it when pitbulls are consistently the breed with the highest violence and attacks.

I think you meant causal but I get your point.

Haha yes, I did mean causal.
The first dog to bite me was a schnauzer.
They’re obviously inherently violent and must all be put down.

Cool, back that up with data then, because my numbers are fact. Yours seem like something a child would have written.
lol it’s the asshole owners. Pits with good owners have no issues, it’s why it’s not 100% of pits.

Your Message is Crazy Anecdotal
So yeah, it’s the YMCA
It’s social media not a submission to Nature
Yep tell that to the people harassing me for my choice of source while providing nothing at all in return.
