    Pitbulls were “bred to fight” animals, not humans…

    Lots of other breeds were bred specifically to attack humans…

    Despite all the other issues with your logic, why wouldnt you focus on guard dogs that are explicitly bred and trained to attack and cause serious harm to humans?

      Muscle is muscle. Physics of the dog doesn’t change due to the intent of the breeder. Pugs weren’t explicitly bred to be a physical trainwreck and yet they are and denying that because the breeder was not actively selecting for those traits would be an insane argument. The physics of attacking an “animal” is not very different than the physics of attacking a human (who is actually a very weak and fragile animal)

      Pointless loaded sentence that offers nothing to the conversation

      why wouldnt you focus on guard dogs that are explicitly bred and trained to attack

      A) That wasn’t the topic at hand

      B) I never stated that pit bulls are the only problematic breeds. It was the very first sentence in my comment. You couldn’t even read that far?

      C) There aren’t nearly as many noisy defenders of those breeds. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. It’s a topic of discussion because defenders make it a topic of discussion.

        When you say “pitbull” which of the 12 breeds are you discussing? What about mutts? An insane amount of “pitbulls” are actually mutts, many with little to no actual pitbull in them
