Some of the friendliest dogs I've met were pits. It's not the breed but the idiot who got the dog thinking it'd make him look tough. How you raise and treat the animal makes a huge impact.

It is absolutely the breed. You can assume that shitty owners are pretty equal across all other breeds, yet pit bulls are responsible for the most dog attacks in the US. 6x that of second place. Anyone repeating the misinformation that pit bull attacks are down to the owner entirely are a problem. They all have the potential to become dangerous.

Thats solely in the U.S, yet pits are not just in the U.S. The American Pit is genetically screwed due to over breeding, which again falls on the owners. The animal itself was never the issue, greed and inbreeding for aesthetic purposes which caused health and mental defects is the issue.

You've clearly got a hate on for this animal. So this argument isn't getting anywhere.

Every dog breed is susceptible to the same issues pits are known for given time. There are dozens of defects within every breed that can be traced back to inbreeding, which is a human issue. Humans fucked the dog up is what I'm saying. Shitty owners and bad breeders. Your delusional to just simply blame the animal.

No. I love dogs. What I hate is people defending a dangerous breed that would make the world a better place if we let the lineage die out. Yes, other breeds can be aggressive but nowhere near as frequently. You are the delusional one here. If the breed goes away, they’ll get a different, safer breed and be just as happy and the toddler next door gets to keep its face.

Except that's been tried and failed. Idk where you live but I'm in Ontario. We've banned pits for nearly 20 years. They puts were just replaced with Dobermans, Rottweilers, Corso, etc.

The ban is now in the process of being over turned because there evidence to show that the breed itself isnt the issue. There are pitbulls currently for sale in my town, registered with the city and have been screened, etc. Just do your research and think logically about the issue.

“Do your research”. The mantra of people who get their research from YouTube videos and word of mouth. Regardless of what you’re saying, it’s a problem in the USA and the breed there should be banned, but you disagreed and made a statement that the breed isn’t the problem. Also, if the ban is overturned in Canada, where do you think most of them are coming from? USA probably. Let the lineage end.

I'm guessing most of our "research" is dog experience amd not YouTube. I'm guessing differently for you. Mine is based in experience.

The "breed" is not the problem. Stop believing gossip you hear and listen to people who actually know what the heck they are talking about. You might learn something.

Like, for starters, did you know that "Pit Bull" is not a breed? It's actually a term that embraces a few different breeds. These dogs share similar characteristics, including High intelligence, trainability and ability to do damage (protect you) if needed. These attributes are what allow people to abuse them, train them to fight and make close-minded people think they are evil. They aren't. They are dogs. Nanny dogs in fact. Much more you could learn about them if you opened your mind and educated yourself.

Yeah, not like there are statistics or anything that give you more insight than personal experience. Sure, maybe calling it a breed in it’s self is a misnomer, but as a group they are a problem.

They simply aren't. They are the most abused dogs in the the country. Ever met a person who was abused and later acted out? Should they be banned?? Trust me dear, I know dogs. You are just wrong. But since you seem to believe you know everything about how brains are wired, you must understand why yours is so small and hateful. I'm sorry if you've had a bad experience. Doesn't sound like it, seems you've just developed an opinion of disgust. To each their own. But don't encourage killing dogs you don't know. That's gross. They are God's creatures. Leave animals alone. All of them.

Your little chihuahua is actually more likely to bite than a pitty anyway. Actually

Educate yourself. Nanny dogs are a myth. Even the biggest pit bull support organizations have LONG agreed that this is completely untrue and there is no basis in fact for it whatsoever.

People like you are an embarrassment.

Um no. You are wrong. Thus has been well documented for decades, if not centuries. Your hatred towards animals you don't know makes you an embarrassment and I'd even argue a bad person. It's breed racism and it's despicable. Shush and respect gods creatures.
