It’s funny, in a not funny way: When someone blows themself up to kill a bunch of innocent people, we just assume it’s a muslim. And guess what? We’re right every time. And then the apologists for “peaceful” muslims come out.
I’m finding that whenever I hear about a person being mauled or killed by a dog, I now just assume it’s a pit bull (or at least a mix). and guess what? I’m right every time.
And then the apologists come out about what nice dogs they are and it must be the owners. Now, I’m actually somewhat sympathetic to that message, but still, you don’t hear about irresponsible owners causing their poodles to maul and kill.
If you get my drift.
I see a lot of parallels here.
A pit bull has huge jaws like a steel trap, regardless of temperament. Use of them is up to the dog.
A dog’s temperament is bred into them. It has little to do with the owners. That’s why labs are service dogs—and the intelligent German Shepherd is a police dog. No K-9 unit EVER goes for a vicious, pig-eyed and stupid pit. Great Pyranees are essential for a herd of small ruminants. (These are a favorite of mine, though way too much dog)—Poodles are circus dogs, balletic and so smart they’re scary...so saying that a vicious breed designed to be gladiators is a “tabula rasa”— what total BS
