Statistics don’t lie. Pit bulls were not bred to be companion animals. They don’t make safe reliable family pets.
You see a lot of rescues really working to get pit bulls sanitized by saying “dogs aren’t born with certain tendencies”. In some circles they’ve become virtue-signaling fashion accessories. The trendy new pet.
Knowledgeable dog groups are countering with photos of sporting breeds pointing birds (with different breeds retrieving them) and of herding dogs putting sheep exactly where the shepherd indicates.
Pit Bulls require socialization, training and restraint. The average dog lover is woefully unprepared for that kind of responsibility. The criminals want to enhance Cujo’s aggression.
