The one thing you said with which I agree is the issue of individual responsibility. That is always the issue - ALWAYS. As for it being in a particular breed’s DNA to be vicious - sorry, it’s not. Granted because of their biological make-up some breeds can do more damage than others when they bite, and some breeds are naturally protective - but that doesn’t mean the breed needs to be “put down” or “allowed to go extinct”. Good grief!!

If its not bred into the breed, why do retrievers retrieve, pointers point and herding dogs herd...Its bred into them for generations. Like viciousness is bred into pits, that is what they were bred for, bull baiting and fighting. It could be bred out of them by care full breeding, but it takes decades for it to be done...

Thoroughbreds run, draft horse's love to pull. I had a husky that took to pulling like a duck takes to water...

Not everyone turns a blind eye to vicious breeds.

Those that call chet a hater because he is the messenger are not the sharpest knife in the drawer..
