Yes - and the questions still stand. The fact that human error was involved is not negated by the dog’s actions. Lack of responsible ownership is the problem - not the dog breed or, in this case, type (since the pit bull is not a breed per se.)
Because if I leave the gate open on a couple Labrador retrievers they would be out in the street in seconds all OVER that 70 year old lady.... sniffing her and trying to get her to pet them.
If you have a caged beast that is ready and ABLE to kill the second it gets out...... no, couldn't be the breed.
After all, it isn't like dogs have personalities to go with their intended function.... Oh wait THEY DO!
Dogs bred to fight and kill..... fight and kill. Pits were bred to fight and kill.
How much time and effort would it take to train an animal to rip off a 70+ year old lady’s scalp? The human factor goes both ways. It is irrelevant when it comes to pits. You’ve got your reasons for liking them. I have my reasons for not liking them. I don’t promote ‘killing them all’ or anything like that. Just feel safer next to a gator.
