They are dangerous for several reasons not just because they are strong.
A ridgeback is probably stronger but is a much safer dog to have around. Because they are controllable.
Once a pit bull goes into kill mode there is very little you can do to controll it. It will keep killing until it is sated or until something kills it. Their strength of course is a major factor in people being unable to physically control them.
I agree with you, I was just using this argument.
I use it with people all the time that say it’s the owner’s fault. It isn’t, the best trained pit bulls will go into aggro mode and tear %&$# up.
I don’t disagree that pit bulls can be sweet/adorable/good dogs. It’s just the random chaotic element that makes them dangerous + their strength and super aggressiveness when they feel threatened, or want to kill.
“A ridgeback is probably stronger but is a much safer dog...”
We had a Rhodie when I was a kid. She was the sweetest darned dog I ever met. (And I don’t particularly like dogs as a rule.)
