"The most common of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind" H. L. Mencken
[[I don’t really believe pitbull are vicious.]]
Most victims of pit bull attacks/maulings never beleived they were vicious either- These dogs are bred for combat- it’s i ntheir DNA- even if they seem calm- at any point htye could explode and you NEVER know what might set them off-
I took care of bison, and for them ost part, they were very calm- BUT you could NEVER turn your back o nthem even if you ‘made friends’ with them and if they seemed docile- I also knew a nieghbor who owned bison and two years ago, after havign been aroudn htem all his life, was gored through the stomach by what he felt was a harmless pet- He survived by was horribly disfigued-
Timothy treadwell felt he ‘knew’ grizzlies- coudl trust them, could gain their trust- he even exposed his naieve girlfriend to them and bnoth of them paid for their ignorance with their lives
