Even if it’s a Beagle? Look, Pit Bulls get a bad rap because of irresponsible owners. Any dog can be trained to be vicious. Rotweilers, German Shepards, Doberman Pinchers...hell, even a Labrador Retriever can be raised not to know the difference between protection and maliciousness. With all of the previous threats he made, this should come as no surprise. He was out to get those dogs, anyway.
Exactly.
That's not why pit bulls have a "bad rap." They have a bad rap because the breed has earned it with their killings and maulings across the country. A pit bull that suddenly goes into attack mode is a killer, unlike chihuahuas.
