Hey truthguy, I 100% agree with your asssesment!
I grew up with these dogs and saw them kill - yes kill many other dogs. Not proud of it, it was a “family thing”. If you’ve seen a dog that was bred to fight bears, boars, and other dogs kill another dog by grabbing its neck in its teeth and swinging it in the air, it doesn’t take much imagination to know what that looks like with a child or woman. The problem with pits is 1) they are powerful so an attack is more likely to be fatal, 2) they were bred to kill so relish it once they’ve been taught or tasted it.
Anyone who thinks animals can’t have behavior bred into them is in denial or totally misinformed. It’s not about “nurture”, it’s nature, i.e. genetic. Just witness the studies of wolves, which all dogs come from. A wolf can never be made to behave like a dog, even though it has 99.99% of a dogs genes. The dog genetically evolved over thousands of years to have a symbiotic relationship with man. Some fools made the mistake of creating a breed of dog specifically for the sport of killing. Now a bunch of idiots have anthropomorphic illusions that rightly identifying pit bulls as genetically dangerous is like human racism. The scientists can’t say these things around laymen without losing their jobs or credibility, but they certainly know the truth, if they aren’t also in denial.
I saw a tiny woman with a 90-100 lb. pit bull dragging her along, barking and violently trying to chew on someones Golden Retriever.
I was at a stop light on my way to work and saw the whole thing. Couple with two dogs were taking a morning walk and some lady (tattoos, fat, piercings) had a pit bull crossing the same crosswalk...the idiot dog started lunging and attacking the Golden’s...and the loser meth asshat was too strung out and small to hold it back...luckily, the couple jogged off before any real damage was done.
Why can’t the crackhead buy a schnauzer? Because her loser drug dealer boyfriend wants to look tough and protect his stash.
