Trust me people, it’s not all NATURE, most of it is NURTURE. Every dog has an individual personality, every responsible owner has to understand that personality and DEAL with it.
Having some experience with a stray pit bull (American Staffordshire Terrier) that "adopted" us, as well as a few other instances (esp. one former neighbor's dog) I mostly agree with that, but, problem is, I don't think 10 % of owners can handle these dogs in all circumstances. Including myself.
I have no issue with accepting the fact that there are some particular individual dogs that could be labeled ‘vicious’
nor with the fact that there are some irresponsible owners of dogs.
What irritates me is fanatic fools that post idiotic things on FR like...
“Eradicate the dogs of peace”
or
“Every pit bull owner is a criminal.”
or
“The only good pit bull owner is a ....”*
Instead of advocating for Responsible Dog Ownership and effective animal control laws, rigorously applied, as do Freedom-loving Individualists.
They act like a bunch of leftard SJWs out to force people to conform to their narrow-minded, over-simplified prejudices.**

** “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated;
but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
