‘Those tools have nothing to do with dogs, dogs are autonomous. A car or gun is never going to hurt a stranger on its own, they just sit there inanimately. Doing harm requires conscious, intentional action by a person. The closest tool comparison to make to a vicous animal would be a landmine.”
100% false.
How does a dog become ‘mean’? Less than 5% of all dogs have a mental disorder. Discounting that, you are left with dogs born and raised. And just like kids, if they are abused they become ‘abusive’. Except a dog doesn’t understand things like ‘rule of law’ nor the concept of imprisonment. And except in general terms, they don’t get ‘right or wrong’ at all, concerning concepts we produced from our brains which are unique on this planet.
The only animal on this planet that kills for the reasons many wrongly attribute to any of the ‘scary dogs’ are HUMAN.
Likewise, the only way you get a ‘vicious dog’ is via abuse of the dog by the owner/handler.
Ask your vet.
The same way a dog becomes a digger or a barker or a sighthound, they're bred for it. Pit bulls are bred for aggression. That can usually be suppressed by a responsible owner, but it will always be what they revert to when training fails.
I don't need to ask my vet anything, she's a medical professional not a criminologist.
