      If you’re a dog owner and you’re paying attention, then your personal experience should include the following truth: any dog can go postal. If you then combine this with the knowledge that pitbulls are much more deadly than other dogs when being agressive, then you must reach the conclusion that this breed should be banned, even though that is admittedly a sad conclusion.

        Pitbulls are not the deadliest dog out there. Not by a long shot. They’re just the ones people like to make aggressive.

          Except they are, though. They’re bred to be as deadly as possible. This is a verifiable fact.

            There are dogs that are bred to help bring down bears. Some asshole breeding for noise and muscle does not make the most dangerous dog.

              Pitbulls are the most deadly breed of dog, to humans. This is a solid concrete fact. There are reasons for this, and evidence to back it up. Your thing about bears is irrelevant, unless those dogs have been proven to be more dangerous to humans than pitbulls, which they haven’t.

                Sure, just ignore all context. Big number bad. Keep playing whack a mole wondering why the problem never gets fixed.

                  Problem is pitbulls. Fix with ban. Simple. Context is evidence. Context is bloodthirsty breeding program. Understand?

                    Except it isn’t. Pitbulls were already banned weren’t they? This is literally the next breed and just another brand. It’s happening before your eyes and you still can’t see it.

          It’s important to understand what people mean when they say things. These people aren’t saying that pit bulls are more physically capable of killing people than any other breed, they’re saying that they’re responsible for more deaths than any other breed.

          It’s a bit like saying the flu is deadler than ebola. Ebola may have a higher mortality rate, but it’s so much less likely to infect people that it has a much smaller kill count.

          I know a handful of pits who have bitten and severely injured people. For your positive anecdote there is a negative to match.

              Technically it is disengenuous to say statistically and then make up a statistic

                  Assuming an average lifespan of roughly 10 years, there’s a roughly 1 in 1,000 chance that a given pit bull will ever attack a human or animal.

                  So 1 in every 1000 will attack a human? Is that actually a good argument for pit bulls?

                    Its like saying 95% of catholic priests have not molested a child, meaning 1 in 20 definitely have, lol.

          Can this possibly be true?
          If a dog switches to aggressive mode and stops listening to commands, trying to attack (another dog, a cat, a deer, a bird, a human) that’s what I mean by “going postal”. In most cases they are restrained on leash. The outcome, and the target (for the sake of this argument) are not important. It is not possible to predict accurately when they will do this.
