It’s kind of funny how the idea of behavior being a result of breeding goes out the window when it comes to pitbulls. Retrievers naturally retrieve, collies naturally herd, but when a murder-canine eats a family it’s all “oh it could have been any breed”.
it's more nuanced - "pitbull" isn't a single breed, it's a category
none of the dogs in the category were bred to kill indiscriminately - they were expected to obey handlers just like any other working breed
and there are a number of fighting breeds outside of the category as well
Obey handlers to do what?
to not bite people! it's the compact between species that is the reason dogs were allowed to become dogs!
but yes it's a bit irresponsible to allow the proliferation of some strong breeds, breeding should be a serious crime... these dogs are all over the southern us
It’s just wokery innit. Can’t even train dogs to murder children nowadays because the woke brigade will cancel you.
