Oh, come on with that false equivalency BS. Owners can choose what breeds to buy (or just take in a stray), which also determines what gets bred! Pitbulls as a breed in general do tend to have higher aggression, that’s just a fact. And it’s well-documented by vets, breeders, groomers, etc.
That’s a little different than the war crimes of one dead racist guy who lived half a century ago…
Hi scientist here, I actually ran a study during my cursus about this and i didn’t find any significant difference between ‘dangerous breeds’ and others.
The literature I found confirmed this hypothesis. If you have an article confirming this fact i would gladly appreciate it. If necessary i can give you some articles to read.
As far as I’m aware it does not appear to be a fact.
I don’t have a dog in this fight (heh) but no one arguing the other side has presented any evidence either. In my anecdotal evidence, it’s seems more that certain breeds are more powerful, so when they’re improperly trained, they cause more damage so they get more headlines
Also, those breeds attract a certain type of owner that either don’t train them or train them to be aggressive.
Worked for a dog and cat boarding facility many moons ago. Of all my interactions with various breeds from private owners to our almost constant stream of rescued pitbulls - we were temporarily hosting/caring for. Only one breed almost took off my finger.
I needed stitches, the lead vet had to flood the wound with iodine and antibiotics.
Yep, they just need some love and gentle care and training. I have a half-pit and the only things she’s aggressive with is small critters. She really loves killing them though.
When you gotta maul toddlers but also you’re a dog about town
What if I described you by the worst your species has done?
I don’t think you would like it, Hitler.

Can I see the study somewhere?

I’m sure someone on either side will show up, and provide evidence… that evidence must exist, this must have been studied… right?
I dunno, maybe not.
edit: Neither side is providing any studies, but both sides are downvoting me. Very cool.
No one wants to know the truth about what the most dangerous breed of dog is.

I made my point.
