I'm not sure what to believe, but i heard that "pitbull" isn't really a breed of dog, and rather a label applied to any dog that was trained to fight. So fighting dogs fight. No surprise there. But this certainly makes it sound like it's not the dogs to blame for the injuries, but the POS humans who trained them to fight.
The American pitbull is a breed, though there are others.
The dogs are notorious for their violence and literally were bred to fight. If you think a Labrador retriever is naturally a good retriever because it's been bred for those traits it's not exactly hard to see how a dog bred for generations to literally kill for sport might be problematic.
First of all, pitbulls are a breed of dog. Don't be ignorant and look it up.
Second of all, ofc we don't blame the dogs, non-sapient beings who don't even know what blame is ๐๐๐.
But the same way you don't blame a gun and still leave it out of reach of children, you need to muzzle and cage dangerous dogs who were bred for fighting. Simple as.
Edit: I hope the children of people who downvoted me have plenty of access to guns and pitbulls, since clearly I'm wrong in your eyes ๐.
Edit 2: Oh and if you disagree and report me for violence, you're a hypocrite. Since those are the things I'm saying to keep away from anyone to begin with.
