Pitbulls are a mainly a reflection of the owner, stop blaming the pups.

    Pits are more dangerous than other dog breeds, but not uniquely dangerous. People buy pits because they want a violent dangerous dog, and then train the dog to be just that. It becomes a vicious cycle.

      No they are not. The jaw strength thng ignores what actually matters. The “lockjaw myth” is just that.

      It’s entirely about “what breed is abused the most”. If size mattered Labradors and German shepherds would be maligned. The thing is the people who abuse dogs and then them into weapons (privately, the state does do this to GS/malamute/Belgian shepherds) choose pitbulls (a loose term to begin with). You are correct the oart of your comment that points this out.
