      Such hatred for an animal, predisposed to loving people, that has to be abused into being violent. I’m not blocking you because I want to see what other stupid shit you have to say.

        an animal, predisposed to loving people, that has to be abused into being violent.

        (warning: graphic) Pitbull puppies have been known to eat littermates down to the head, even with plenty of food available. Good luck finding a story about a labrador retriever doing that.

        You don’t have to abuse border collies for them to try to herd things.
        You don’t have to abuse beagles for them to obsessively follow their nose.
        You don’t have to abuse terriers for them to dig.

        The extremely dangerous combination of spontaneous aggression and lack of survival instinct (never seen any other breed headbutt a windshield repeatedly from the inside of a car to try and get at something outside, to and beyond the point of laceration/injury) pitbulls exhibit are, like those of the breed groups above, the result of a lot of selective breeding.

        You unfortunately can’t love the genetics out of a pitbull–if you could, there wouldn’t be any shocked loving pitbull owners who were victimized.

          You’re not who I was replying to, but this is exactly the stupid shit I was talking about: cherry picked stories with intentionally inflammatory imagery used to justify unreasonable hatred of an animal that’s popular among POC. Same thing that happened with Rotties. Same thing that happened with Dobies.

      Harmful stereotypes are harmful stereotypes. It’s the owners - not the dogs themselves
