I do not want to downplay how serious an attack from other dog breeds can be, but pit bulls are a breed that was bred for fighting. By that I mean physically the dog was “engineered” for the task. Even if dog attacks occurred across all breeds at the exact same rate, the pit bull will still be more dangerous on average.
This is also ignoring the cultural aspect of it all. Pit bulls have had a long history of attracting some of the worst owners whether they deliberately raise the dog for fighting or are simply negligent, the outcome is increased danger and not just for yourself or your family.
You want to put yourself and your family in danger? Great. Have at it. But expecting me to be put at an increased risk of danger? No. Fuck off.
Pitbulls were “bred to fight” animals, not humans…
Lots of other breeds were bred specifically to attack humans…
Despite all the other issues with your logic, why wouldnt you focus on guard dogs that are explicitly bred and trained to attack and cause serious harm to humans?

Muscle is muscle. Physics of the dog doesn’t change due to the intent of the breeder. Pugs weren’t explicitly bred to be a physical trainwreck and yet they are and denying that because the breeder was not actively selecting for those traits would be an insane argument. The physics of attacking an “animal” is not very different than the physics of attacking a human (who is actually a very weak and fragile animal)
Despite all the other issues with your logic
Pointless loaded sentence that offers nothing to the conversation
why wouldnt you focus on guard dogs that are explicitly bred and trained to attack
B) I never stated that pit bulls are the only problematic breeds. It was the very first sentence in my comment. You couldn’t even read that far?
C) There aren’t nearly as many noisy defenders of those breeds. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. It’s a topic of discussion because defenders make it a topic of discussion.

Inre pugs, at no point did design enter into the equation
