    But I whole heartedly believe that pit bulls by nature were meant to be farm dogs. And if you get one and raise them from birth in a good and loving home than bites won’t happen. With this statistic did any owner say that yea I hurt my dog but only because he or she deserved it…etc etc etc. I didn’t think so. No one man or animal is inherently mean. That is a learned behavior. And with all avenues of information getting to people and children is more likely going to be people who are mean. But born that way. Fuck No. Anyone feel free to prove me wrong for this discussion.

      It’s pretty well known they were bred to be fighting dogs for blood sports. It doesn’t mean they end up that way, but intervention is needed in places other breeds do not require it.

      The real question is “why would you believe that?”

      They were bred to kill bulls, bears, and rats, in pits so that none of the animals could escape.

      Truly one of the worst takes I have ever read. What you “believe” means nothing.

      Pitbulls were bred to be as aggressive and strong as possible. They are literally attack dogs made for fighting.

      It’s a shit breed that should be made illegal, period.
