Well, much like a related controversial group, pit-related bites and fatalities are exacerbated by shitty culture. However, if you spend enough time with them, you realize you just can't relax. It's in their genetics, they'll break at random moments and tear whatever's closest to them apart. The most regretful thing about it is that the dog is put down and the owner is free to get another toddler mauler. The bottom line is, as I said before, there's really only one breed of dog that requires active training to not instinctively kill other dogs. As for blacks, I have no idea what to tell you, man. They tend to ruin everything they touch.

Your posts but especially this one indicate much expertise and experience handling different breeds of dogs, including this one. I am not sure they they should be banned outright, but perhaps require a higher level of scrutiny before owning one.

We all know how the genetic die has been cast on here. Not to say all of course but enough. There are whites who have done shitty things to cats but there seems to be a pretty glaring disproportionately here, just like violent crime in general.

As I indciated in another post, I had a "long distance" friend, email pen pal. We shared the hobby of finescale military modelling. I made the mistake of showing him a picture of what was then our only cat. He made a joke about harming him because he did some pretty light damage to a model in progress. Told him it was not funny, not to do that. Bout a week later he confided he killed "quite a few cats." I gave him an opportunity to explain, eg a chicken farmer who is contending with a colony of ferals or someting. I actually feel quilty about showing him a picture of my cat, sorta like showing a picture of one's young daughter to someone who is later revealed to be pedophile.
