I don't know enough about pitbulls to know how much of it is the "culture" that is attracted to them. Did you read the story about the black hood who roasted a kitten alive?

I think it's a half and half thing, pitbulls are naturally aggressive and stupid, but are also usually owned by genetic trash. However, while some pitbulls might be trained well enough to go their whole lives without biting people, the fact that they are more prone to biting people is enough to demonstrate a genetic component. Obviously it's absurd to believe all dogs need to be taught not to bite a toddler's face off, I say as someone that has raised a lot of dogs in my life. In reality, it's just a bad scenario when a naturally stupid and violent animal is raised by naturally stupid and violent people, begging for events like your OP to happen.

And yeah, I read it. Business as usual with those soulless people. I don't even support sending them back to Africa because I wouldn't want to curse the majestic African wildlife with more blacks.

Some pit bull apologists insist it bc of a culture but I find that hard to believe entirely.

Concerning Cheyenne Cherry, it is one of the most horrible things I have ever read in that it is sweeterinto my brain even 13 years later.

My lady and I have two cats, just can't imagine doing that to such a pure innocent animal. Certain people on the other hand ...

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.
