pitbulls and humans have a lot in common. if nobody loves them, they grow into vicious adults. …but of course, you can “never be sure that they won’t suddenly snap and turn on their handler.” well…. i call bullshit. what you’re actually saying is: “i have never been able to train one well enough to be sure that i can take SUCH a risk with my own super important self because society simply can’t spare ME.” why do people give up?
a child stuck its nose through a fence into a pitbulls yard and was bitten. why were there holes in the fence? why an unsupervised minor? a child was hurt and a dog killed because people are stupid and arrogant. if an idiot goes to a zoo and sticks its arm through the fence into a lions cage then has its idiot fingers bitten off, we laugh at the idiot. then the trained handler goes into the enclosure and probably high-fives their collegue. nobody has ever successfully trained the aggression out of people, so how about we all kill ourselves instead of resorting to extermination like usual?
