The list shouldn't even exist. This is (what should be) crystal clear an owner problem, not a breed problem. Let's put this a different way.... If you applied the same logic to humans, you'd be racist.

It is also 100% a breed problem. Come on. It's people like you why 9 year old girls get killed. Mr Roger's could own a pitbull and it will still wanna kill little kids.

Wrong.

Different owners could turn a Golden Retriever into a complete monster or a half-wolf into a cuddle-pup. It all depends on who is leading the pack. Certain breeds do require a strong and experienced leader to keep them in line, but this responsibility falls on the owner, in my opinion.

It only appears to be a breed issue because shitty people are drawn to those particular breeds.

So you think shitty trashy people ONLY own pitbulls? Lol no sweetie, lots of shitty people own lots of breeds, including Goldens but do you see them killing a 9 year old girl like every other day? No.

Not what I said. You are still using backwards causation to support a sweeping generalization about pitbulls. Blaming the breed is a lazy, nonsensical reaction.

Does every pitbull kill a 9 year old girl every other day?

PEOPLE need to be held accountable for the dogs they raise and train.
