      The most unfriendly dog I ever walked as a volunteer for a dog rescue was a black lab named Charlie. Instantly wanted to tear the throat out of anyone who looked at him.

      Black labs are inherently violent. They should all be put down.

        You know damn well we’re talking about aggregate numbers and breed specific traits, like being bred to be aggressive. I’m not acting like a single dog is what I’m talking about and your rebuttal of a single dog vs talking about trends and large numbers across the country is disingenuous.

          Corgis are herding dogs. They’re bred to nip at the heels of animals like sheep. They’ll do this to children, too. Toddlers.

          They’re bred this way on purpose. They’re inherently violent and should all be put down.

            Touched a nerve with ya, eh? It’s funny you think a Corgi occasionally nipping, which is easily trained out, is somehow equivalent to a mauling by a pitbull.

            I get it you’re just upset that you own or love pit bills and can’t just see how much of a menace they are to other dogs and people. Maybe it’s just a coincidence that most of the dogs that snap suddenly on kids are pit mixes.

            But I’ve seen first hand the difference between a pitbull attack and those of other dogs, we all know which we would rather be on the end of. We all know which causes more harm and destruction. Bury your head in the sand, that’s fine.

              It’s a dumb as fuck argument because pit bulls are no more dangerous than a similarly sized dog of any other breed.

              “I would rather be bit by a 20lbs kickable dog than a 40-80lbs dog with actual size” is not some type of profound statement.

              I wonder how much time people like you actually spend around dogs? Everyone who I’ve met who actually does, knows pretty well that breed is very poor indicator of aggression.

              Yeah, man. I’ve completely lost my shit and you’re cool as a cucumber.

              Not sure why you support dog attacks on toddlers. Seems wrong to me.
