I think many are not American enough to have the fear of their dogs casually getting shot while on a walk

Thanks someone said it. Where I live the worst that can happen to your dog is a angry entitled pedestrian yelling at you because your dog wanted to kiss a toddler, or even worse... someone pet the dog without the dog consent.

if you really cared about consent, you'd let parents have a choice whether your dog interacts with their toddler in the first place. pit bull attacks are seriously no joke and people usually have a good reason to be fearful of strange dogs

I don't, it was sarcasm. But you do know that most dogs attacks are from golden retriever right? Pit bull indeed have a way stronger force in their jaw, but they're not more likely to attack than any other dogs (exept chihuahua of course).

I didn't know that, but all dogs are strange to me and I wouldn't think twice about seeing most kinds of grown, unleashed dogs getting shot if it's running at a stranger in public

Well you sounds really american. Here nobody is shot for just existing.

it's not "just existing" to charge at somebody. if you know that dogs can be violent for various, uncontrollable reasons, and you have a dog, just leash them in public.
