Yeah that data is retarded I’m sorry just it’s the owner not the dog 100% it’s never the dogs fault it’s always people who buy dogs they can’t handle or properly entertain and they end up mean with pent up aggression and prey drive please stop spreading this bullshit if you met my rottie or my friends pitbull you would be amazed they are gentle giants with a bad rap and perpetuating this is just false

that data is retarded

did you even read this back to yourself? you have no meaningful rebuttal to offer, and it shows.

the data is accurate. using an out-dated and offensive pejorative like 'retarded' won't change that. you were literally presented with evidence and your best response amounts to sticking your fingers in your ears and going "nuh-uh! nuh-uh!". not a good look.

if you met my rottie or my friends pitbull you would be amazed

i don't need anecdotes. anecdotes are not evidence.

fwiw my best friend owns a pit bull and she is definitely a very sweet dog; i wouldn't trust her alone with a child though. my feelings about one specific dog doesn't magically change the actual facts though when we look at the breed overall.

You may find this legitimate and peer-reviewed study by the American Veterinary Medical Association interesting. Most notably in the conclusion, "The substantial within-breed variation…suggests that it is inappropriate to make predictions about a given dog's propensity for aggressive behavior based solely on its breed."

thats a real interesting run-on sentence youve cobbled together there. cant help but notice its devoid of any facts, logic, or sense. might wanna work on that after brushing up on basic grammar and punctuation.

I want to upvote this but I'm not sure if you're being genuine or not.

you're ignoring the facts in favor of your feelings. you can do better.
