First of all pitbulls are dogs first. They’re not wild animals: they’re domestic dogs like any other domestic dog. Of course pitbulls are not always the right dog for every family - but blaming pitbulls as a breed for all those horrendous incidents we read about in the news, we’re forgetting the fact that we humans have created the very characteristics we vilify in pitbulls, simply to fill our own needs. We are responsible for them. Over the centuries, we have genetically engineered those dogs to have strong jaws, relentless staying power, & a high tolerance to discomfort and pain. Those are the plain unvarnished facts of DNA. But even in the dog world DNA isn’t destiny. Pitbulls are not born aggressive dogs or to people - we make them that way.
