    What’s there to be leery about? These dog breeds were bred for one thing and it sure wasn’t to be the perfect family dog.

      Well no, that’s where you’re wrong. Human aggression was a trait that was absolutely bred out of these dogs.

      Please go read up on how the American fighting pitbull dog was created, managed, trained, etc. Before throwing out bs online.

        Well I did and it literally states in the first paragraph of the history of Pit Bulls on Wikipedia:

        The bull-and-terrier was a breed of dog developed in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century for the blood sports of dog fighting and rat baiting

        So I feel, idk, that you got some reading to do…

              Well I’ll just start with a top search result when looking for their history…

              https://pitbulls.org/article/brief-history-american-pit-bull-terrier

              I have owned and read about these dogs for decades, I don’t have nor am I going to go find all of the sources I’ve read over that time. I can tell you that you are incorrect in your assumption about the breed, as are virtually every other person who hates these dogs.

              People like you are historically not worth talking to, you will deny any sources or information that I provide because you have already made your mind up about the breed.

              I’ll leave you with this: this breed was created by humans, is in a constant state of misery because of humans, and is persecuted by humans because of human behavior.

              These dogs are not at fault. But ignorance is rife with folks like yourself. I hope you actually put effort into learning their history but I know you won’t.

                  I did and then encouraged you to use the same search terms I did to find it. It’s OK though you had no intention of legitimately engaging in this, I know. Later fucko.

                    I read your ‘source’, and pitbulls.org is not an unbiased source (wtf how can you think that even). Wikipedia is. Wikipedia supports my claims, end of discussion.

                    Goddamn you need to go back to school maybe learn about credible source materials.
