    Pitbulls are not the deadliest dog out there. Not by a long shot. They’re just the ones people like to make aggressive.

      Except they are, though. They’re bred to be as deadly as possible. This is a verifiable fact.

        There are dogs that are bred to help bring down bears. Some asshole breeding for noise and muscle does not make the most dangerous dog.

          Pitbulls are the most deadly breed of dog, to humans. This is a solid concrete fact. There are reasons for this, and evidence to back it up. Your thing about bears is irrelevant, unless those dogs have been proven to be more dangerous to humans than pitbulls, which they haven’t.

            Sure, just ignore all context. Big number bad. Keep playing whack a mole wondering why the problem never gets fixed.

              Problem is pitbulls. Fix with ban. Simple. Context is evidence. Context is bloodthirsty breeding program. Understand?

                Except it isn’t. Pitbulls were already banned weren’t they? This is literally the next breed and just another brand. It’s happening before your eyes and you still can’t see it.

                  What is happening please? Obviously am too simple to understand machinations of anti-killer-dog cabal.

      It’s important to understand what people mean when they say things. These people aren’t saying that pit bulls are more physically capable of killing people than any other breed, they’re saying that they’re responsible for more deaths than any other breed.

      It’s a bit like saying the flu is deadler than ebola. Ebola may have a higher mortality rate, but it’s so much less likely to infect people that it has a much smaller kill count.
