Even if the domestic dog were a predator, which it isn’t, random killing would not be in its repertory of behavior (But in a Pit Bulls, it is.)

Even lions and tigers and bears don’t just suddenly think, ‘Hey, I’m not hungry but I feel like killing something just for the heck of it,’ to then casually attack anything that happens to be passing. 

And even if it is hungry, a predator does not confuse its own kind or its own social partners with prey.

So forget about the pit bull’s energy wasting, random killing of anything and everything, including its social partner (humans and other dogs) being some kind of normal predatory behavior, even if the domestic dog were a predator.

Which it’s not. 

The problem with the pit bull is that humans have applied artificial selection to preserve and intensify a hereditary brain malfunction. 

Unfortunately, the mutation turned out to serve human purposes very well. This originally had to do with distorted views of masculinity, and with gambling and greed, and was limited to small circles – in the United States mostly to theKu Klux Klan (which used dogfights to raise funds) and to the states where the Klan dominated politics.

That we are willing to risk – and often sacrifice – our children’s lives and our own lives to keep these unpredictable and uncontrollable living weapons among us is symptomatic of a mind boggling social pathology on a large scale.

It should include recognition of the fact that the pit bull is an artificial human creation.

The pit bull problem is completely unrelated to the natural behavior of any other animal,

Saying that the pit bull defines what the dog is, is like saying that Charles Manson defines normal humankind.

No, it's not the owners, it's the breed. When it comes to THIS dog. The Pit Bull is congenitally unstable. It could love you and be fine for five years and then rip off your thumbs. 

Irresponsible people owning them makes them worse, but either way they are likely to snap. Literally.

A pit bull is not going to be scared of you, it might behave for a while, and then one day you're dinner.

It's the preferred dog of skinheads. The KKK used dogfighting to raise funds from the 1800's until the early  nineteen-eighties.
