    When 1 breed is per capita significantly higher represented… yes it is.

    You could use the same logic to desperage American minorities. I think we can all do a little better here, don’t you?

      No. I don’t compare humans to animals that were specifically bred for aggression. But you do you.

        specifically bred for aggression

        This is wrong. Pit bull breeds were bred for gameness, the unrelenting will to “win” at all costs once engaged.

        I think it’s also important to highlight the specifically bred part of your comment. Pit bull breeds didn’t become this way naturally, people made them this way. It’s less of a dog problem than it is a people problem.

        Gameness could be bred out of these breeds the same way, but the change starts with people first.

          So now you’re equating animals that were specifically bred to be aggressive with minorities… And I’m being disingenuous?
