Asks for sources. When gets source, comes up with any excuse including government figures as to why they’re wrong.
You don’t want source, you just don’t to believe it because you always had that believe that all dogs are good, they just got bad owners. Maybe you’re partly right, owners and training plays a big part, but even with that, these dogs are overwhelming involved in incidents and fatal incidents in the UK despite there being horrible dog owners of every breed.
The allowing these dog breeds was a compromise to try and get the legislation through, but most know these dogs are bred for fighting, and are so strong, they are lethal. Even families who cared for the dogs and loved them well, and one accident, and a child is dead. Ooops. Some dog breeds just ain’t safe.
I’m curious, do you have any experience with training and handling dogs? Because breeding really doesn’t work in the way you are implying or assuming.
Describing these dogs as bred for fighting implies that these dogs are pre-programmed to attack and fight. That’s not how dogs work. Breeding for traits is about selecting for particular behavioural and physical attributes. “Fighting” isn’t an isolated behaviour, it’s a collection of traits like defensiveness, aggression, threat identification and so on, and to “fight” dogs need training on these.
As previous commenters have said, in the tragic cases where bully breeds have been involved in lethal attacks there are indications that the dogs were not handled/trained/socialized correctly.
