I cannot believe the ignorance and hatred on this site for pit bulls. Reddit was just as terrible. My most downvoted comments of all time have to do with pit bulls and breed stereotyping in general.

I've worked in the animal industries for decades and have a lot of first-hand experience with dogs, but all that means nothing in the eyes of people who would rather be afraid of stories they tell themselves. It's so disheartening.

Like imagine if you said the same thing about black people's crime rate. The whole problem with this is who's recording the statistics. It's nothing to do with genes.

Don't compare black people to dogs. Also dogs are selectively bred for their genes.

I'm comparing discrimination to discrimination. Crime stats are pushed by a broken system with bias. So are these dog statistics.
