No, you have a legitimate excuse, dogs bite. Aggressive dogs bite more often. Is there an epidemic of dog biting in the US, or just an epidemic of MSM panic articles? Is this a reason to ban entire breeds? Do you really want to ride this bandwagon?
On this breed? Yes. They were bred for all the wrong reasons. I suppose that could be bred out of them, but it hasn't happened yet. About lightening. I don't think that's a good example to use. It's a random act of nature, not due to breeding. Like that kid who kept makin' more and more unstabe explosives. One day, outside a football stadium, he's got some in his backpack. He's not settin' it off, so that's cool. Then he rustles in his backpack and, BLAMMO!
This isn't a good example either, but what the heck, I've been scrubin' the kitchen all day today after a nasty stove fire a week ago!
