You can say the same about any breed of dog.
It’s not the dog, it’s how the dog is raised.
“It’s not the dog, it’s how the dog is raised.”

Sorry, I am not buying that line.
If that were true, it would apply to all breeds.
I have quite a few dogs around me that have no owner.
None of them so much as sneer or growl at people.
Anytime I hear of a dog incident in the US, it most often involves a Pit Bull, or as the blacks call them, pibulls, the favorite dog of boys in the hood.
“You can say the same about any breed of dog.”
The dog has the muscle structure and temperament to be a killer in the hands of a bad owner.
It takes a ton of abuse to get other breeds to this level of viciousness.
I know there are always exceptions but the vast majority of pit bull owners I know are little guys (physically or mentally) and trying to compensate.
Don’t waste your time, when it comes to Pit Bulls they think like liberals and guns. it’s always the guns fault not the person that pulled the trigger, and with pits it’s always the breed, not the humans that bred them.
Except if this goon had had a Bassett Hound and raised it exactly the same way, his poor ol' Ma would very, very probably still have her hands. :^)
Note: I am AGAINST breed banning. But even so, I know that really, it's a lot more "about" the breed than the owner.
Yeah, I can't tell you often i hear how the schnauzer killed a baby, or how the labrador ripped off arms and the Poodles are relentless for ripping throats...
Not true. I guarantee that a 100 pound Chihuahua, no matter who trained it, would be the meanest creature on the face of the planet, killing anyone which came near it’s home or yard.
Those dogs are vicious, and I ain’t joking. I’m just glad they weight only 3 pounds.
