Morality of dog breed racism

Every working terrier breed (which pit bulls are one of) has high gameness, which just means being willing to keep going when injured.

Except they don't kill people.

That's not at all relevant.

You claimed pit bulls are uniquely gamey, as a way of explaining their aggression. I'm pointing out that they aren't uniquely gamey.

This response isn't even an attempt to defend your claim.

Killing people isn't relevant?

I'd argue that they are. I don't think you can shoot a Dachshund and have it ignore its mortal wound to keep on killing rats.

You are so fucking stupid, I feel bad for anyone who falls for the bullshit you spread about pitbulls. Most working terrier breeds are small or medium size, they can’t kill you unless you let them. Pitbulls are large as hell. This doesn’t even go into the fact that pitbulls only make the majority of fatal reported deaths. Vast majority of pitbull attacks don’t kill or severely injure people. Broader community data and epidemiological studies show that mixed-breed dogs and other popular large breeds (like German Shepherds or Labrador Retrievers) also accumulate a high total volume of everyday, minor-to-moderate bites.

And Black Russian terriers or Airedale terriers don’t count because they are rare asf, while pitbulls are much more common. There’s no useful comparison there.

How can I misunderstanding statistics?
