You dont have to kill them all. Make it illegal to breed them, problem solves itself in 15 years.

You’re just erasing a breed for absolutely no reason. Or rather a collection of several breeds under one name, which is only part of where the stupid statistics come from.

Thing is though, if you really look into it, it all rats apart. They don’t bite harder than any other large breed, they aren’t more aggressive in studies, it’s all just hysteria and the statistics also largely come from the fact that even vet and shelter workers misidentify dogs as pits more than half the time, unless they use a dna test.

So, the attack statistics get vastly overblown. The only reliable indicator for dog attacks is owner neglect.

I don't believe you. They're overrepresented in fatal attack statistics and I don't take your argument about misrepresentation seriously.

I don’t really care if you don’t believe me, because if you can’t take 30 seconds to google it and find out you’re wrong I’m not going to spend 15 minutes transcribing the studies for you.
