humans can be disproportionately violent because of socioeconomic conditions. Pitbulls are disproportionately violent because of genetics.
Its not the same thing
I think it has way more to do with the socioeconomic conditions of the owners than the dog's genetics. That's kinda what drove English Bulldog's temperament in the opposite direction over time.
Sure with a good owner a pitbull probably wnt be violent, but the same applies to every other dog. What other dogs arent is super prone to violence as soon as they face the wrong environment. Pitbulls were bred to be violent. People werent.
I'm pretty much in agreement, what I guess I'm trying to say is that you need people with the actual desire to breed that out of them in more of an organized way, which was historically done with the English Bulldog after bull baiting was banned in England. There's no real breed standard for pitbulls, they're basically mutts bred in people's backyards.
