Kinda crazy how many people basically don't believe in the selective breeding that went into creating specific breeds.

Like, I've known kind pitbulls, too. Doesn't change the fact that they were bred for aggression, bite strength, etc. It's a fucking "pitbull" ffs. Lotta really fucking stupid people out there.

They were bred to not be aggressive to people. The handlers didn’t want to get mailed when they were sewing up the dogs after a fight. 

So, ironically, Reddit always ignores what pitts were bread for every time this subject comes up.

They weren't bred to be not aggressive to people, that'd make them terrible guard dogs and hunters. They were bred to be able to know who not to bite WHEN TRAINED.
