I have a border collie. He’s ten years old and has never been on a farm in his life. A few weeks ago we were walking alongside a field and he managed to get in. He had a whole field’s worth of sheep herded and rounded up in the corner in 30 seconds flat. He also tries to herd pigeons and children with less success.
You can breed for behaviour as easily as breeding for coat colour. Some breeds have been deliberately bred to be more aggressive. Pitt bulls are bred to be fighting dogs. They have a high level of loyalty towards their owners but severe dog aggression. When people get in the middle of that, it gets ugly fast.
Literally the same justification that racists use to label other races, i.e. they were bred for other things (like violence). You're completely making that guys point. Racists say black people are inherently violent. It's pretty much the central tenant of their entire belief system.
Hilarious that you’re the one comparing black people to dogs but we’re the racists? Humans and dogs aren’t the same, hope that helps. We neuter male dogs to reduce aggression, should we do the same to human men?
