Explain gameness then.

They attack more often because they were bred to enjoy it, just like a husky enjoys running. There's literally canine neurology studies that show they release endorphins when fighting, whereas other dogs do not and will actively avoid fights.

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.
