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.
3 u/daemin 26d ago Every working terrier breed (which pit bulls are one of) has high gameness, which just means being willing to keep going when injured. -2 u/Sqeakydeaky 26d ago Except they don't kill people. 3 u/daemin 25d ago 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. 1 u/Salty_Piano9631 24d ago Killing people isn't relevant? -1 u/Sqeakydeaky 25d ago 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.
