#11  My personal experience is they seem to get "off their chain" a lot more often than other dogs. Smarter than other dogs or owned by dumber people? Or some combination?

I look at Pit Bull stories, the same way I look at how the media sells the COVID-19/21 and the VAX.
Click Bait and Hype.

#9  The data vs anecdote problem arises.

#8  The most horrifying example of the lack of breed predictability is the October 2000 death of a 6-week-old baby, which was killed by her family's Pomeranian dog. I have 2 Pits and my daughter has 1. My 2 are very gentle and love people. Her dog is a service dog who regularly goes to the VA and to various nursing homes.

#7  My take on pitbulls has never been of the "most of them are great dogs" variety. Instead its been to point out that when a truly horrible ________ (insert most any other dog breed here) goes rogue, nobody loses a limb or their life.

#6  "Pitty" behavior is a lot like gun violence. As a general rule, nobody has been chewed to death by most breeds of dogs. But "true pittyism has never been tried."

Assh*les...

AMAZON

The Amazon Driver earned should get more recognition than a few free tickets. Amazon HQ needs to get off it cheap A$$ give a reward here.

THE PITS OWNERS
If the Pit Owners are the cause of the dogs behavior then drag them into court. If the owners were unlucky and got a Pit bred for "Gaming" and its a male, have it "clip". Otherwise it needs to be put it down.

Regarding PITS in general.
How they behaved is 99% on how they are treated and raised.

BTW: During the earlier times, Pits were considered to be the best breed for babysitting children. Hence the name Nanny Dog, despite what some claim otherwise. Heck even studies involving Pit Bull behavior revealed that they are the 2nd most tolerant dogs, right after Golden Retrievers.

#3  And while I'm being a cynical ashbole...

Amazing, and such self-effacement!
Perfection... in paid product placement:
"Please, do not be nervous.
Our bundling of services
FREES YOU... to fill up your basement!"

Er... Mouth of the Amazon, or, "That strong orange yellow god is not a river in Egypt."

#2  Millennial Mom! 'Tis a pity
She couldn't make do with a kitty.
A sphinx sits, dispirited,
By a fitty grand pyramid
Beside the wide Nile. Ain't it pretty?
