One one hand, I believe that there is a lot of media bias towards reporting pitbull attacks, etc. But on the other hand, my one experience with a pitbull owner involved a lot of circular logic. "My pitbull is harmless and friendly!" "She growled at me." "Well, that was because you were acting the wrong way. Don't act nervous." Kind of a "no true Scotsman" fallacy: the dog acts friendly to people who aren't nervous, and if the dog gets mad at you, that is just proof that you are nervous.

Cursed Lumberjack posted:in case anyone wants to see what was there pre-edit I actually know a black guy who married a Scotsman, and they seem to have a very happy marriage! Serious response: actually, this is more about pitbull owners than the dogs. I am not a dog psychologist, so I don't know about breed predisposition. But I do know that my one close encounter with pitbull owners was pretty f'ed up. They seemed to believe that it was other people's job to adjust to their perfect doggy, and that any problems their dog caused was because other people around them were magically not heeding the dog's wishes.

Emanuel Collective posted:this page is even more striking imo Thing I didn't actually math but noticed when looking over those figures: Southern and southernish states seem to be disproportionately represented. In 2014, of the 32 fatal attacks, 18 of them occurred in southern states. (Counting Florida, Texas and Missouri as Southern states).
