Man, you really are incapable of talking to someone who disagrees with you without boiling over with rage. Get some therapy or something. Anyway I'm blocking you now because this is stupid, that should keep you raging for a while
Edit: Holy shit the poor kid made an alt account just to "win". I have literally never seen anyone do that before. Incredible. Very sad.

I dunno man, sounds like you're seething to me with all the petty insults. Bet you're shaking with rage right now. Stay mad.
Edit: Nothing says shaking with rage like literally creating an entire alt account to "win". That's hilarious

Pretty much any breed has had incidents where a well trained, well cared for dog can bite. Even family labradors have cases like that. Usually they're caused by high stress situations, pain or illness, not some random decision to become violent for the sake of it. Maybe some breeds have an inclination to be more short tempered, but that doesn't mean that they're attacking for no reason. It just means that they need an owner who understands how to handle their dog in those situations.
I included hunting dogs because certain breeds of dogs bred for actual killing of prey animals can be fairly aggressive. Jack Russel Terriers for example are among some of the highest rates of aggression as a breed, but because of their size they can't do a lot of damage to a human. They do harm a lot of other dogs and pets in general when not properly trained though, which is why a good owner will make sure to introduce them to other dogs at an early age.

Lol, your entire response has been nothing but insults but go off. I hope that once the hormones calm down you'll stop being so damn angry, it seems like a miserable way to live. Not everyone is as angry about the opinions of strangers on the internet btw

My point is that a dog can do something we consider wrong but they don't do it for the sake of doing something morally wrong, because they don't and can't comprehend the concept of morals. An animal can't make the choice to do something evil because they don't know what evil is. An animal won't do something just for the sake of being cruel. I really can't simplify it for you more than that.
If someone is genuinely incapable of understanding the concept of right and wrong, no I wouldn't consider them to be evil, that would require them to deliberately do something bad. Most people are raised being taught the difference between right and wrong so it's very unlikely to happen. Dangerous? Of course. Evil? No.
Not everything is black and white, just like not everyone who disagrees with you is an evil meanie who only exists to hurt your poor little feelings.

Question: Are you 12? You need to learn to understand that not everyone who disagrees with you is [insert "fallacy" or other super smart debate word you saw that you don't know the meaning of]
Seriously dude, this is the most "keyboard warrior" behaviour I've ever seen. Would it make you feel better if I told you that you won the internet argument? Do you want to add it to your little tally board? Here you go buddy, just for you. Something to hinge your self esteem on. I concede, you win the stupid pointless internet argument.

Why are people so eager to assign human traits to animals? Humans are capable of understanding the concept of right or wrong based on morals. Dogs are not. A dog understands what it needs to do in order to survive, and what it is taught it is and isn't supposed to do by its social group. A dog doesn't wake up one day, think "hell yeah I'm going to bite a bunch of people!", it either sees a person as a threat or has been taught that it is supposed to bite people. Animals don't understand human morals.

Oh yeah no doubt that the breed is capable of doing a ton of damage, but they can also be trained properly to be docile from an early age by an experienced owner, which happens to not be the demographic pit bulls are most popular with.
There are other breeds that could do a lot of damage and tend to have an aggressive temperament if they're not trained properly. For example, German Shepherds are bred for jobs that require aggression, and you're almost twice as likely to die if you're attacked by a German Shepherd due to the pulling and tearing action they're bred for. However, they're not popular for dog fighting, and they fell out of popularity as guard dogs too for various reasons, and people generally understand that they're not a dog for inexperienced owners.
While what the breed is capable of is definitely a factor, I think if it was mainly about the damage a dog can do and the nature of the jobs they were bred for, we'd be seeing a lot more attacks from guard dog and hunting dog breeds.

Do you know any words besides "pseudo-intellectual" by any chance, or is that the only big word that your internet "debater" friends taught you? I mean I expected you to not know what it means but this is just getting sad

Mhm, I'm sure you know everything about every stray dog ever just from looking at some, as well as everything about me from two messages on the internet. I'm sure Mensa are desperately searching for you as we speak. Good job buddy. You're so smart that even reality has nothing on you.
Ps: Not everyone who disagrees with you is "pseudo intellectual", throwing out words you heard a guy say on the internet one time doesn't make you smart. I never claimed to be anything but a random guy of average intelligence, it doesn't take a genius to see how stupid what you said is

Lol okay, nobody ever does anything bad and every dog that ever gets dumped is an evil rabid hellhound just because you don't live in a developing country. You keep believing that.

The fact that they were dumped onto the street to fend for themselves, and most likely treated badly by humans for being "vermin" and therefore see them as a threat might have something to do with it. Just a guess.

Can't possibly be that those specific breeds are the ones usually chosen by people seeking to train a dog to be aggressive...

No, there's no such thing as a 100% chance of prevention for anything, but there's mostly preventable. There's still a chance that your perfectly docile family dog will get stressed and bite regardless of breed. You can lower that chance by choosing a breed of dog you're able to deal with, training it properly and being aware of its needs.
Different breeds require different levels and styles of discipline, that's why certain breeds of dog aren't good for inexperienced owners, and every dog has boundaries that need to be respected. That doesn't make them "bad".
