Uncle, Grandmother in Custody After Toddler's Dog Attack Death

Even if that were true, why are pit bull defenders so enamored of this statement? You're essentially admitting that pit bulls WERE bred to be aggressive toward other dogs. Your argument seems to be that they can be relied on to not attack humans because of their (alleged) breeding. Doesn't it also follow that they CAN be relied on to attack other dogs? You would think self-professed animal and dog lovers would not trumpet this as some sort of positive trait.

And you would think the pit bulls defenders who argue that it is only nurture that makes a dog aggressive or non-aggressive, never nature, would not be using a "nature" argument at all to support their notion that pit bulls are not aggressive toward humans.

But of course pit bull defenders must cherry pick their ideas to defend the breed.
