(42,998 posts)You don't seem to really understand evolution OR behavior. I have a zoology degree and anyone who cites "evolution" in an artifically selected animal breed is well, ignorant. Also, how can you not understand that animal behavior is a function of BOTH genetic history AND the environment (ie how they are raised). YOU SIR have a very RW like understanding of biology. Thin and lacking in true understanding.
Many animal breeds were bred to be hunters or fighters, in fact I'd be more worried about something like a Chow which was bred to be an aggressive guard dog, so is MUCH more likely to bite (look that up, you don't seem interested in facts though).
Also, you might want to look up the Vick pit bulls many of which despite being used as fighters turned out to be nice adoptable animals which throws your "unthinking predator" bullshit completely out the window.
You sir are a scientific ignoramus. I'd be ashamed of whomever gave you your "degree".
