    The pit bull discussion never ends. Pit bulls are like guns: objectively bad for society but some people really want to have them so we all have to suffer the consequences. Pit bull lovers don’t care about all the victims, they only care about their personal needs and “rights”. You can’t convince someone not to be selfish so the entire discussion doesn’t make any sense.

        This has been said so many times it’s boring: chihuahua with a bad owner never killed anyone.
        Also: would you support mandatory background checks, permits and training for pit bull owners? To make sure that they only go to good owners…

          I support educating pet owners, and regulating “puppy mills”.

          Dogs aren’t guns.

            Educating and regulating how? Mandatory certificates for pit bull owners? What regulations of “puppy mills” would stop pit bulls from killing people?

        That’s not what the data shows though. The vast majority of dog attacks are by pitbulls.

      Put bulls are not an objective bad for society. They’re not ruthless killing machines. They’re not even more aggressive than other dogs.
