The first one is from 2010 and is a bit blurry, but I couldn’t find one so concise yet comprehensive. A more detailed look is at: http://www.mybestbuddymedia.com/2018/08/truth-unleashed-undeniable-pit-bull.html . Following are 21 news segments of supposedly safe breeds suddenly and unpredictably snapping and turning violent. Note that these are news stories where it is specifically mentioned that the dogs had been safe and had never attacked anyone. As far as news stories where this is not mentioned – due to lack of information or not deemed important – there are literally hundreds and hundreds of incidences and videos from local TV news. Just go to Youtube and type in words like pit bull mauling or attack, as well as other key words. There is no end to them. Some of these are certainly due to abusive owners, but the majority are from average dog owners who never expected anything to happen.
The
dangerous dog debate, which should include not just pit bulls but the top five
most lethal breeds, boils down to dog owners conceit and vanity in owning a
specific dangerous breed for their own selfish pleasure, and heartlessly
disregarding the staggering numbers of horrific and life-altering attacks and maulings
of human beings as well as smaller dogs.
Since everyone
agrees that too many people do not know how to raise a dog correctly, then dangerous
dog owners must concede that there are many aggressive dogs out there no matter
what any dog owner, trainer or organization does. Unless someone can wave a
magic wand and everyone suddenly knows how to correctly train a dog, then these
advocates are admitting it is okay for thousands of people to be brutalized
annually just for the narcissistic pleasure of owning violent breeds.

Rehabilitation Center: “Blue went through our three month board and train
program ….. Blue loved other dogs ……. He never showed any aggression while at
our facility, and passed his final evaluation with flying colors before being
