Conceit & Vanity: 20 More Examples of Safe, Cuddly Pit Bulls (and Other Dangerous Breeds) That Turned Violent

A good overview and balanced approach to the issue of Breed Specific Legislation is provided in the two videos below. 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.
