    They were bred to fight. They had generations of selective breeding by human being with intent toward that purpose. If you don’t think they’re more genetically inclined to violence than breeds who were not bred for that purpose, you need a lesson in evolution.

      also lot of the owners… own them because of that purpose. they want a ‘tough’ dog because they themselves think they are really ‘badass’.

      many pitbull owners are human beings would be way more likely to start a fight with another person. so naturally that carries over to the dog, as dogs mirror the behavior of their owners often.
