border collies herd, pointers point, no one teaches these dogs to do these things. It's what they were bred for, its in their nature and instincts. But bring up how pitbulls were bred for aggression and they have an instinct for violence and out come the hysterics.

No one is breeding people for certain traits (at least, not anymore). Meanwhile, we breed all sorts of animals for specific factors. Making the comparison of "animal vs person" utterly devoid of brain mass.

An ER doctor mentioned that they see more dog bites from things like retrievers and sheppards, but the Pit Bull bites are always more severe or deadly with so much tissue damage.

The breed related part is how damaging they are.

My kid had two. One was a complete softy sweetheart, the other one mauled their cat to death one day (after years of living together) and lunges for other dogs. But either one I wouldn't want to have bite me
