Oh yeah, I just noticed this too!

Are you a breeder, dog trainer or dog handler?
Because that’s not how it works. You can breed for particular traits, as you mentioned, but behavioural characteristics (such as aggression) are more complex than simple genetic traits. You could breed two highly aggressive dogs together and get a placid dog as a result.
You’re talking about behavioural characteristics, not skills. Dogs don’t know how to fight without training any more than people know how to drive a car without lessons.
And as far as aggressive behaviour goes, pitbulls aren’t necessarily any more or less aggressive than other breeds. There have been lots of studies on aggression in dogs that show that breed is not a good predictor of behavioural tendencies (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9679229/).
The issue is people having bread them for fighting.
That’s not how breeding works. Fighting dogs are trained to fight, they don’t just grow up with inbuilt knowledge.
Please listen to the people with experience working with or handling dogs. Pitbulls and other breeds aren’t the problem. Irresponsible pet owners are
Jesus Christ, I swear some people just sit and wait for any cute picture of a pitbull so they can pounce and make “rip someone’s face off” comments.
This is a community for cute pictures/stories. Please don’t push your dog breed alarmism here.

gid@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Arch Linux@lemmy.ml•[SOLVED] Figure out what the 'commands' are on a waybar module page English2·1 month agoI think it means any command you can run from the shell.
gid@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Thunder App@lemmy.world•Erroneous "not available on your instance" message0·3 months agoFWIW, I think this phrasing is understood differently depending on region. In the UK, and especially the northern counties in England, this is mostly understood to be a humorous exclamation of disbelief rather than anything aggressive.
