Do you honestly think that every single pitbull attack is due to bad training and has nothing to do with genetics?

Not in a sense where i think "Pitbulls" themselves are the problem.

I think genetics come into play where people who shouldn't be breeding dogs will breed dogs that have mental illnesses that are passed down which can make a dog unstable.

I've seen my dad beat a german shepherd to the point where it got out and before he could pick it up from the pound they put it down because it was so aggressive. I've also met enough pitbulls that are some of the greatest dogs ive met. I've seen people train chihuahuas where they are really great dogs. I've seen people who dont and they are the typical little assholes.

I've been around dogs my whole life and i dont believe the breed matters. I think each dog should be treated as an individual.

My own dog taught me that with training dogs that are "Aggressive" and untrainable can become sweethearts. My dog was very dog aggressive as a puppy due to trauma. With training and a lot of patience, she isnt that same way.

I love dogs and the rap that Pits have now is the rap that Rotties had before them. Then if they ban all pits then it will just be another big dog getting the blame.
