    To claim that it’s entirely environmental is to flaunt longstanding understanding on how genetics works. Nobody looks at border collies, with their high intelligence, and say “oh it’s just environment”, or chihuahuas being territorial little shits and say “oh it’s just environment”. These dogs were ENGINEERED to be this way, it’s in their bones.

    Pitbulls have been specifically bred for their toughness, their aggression, their locking jaw, and because you happened to get a couple good ones doesn’t invalidate the fact that they are statistically one of the most dangerous breeds to own.

      The fact that you just cited the completely made up “locking jaw” myth really shows how valid and researched your opinion is on this topic…

        The fact you misrepresented their point to make it sound like a gotcha moment says more about you then the person you replied to.
