1. Fighting dogs were bred for aggression to other dogs (or rats, or whatever). They needed to be handled, and the ones that showed aggression to their handlers were culled. A proper pit is naturally aggressive towards prey/small animals and other dogs, not people. Now molossors that were used to keep people in line (Presa Canaria I’m looking at you) don’t have that bred in. They need real careful handling.

No doubt, but the point is that most people won't kill other people simply because their buttons got pushed.
Some will, but the % of people that will kill when pushed is much lower then with Pitbulls. and again, pittbulls are not people.. they are dogs
They are not covered by a bill of rights.

Kinda confirming the pittbull owner prejudices with such statements..
