Let's skip the emotionally charged words like "evil". Do you believe some breads are more likely (statistically speaking) to kill a human than others?

I will never stop finding it hilarious how quickly progressives run to racial crime statistics and hold demographic breakdowns of violence sacrosanct when it comes to dogs breeds.

  There is no contradiction if you do not think a dog should have the same rights as a human.

  With humans, we first thought "let's give all people equal rights" and then "let's stop discriminating against people who used to not have those rights", not the other way around... Can't believe I need to remind you, but humans still actually own dogs, like property. And wait till you hear what some humans do to other animals and sea creatures. Apparently humanity collectively decided it will not treat animals like humans so here we are. If you go vegan and propose a plan to ban all that injustice maybe some will agree with you. But otherwise there's much worse stuff than "dog racial crime statistics" to think about, stuff we do to animals that don't even murder us unlike these dogs

  Progressives are against dog breed bans because of ^^^, which is absolutely wild to me. Humans are different than dogs! Believe it or not!

- I would wager that a Chihuahua is less likely to kill an adult human than a Bullmastiff, just because it is less capable of it. - Many small dogs, in general, are poorly behaved because you can just pick them up and move them instead of having to train them. - People also make sweeping statements about breeds like the American Pit-Bull Terrier when the variation within the breed is very large. - If I'm an asshole who's going to train a dog to be aggressive I'm going to pick one that looks scary. - Selective breeding within a breed can change temperament as well. - Banning individual breeds is stupid whack-a-mole. People will just pivot to a different large-dog breed. - If you want to make people not use dogs as weapons, about your only choice would be to ban dogs over a certain weight. This would almost certainly ban e.g. Bloodhounds (males commonly exceed 100lbs when at a healthy weight) though so isn't going to happen.
