I grew up on a farm with huge Shepard’s, black labs, cows, pigs etc etc basically a regular smallish farm. From my experience environment plays a very large role in all the animals we raised. Although in every species we raised regardless of the treatment occasionally we would get an asshat of an animal. No matter the training the love the food the care they where dumb or stubborn or vicious, every species. It happens.
Every animal has the propensity to attack regardless of the owner. That being said the numbers seem to be showing a higher number of extreme violent attacks with the breed Pitbull or hybrids of the Pitbull. We are at a point where regulation of some sort seems necessary.
I don’t see the coralation to regulating guns and regulating dogs, as guns are an inanimate object that requires a human to function. Dogs are independent entity that regardless of training, can and sometimes will act upon it’s own accord. I should also say I grew up with guns as most farmers have a rifle or two on the farm. I see reasons for regulations on both sides but I’m not seeing how the two arguments can be tied together.
