Like, they have to be some of the most uneducated people I have ever met.

This one pit mommy was going on about how pitbull type dogs are not "fighting dogs," nor are they "naturally aggressive" and how they "yearn to be accepted and protected from constant persecution." They act as if these dogs understand those concepts when they don't. And, of course, she brought out the good old temperament test. That's their only weapon to prove pitbulls are friendly and not aggressive.

Anyway, I got into it with her (which I know probably wasnt worth it) and no matter what I said it just went over her head, which isn't shocking but she is so blind that she woudn't even acknowledge genetics exist and she went on to compare humans to dogs. She kept saying aggression is a learned behaviour when yeah, it can be, but in certain breeds, it is in their genetics, and some dogs have neurological issues that can cause them to behave aggressively and the owners have no control over that.

And I even brought up how pointers were bred to point, herders were bred to herd, and retrievers were bred to retrieve, but not once did she acknowledge any of that. I even pointed out that I didn't train my lab to retrieve, but she does it any because that's what her breed was bred to do. She kept calling me the uneducated one too.

But for some reason, they can never acknowledge that sometimes it is just the dog (and the breeder) and not the owner that is to blame. The future doesn't look bright for the pitbull community if they keep ignoring genetics, I know there are very few that do but it's more common to run into people that choose to ignore their breeds history.
