You don’t think an animal that has been selectively bred for generations to be the most aggressive they can can be trained to resist their most basic urges? No they will snap eventually. It might not be a death or dismemberment but they might bite.

Dogs don’t do that “for fun”, there must be more behind this story.

What more could there possibly be? And what makes you think a dog wouldn’t kill something for fun? Have you ever even owned a dog?

I have two dogs.

And your dog has never acted on its prey drive? Never chased a squirrel or a rabbit even? If a big dog decides you’re prey, this is what happens. Not sure why you think pretending otherwise is a good idea.

They’re bred for fighting

An irresponsible dog owner who uses their dogs as a threat and a weapon? A police force which only issued a caution the last time this nearly happened?

It really depends on the dog and their owner(s), really. Some dogs can be extremely aggressive and violent, if they’ve been kept as fighting dogs for example

Dogs also feed off of the emotions of their owners. If the owner is all tense or aggressive, the dog will be on alert and prone to attack other dogs and people

I’m guessing you’ve never heard of a little thing called the prey drive?

Nothing more to it. A type of dog bred for fighting mauled a man to death. And now this specific breed has been announced as being banned entirely by the end of the year. Good.
