Pitbulls are known for their vicious attacks. As incredibly dangerous creatures, with a mean streak and inability to interact with other dogs and human beings without trying to rip their throats out, Pitbulls are not meant for human society in any way, shape, or form. Sure, there are people who think Pitbulls are harmless, but that’s because they completely and utterly ignore the evidence and statistics that are stacked against them. There is plenty of proof on the Internet, we have gathered some in this post as well.
It’s the only way they know how to defend themselves. Take a look at this Twitter thread, for example. It started off with someone recording a dastardly Pitbull attack, absolutely vicious, and then people who were following the account, obliged with their own stories of terrifying Pitbull attacks. Warning, this is not for the faint of heart, and if things can bother you easily, this is definitely not something you should be perusing. After seeing this, you should decide whether or not Pitbulls are really vicious or not.

If you couldn’t tell, that was just heavy, heavy sarcasm. Pits are not aggressive. Check out Positively for example;
There are countless stories of pit bull type dogs ‘suddenly exploding’. This seems to be the common layperson’s explanation whenever there has been a bad bite or a fatality, but the actual incidents of true explosive rage in any breed of dog are very rare. Many bites are the result of a combination of environment and circumstance. The signs of discomfort might be subtle and easily misunderstood, ignored, or go unnoticed until they come together in a perfect storm that ends in a bite. Dogs never bite ‘out of the blue’ or ‘for no reason.’ There is always a reason for every behavior
All too often people get pit bull types and fail to give them the outlets they need, or worse, turn them into loaded weapons. Their ‘gameness’ and desire to please tends to attract the wrong kind of people who use them to enhance personal image and status, or as protection for themselves or their families. Many pit bull types are kept in the yard tethered to a chain their entire lives, causing hyper-reactivity and fear which has on occasion led to disaster. Until authorities take more notice of the other end of the leash and hold people accountable for their dogs’ behavior, the situation will remain the same.
Any dog that is raised responsibly can be a great family dog including the Pit bull and pit bull type dog, but with a reckless or clueless owner, any breed or type can become an out-of-control liability that ends up either hurting somebody or on a shelter’s euthanasia list.
