#When a pit would have been euthed for the same behavior (and for good reason)

Reddit is the one site where I can reliably be downvoted for pointing out completely normal facts about dogs. What are those completely normal facts about dogs?

1). Working dogs aren't pets. Working breeds aren't pets. Having a working breed and not allowing that dog to work is, in fact, cruel.

2). Free spay/neuter prevents dog bites. It should be free or very low cost for people to have their companion animals sterilized.

3). If you get a dog and don't train that dog, you are being extremely neglectful.

4). All dogs bite. Some breeds are far more prone to it than others and do more damage, but all dogs can bite. Acting like only one breed bites (and making excuses for non pit bulls that bite) is stupid.

5). Even if we went door to door and killed every pit bull type dog (barring the human mental health cost and the money needed to DNA test every dog in America), there will be another problem breed. My money is on Australian cattle dogs or Malinois.

6). It should not be controversial to legislate mandatory insurance, licensing, training, and sterilization of pet dogs.

7). Pushing for the natural extinction of a breed via mandatory spay/neuter is not being blind to the breed's issues. Nor is being fine with breeding for a look, while also breeding for a very docile temperament.

8). By acting like any solution short of mass culling is a crime against God and nature, you are, in fact, acting like an idiot and pushing people into a corner. Most folks would be fine with sunsetting a breed/mix if it was done humanely.
