Different breeds are bred for different purposes.
My father’s llewellyn setters were bred to point and to retrieve birds. Dogs that killed or tore up birds that they retrieved were often killed by the breeders.
My chosen breed has always been australian shepherds. Aussies who kill or harm sheep, ducks/cattle are often killed by the breeders.
Pitt bulls in GA are trained to kill wild hogs. They are trained by people who throw cats and other breeds of dogs into the pens for the pitt bulls to kill. I personally know police that have raided such places. I know a probation officer in coastal GA who rescued a cat from a pitt bull when he saw the owner, a white male, throw the cat in the pen. The defendant went to jail. I watched that court hearing. We had a secretary in Atlanta who lived in a county north of Atlanta. Her pit bull pulled down one of her father’s cows and would not let go even when beaten until the cow was dead.
Not in Fulton, but in Atlanta/Dekalb, several adults and children were killed by pitt bulls owned in neighborhoods.
When you own a dog trained and bred originally to kill bears, and now trained and bred to kill feral hogs and poor old dogs and cats given to them for bait by their owners, you are responsible to keep your killer dogs away from innocent people and their innocent animals.
I have no sympathy for pitt bull owners.
My aussies kept me from being mugged and/or burglarized in St Louis and Atlanta. I did not need a killer dog.
