I have actually told a pitbull owner the reality of pitbull statistics to their face, but I also made sure to explain that statistics and individuals are not the same thing. They failed to understand the distinction and made me go outside and meet their dog, whom they had brought to the bar. It was a very nice doggy and I also told the very nice doggy that it was statistically part of a very problematic breed. But like, really all those statics mean is that pits are a breed that require a good owner. No one would suggest someone in NYC get a border collie, whereas pretty much anyone can handle a King Charles spaniel.
My stance is on this is simple. Why don’t people just move on when they see a pitbull instead of feeling the need to copy paste statistics about them.
I doubt they would walk up to someone waking their pitbull and read out their copy pastas lol.
