If treated properly, no dog has a predisposition to violence.

This is literally the opposite. Dogs were bred to have specific predispositions. Just because modern western pet lifestyles try to suppress this or dont capitalize on breeds special skills does not mean their genetic code turns off and never presets itself when the animal runs into a trigger event for its instincts. When it happens with pitbulls something usually dies or is severely maimed.

Responsible owners know this and make sure to train pitbulls to not act on instinct while also making sure they avoid situations that trigger their instincts and give proper outlets for them to engage in their instincts. Much like people who own vipers dont wave their hands in the snakes face or people who feed snapping turtles with tongs.

Its idiots who act like pitbulls are like any other dog and completely safe if they arent abused are the ones who get people maimed or worse.
