What are the clear parallels between vicious dogs and minority humans?

The argument they're going for is prejudicial judgment and they're hoping by insinuating (or flat out saying) that you're a racist, that you'll shut up. It's offensive and disingenuous.

And you believe it appropriate to compare the movement to try to ban violent dogs to.. Minorities? Okay. Lol surprising but okay.

More accurately, to compare a movement to try to ban certain dog breeds to a hypothetical movement to try to ban certain minorities. That does not rely on comparing minorities to violent dogs, only on comparing the rationale behind it.

However, since you seem to want to make the comparison between dogs and people, let's try it on for size:

Pit bulls in the US - ~4.5 million
Deaths by pit bulls in the US - ~27 per year (65% of 40 overall dog deaths)
Deaths per million pit bulls per year - 6.0 (I'm unreasonably happy this ended up being an integer >.>)

White people in the US - ~234.3 million (in 2017)
Murders by white people in US - 3011 (in 2018)
Murders per million white people in 2018 - 12.9

Black people in the US - 40.6 million (in 2017)
Murders by black people in the US - 3177 (in 2018)
Murders per million black people in 2018 - 775.3

People of other races in the US - 35.9 million
Murders by Other - 207
Murders per million Other in 2018 - 5.8

It would appear that, if we accept the premise that there should be a ban on breeding pit bulls because of how dangerous they are, it would be logically consistent to also have ban on breeding white and black humans, as any given member of either race is significantly more likely to kill somebody than any given pit bull. The "Other" category could stand to be broken down further, but given that its average is so close to that of the pit bulls', I expect this logic would also support banning several of them.

Pit bulls murder thousands of dogs and cats every year.

Are Black people innately more dangerous than other races the way pit bulls are?

Taken in a vacuum, that is what the statistics would suggest. Of course, a little bit of common sense will tell us that that's not something inherent to their race, but rather reflects a wide range of social, economic, geographic, and other factors that are simply correlated with their race. Control for those other factors, and I wouldn't expect that any randomly selected black person is more likely to commit murder than any randomly selected person of any other race. Similarly, remove the abuse/mistreatment piece, and there's no more reason to expect pit bulls to be aggressive than to expect other dogs to be aggressive (which is to say, none at all, since aggression in dogs is very much a product of their treatment).

Of course black people aren't more dangerous than other races, just like pit bulls aren't more dangerous than other breeds because the statics don't show the whole story, why is this so hard to grasp?

Pit bulls are more dangerous tho.

I'm sure you wouldn't disagree that dogs can vary widely from one breed to another. Personality, skills, intelligence, etc. We have dogs that weigh two pounds and dogs that weight 200 pounds.

So looking at that huge diversity, why on earth would you think that predisposition to violence is a trait that somehow isn't more present in some breeds than others? That they're all equal or near equal? That's absurd.

I don't blame pit bulls for being how they are. People made them that way. They're decedents of a breed specifically bred for fighting other dogs, or bulls, or bears, or whatever animal that garbage 19th century people thought would be entertaining to watch kill or be killed.

Okay I know dog people are insane but the biggest issue with you argument is despite what many fanatics believe dogs are NOT people. They are animals no different than the cows in your burger or the birds waking you up in the morning. The world will not suffer for more regulations on pitbulls. Theres plenty of other dogs to pick from and no socioeconomic issues that would arise from it.

This, I can get behind (as well as for any other breed that has considerable potential for harm). With responsible owners, there's no problem. Ensure all of their owners are responsible, and the problem is solved. I'm also a big fan of the idea of charging dog owners with any violent crimes their dogs commit. Include provisions for qualified rescuers that did everything they should have but their rescue dog still ended up hurting someone due to circumstances beyond the owner's control, but otherwise, make sure "we've destroyed the dog" isn't the end of it. Anyone that trains a dog in a way that causes it to kill somebody else should be in jail for murder, or at least manslaughter.

If treated properly, no dog has a predisposition to violence. Violent behaviour is a product of mistreatment. It's easier to mistreat a pit bull to the point where aggression becomes an issue than it is for many other breeds, and their strength means that becomes a problem very quickly, but the root cause is still that mistreatment, so that's what really needs to be prevented. At the end of the day, even if every dog breed that has any potential to harm somebody else is banned, those people will still be abusing dogs, and that's not okay.

Who said they need to be people? I'm just comparing how dangerous they are, and apparently you're considerably more likely to be killed by a randomly selected human than by a randomly selected pit bull. If anything, that just highlights how small the risk actually is. People's impression of it just gets inflated by the selection bias that afflicts reports on the matter.

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.

According to the police report, the Dec. 8 incident was not the first time the family's dog had shown signs of aggression, but Shannon said Heather had a fondness for animals and couldn't toss the pet aside.

My sister has the biggest heart for animals and just couldn't get rid of it ... her heart was too big and they thought they could fix him, Shannon said.

A local veterinary clinic told police the dog was up to date on its shots and did not have any known health issues.

Loving a dog doesn't necessarily mean treating it properly to avoid promoting aggressive tendencies, or training out any that have been instilled in it. This is a case where ignorance can be just as dangerous as malice.

I used to quite like dogs until 3 retrievers tried to kill me and my younger sibling. Gotta admit it that sprinting down a 1/4 pothole-filled road carrying a toddler while dogs try to murder you rather sours one's ability to enjoy the company of dogs altogether.

Yes, perhaps she could've done more to keep the pitbull's predisposition for aggression contained.

It's difficult though, because even the most well trained pitbulls can be triggered by a seemingly innocuous event and immediately enter kill or be killed mode.

My high school friend owned a pitbull. He also owned a cat. They seemed to get along well enough and he was always posting cute photos of the two of them together. And then one day the pitbull killed the cat. Nobody knows why.

Maybe it meowed too loudly.
