They're being bred like crazy. Lowest spay and neuter rates of any breed.

What can we do to change that? How can we incentivize spaying/neutering? Especially neutering, since breeders can use one stud many times.

They’re some of the ugliest dogs around. Is there really such a huge demand for them?

Not all pits are ugly! https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/cute-pit-bull

Now I find the huge dogs that drool pretty unattractive like bloodhounds and Neapolitan Mastiffs

My golden retriever is hungry 100% of the time. The chance that he would eat any human is 0%. He won’t even eat out of the open food bin until we tell him okay. He just flips down on his bed and looks sad. Everyone I read these comments that say “any dog can attack” I think people are getting entirely the wrong dogs. You could kick my dog in the head and he still wouldn’t attack. The rescue trend in which everyone is getting dogs and expects them to have some issue that needs fixing has just totally reset our cultural expectations for dogs. I expect my dogs to be man’s best friend. I’ve had several dogs and the worst thing any of them ever did was chew my shoes or steal a dirty paper towel.

So what is the difference? Why are golden retrievers not in the news for eating or attacking when hungry?

Pit bulls are seem as "tough" guy dogs and attract unsavory characters who abuse and breed them. Goldens are expensive do not have the same image.

Most Pitbull owners are genuinely nice people who believe that they can be rehabilitated.

And most are nice dogs!

Until they’re not.

I think there should be a requirement that breeders, shelters and rescues that provide dangerous dog breeds be a licensed b. carry liability insure that covers the life of the dog and c only sell to a licensed owner. Owners who want to adopt or buy one must a. Complete a safety training course b. Get a license which would require completion of an obedience training class and spay/neuter and c carry liability insurance that covers the life of the dog.

This would cut down on the demand and stop rescues from pushing dangerous dogs onto moronic owners.

It’s really only pit bulls that delight in murder.

The problem is defining them. This way just make it universal

Most dogs are so unlikely to maim or kill anyone that it’s ridiculous to ask everyone to pay for liability insurance.

Amish are pretty isolated. How would we know if no one reported it?

No it shouldn’t. Breeds determined to be statistically more likely to inflict critical or mortal injury should be subject to this. Chihuahuas are overbred , bite, fill up shelters and get rehomed but no one is getting killed by a chihuahua.

We'd know if kids or adults died.

Any dog can bite. Leave it to the insurance analysts to figure out pricing

Perhaps they keep them to weak to attack. They also debark the poor animals so nio one can hear them
