Then I can take a pit bull as a puppy. Raise it as a normal house dog and not teach it anything. It then attacks someone, hurting them badly or killing them. People then say "oh... it can't be the dog, it has to be the owners".

Much of a dog's temperament relates to it's breed history and genetic inheritance. I won't go too deep into the history of the Pit Bull as there are many good books and websites that cover the origin and history of the breed. It is common knowledge however, that the Pit Bull breed was developed for blood sports: Bull baiting, bear baiting, and later, dogfighting. What is not common knowledge is that in the days of organized dogfighting, the handlers of the combatants were habitually IN THE PIT with the dogs for the duration of the fight. They were required to pick up and separate the dogs several times while the dogs were in full fight frenzy. Before the fight, the handlers were required to wash each other's dogs, and after the fight, the badly injured dogs were often treated at ringside by strangers. Any dog that attacked or bit a handler (even if it was the other dog's handler) or anyone else at any time was culled, often on the spot, and would never have been bred.

some people just shouldn't own a dog that they can't handle. any dog at any time can turn on it's owner. especially when the owner doesn't know shit about dogs or how to train them. you don't even know why the dog attacked. how do you know this bitch never trained her dog to not let her near it's food? she might have just reached down to pet the fucker while the dog was eating and it instinctively fucking raped her.
i was almost mauled to death by a dog (japanese akita) as a child had it not been for an owner with a 2x4 i would have. so i've learned a little bit about dogs since then. breeds have a lot to do with the temperament of dogs but owners are responsible for knowing how to train them as well. if anything they should make it illegal to just hand out pets to unfit fucking owners. quit blaming the dogs for this shit.
