I think that you are delusional. First, if a "
responsible" pitbull owner is ONLY someone who provides their dog the intense training that you describe and they are ALWAYS with their dog which would be necessary in order to ALWAYS be in command, there would be very few people (if anyone) who are able/qualified to own such a dog other than perhaps law enforcement. Second, I agree that there WAS a good reason for EVERY attack. The owner, however, will probably never understand that reason. It could be as simple as a child reaching for an object the dog perceived to be theirs, triggering the "bred-in" guarding instinct. It could be the natural sounds and motions of children at play that triggered the dog's "bred in" fighting instincts. It could be that someone made eye contact with the dog in a way that the dog perceived as threatening that triggered the "bred-in" protecting instinct. Or thousands of other unidentified reasons. Of course all dogs could potentially have these instincts, but not all dog attacks are as vicious, dangerous, and deadly as those that are so common with the unique "bred-in" jaws of a pit bull. I do not understand why anyone, even experienced pet trainers, would take the chance of owning a potentially dangerous animal and then give it access to children, neighbors, or other pets. They need to be held accountable for their dog's lethal actions, but for anyone whose child, loved one, or pet has been killed or mauled by a pitbull, there will be no way to find closure from such a needless tragedy.
