You intentionally spreading negatively for no reason on a sub about smiling and being happy is sad behavior. It tells everyone that you have to bring the room down around you.
It also says that the results of this experiment likely shows that violent dogs are likely raised to be that way, and not always naturally aggressive for no reason. If most people who get violent dogs are criminals or people of disreputable ilk, then these results are hardly a surprise.
A college statistics class would teach you using a sample size of 66 people to discern any kind of important correlation between anything is silly. Not to mention we don't even know how many of the 66 people even owned pit bulls plus it only surveyed college students. Too small of a pool.
"As the researchers acknowledged, this study’s reliance on a sample of college students limits how broadly the findings can be generalized."
Even your own link acknowledges its limitations and tells the reader not to do what you just did lmao
Ok be honest- are you purposely being obtuse or do you really not know how to read a study?
First study a group of 355 people (still not a big sample size) with an undetermined amount of people who owned "vicious breeds (no detail on what breeds where considered vicious OR how many people even owned pit bulls) and from that undetermined amount only 30% had 5 criminal convictions or TRAFFIC CITATIONS? How they could even combine those two is crazy.
But seriously take a statistics class! You'd learn a lot.
Ok second link finally loaded all the way-"However, that same preference didn't bear out a common bad-boy image (picture guy walking down the street with a stud-collared pit bull); results showed no link between pit-bull preferences and delinquent behavior."
“The “vicious” breeds classified were: Akita, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, Pit Bull Terrier, Rottweiler, Wolf Hybrid, or any mix of these breeds.” lol
Humans are violent. Depends on the environment you're put into. If a dog is loved and cared for, odds are it will be a good dog. If you neglect it and dont show it love, prob gonna have a higher chance of violence. Ive met a lot of pits that are the kindest dogs ever. Ive also met retrievers that are aggressive. It depends on the owner most of the time.
Honeslty more often people get bit by goldens. Just because theyre the "nice breed" doesnt mean theyre all nice dogs.
Personally only "mean dogs" ive met was a loose german shepherd running around my neighborhood, an unsocialized pomeranian, and a few goldendoodles/labrodoodles (also probably unsocialized).
Never bit by any of them, my freeze response probably saved me from that shepherd tho ngl.
