Another point: bragging about how bitey your dachshund is, as though that vindicates your poorly behaved pitbull, really makes me think you shouldn't own dogs. Why didn't you train your dachshund well? I have met well behaved dachshunds, so what is your excuse? Do violent and poorly trained police justify your violent and poorly trained dogs? Is that what you're trying to say?

Why do people fear pitbulls more than yappy ankle biters? I just don't get it!

Feigned ignorance will get you nowhere with me.

A rational person is more concerned around a trained tiger than a house-cat, despite both having the same capricious-but-usually-peaceful temperament. A rational person considers not only the temperament of the animal, but also the damage it could do. Numerous grown adults have been killed by pitbulls. Dachshunds? Not so much.

I think you understand this, but are pretending not to. Let me tell you, feigned ignorance is not persuasive.

Tranquilizer darts only work fast enough for self defense in video games.

> A vicious dog won't immediately attack.

It's trivial to find videos of dog attacks that contradict your absolutist assertion.
