Serial killers weren't born murderous their peers or caretakers taught them how to murder

you're right. we have far greater control over our emotions.
before i delete another stupid comment, ask yourself this question before posting:
why wouldn't you raise a wolf pup?

Oh and also it depends on how they are raised. Just like humans. If a child was raised around an abusive, hurtful family it would maybe have mental health issues. And a dog that is abused may become aggressive or scared around people because their past experiences. :)

there is an underlying truth to what you're saying, but it's not some kind of causal law. it's not as though you can predict somebody's behaviour as an adult by their childhood. plenty of psychopathic assholes, some of them serial killers, have idyllic childhoods; some people that go through hell as children grow up into very generous, free-spirited adults.
likewise, you can't really predict a dog's behaviour by the way you treat it. if it was that easy, there wouldn't be a problem - and you could go ahead and have wolves and mountain lions and bears for pets, so long as you make sure they get lots of hugs when they're young.
pit bulls are bred for violence. over time, it can be bred out. as it is, they need to be approached with caution - or not at all.

+jessica because you have to tame a wolf, but same with a bob cat, dogs aren't like yhe stereotypes that are passed around, "dogs are dangerous" pinché! thats all lies!

a wolf is a specific breed of dog. a pitbull is a specific breed of dog. a retriever is a specific breed of dog. dogs are individuals, but characteristics cluster along breed lines.

Pitts were originally a breed that took care of children in Europe back in the day. They we are known as the "Nanny" dog

see, i actually took the time - ~10 minutes - to determine the veracity of this claim, and it should be pointed out that what we call a "pit bull" is an american invention.
it may be true that the old terrier breeds were reliable family dogs, but that is not what the pit bull in front of you is. not at all.
