      Almost all dogs have that ability. That’s what their molars are for… That’s a trait they retain from their wolf ancestors.

        Small breed dogs already outnumber and outlive large breeds with a smaller environmental footprint.

        But sure

          Having been a dog owner for all my life, small breed dogs are also way more likely to have a bad temperament and bite people.

            And how often do they fatally maul?

            If I accidentally shoot you with an airsoft bb, it’ll hurt, and that’s bad.

            If I accidentally shoot you with a 9mm it’ll kill.

              Except you don’t “accidentally shoot” someone. That’s negligence.

                Keep going with that one. What’s it called when you accidentally let your dog maul someone?

      Awww, adorable, you think other dogs have safe jaws and aren’t an inherently unsafe animal to have around.

        Lol I owned a German Shepard. I’m fine with banning all those breeds.

        But pitbulls would be The reason it had to happen.
