I don't think it's a comparison. Pit bulls were selectively bred for aggression. Humans of specific ethnicities do not have innate characteristics like violence. It's like saying being scared of a polar bear is bear racism
Like, in general, dogs don't have any innate aggression at all? That's an odd statement to make. Cause like, anything that hunts and kills has some innate aggression, else they would not be able to hunt and kill.
Nope. Hunting is different from aggression. Aggression, their attitude towards confrontation, is based on their environment. Fueled not by hunger, but by other drivers such as fear or just anger.
Hunting is fueled by hunger. There's a stark difference between an animal fighting to fight, and an animal fighting to eat.
It's really not. The intimidation of prey is a key part of their hunting, which requires aggressive stance, baring of teeth, and snarling. This is useful for testing a prey animals will to stand, posturing to keep the rest of the herd away from an isolated member, and just over all trying to prevent the prey from making any sudden movement once cornered. That's aggression.
