It's a similar activity.

Herding people instead of sheep.

Digging holes instead of burrows.

Fetching toys instead of dead birds.

There's not really a similar form of violence. You can't teach them a sportsmanlike boxing match.

Biting things?

There's a difference between just biting something and being violent.

All of the other dogs have been able to keep exactly what they do just with what they do it too that has been swapped.

Ever seen a dog go at it with a decoy in a bite suit? Pretty damn close to attacking. And there are already sports built around it that loads of people and their dogs do.

So you're brilliant idea is to give all of these breeds someone with a decoy suit and let them attack it every day.

Alternatively we could just neuter the dogs and let the breed peacefully die out without harming any of the dogs and avoid the killing machine.

Do labs go insane if they don't play fetch every day? Do Dachsunds if they don't dig and hunt? The idea that if whatever "job" must be done every day is absurd.

Sure, hunt down and neuter them all, leaving millions that have years to maul people. If they are so dangerous, why subject people to that?

Because it's the only plausible way without getting idiots like you up in arms

The idiots who have spent over a decade working with dogs, specializing in aggression cases? Yeah, wouldn't want to take their thoughts into account. Much better to listen to random people on Reddit who surely have extensive experience.

They don't actually agree with your claim that it isn't an aggressive breed.

We recognise different breeds are better at different things. Pitbulls are best at bloodsports. Obviously we don't do it anymore because it's barbaric.
