I do blame the people who are to blame. I blame niggers, I blame the white trash down my block that keeps breeding the shit out of their AmStaff bitch and keeps 16 pups in a mud yard where they're constantly straining at the fence growling and snapping at the school children walking by, and I blame the 100lb roasties who rescue these dogs from shelters that hide their bite history and then think they can somehow outlove hundreds of years of genetic programming.
Sure, not all pitbulls/staffies, I know. But when one breed group tops the human/other pet mauling/death charts year after year, you'd be a fool to ignore the pattern.
You're saying that pitbull/staffie owners are universally shittier than owners of all other breeds? I guess I agree there.
The main problem with the pitbull, beyond bad owners,, is their strength. They kill more often, but bite less often than many other breeds. But unlike those more aggressive breeds, pitbull bites can maim and kill.
Every yippee dog that exists, if it were large enough, would take the place of pitbulls as the most dangerous killer dogs. I haven't met a dachshund that didn't bite. They're crazy aggressive and territorial, but they're tiny and weak. Give them 250 pound bite force and you have Killers.
Pitbulls are chosen by dog fighters because they're built for fighting. Tight skin, short hair, medium build, they're strong and fast, hard to get ahold of, especially when the owners cut off their ears and tails. Bigger dogs like mastiffs, Rottweilers, and German shephards make bad fighting dogs because they are easier for the opposing dog to get ahold of. Folds of skin, long hair, long legs, etc. More targets for the opponent to grab and tear.
Teach a German Shephard to kill people, and it will kill people with greater efficiency and power than any pitbull. But, against a pitbull, it'd likely lose.
Pitbulls were bred for animal aggression, not human aggression. That'd be dumb, as they'd be aggressive toward their owner too. You train a dog to be aggressive to humans. Else you may as well just fight wolves.
Obviously a little snappy dog would be more dangerous if it were bigger/stronger. I'm not sure I'm getting your point there. The whole package that is a pitbull/staffie includes all the physical characteristics you listed, which optimize it for bloodsport, plus the gameness that is still intentionally bred into them that inclines them to snap with little or no warning, makes them seemingly immune to pain when they start attacking something, and which overrides their sense of self-preservation. All that combines into an extremely dangerous animal when it's genetics kick in and it acts on its bloodsport instincts and it makes them inherently far more dangerous than the toothy dachshund.
I know they were bred primarily for animal aggression. And they show it by leading the charge when it comes to the mauling/death of other pets. And that still doesn't explain at all why they also top the human injury/death chart every single year.
Like I said, they're perfect for dog fighting, so dog fighters choose them. Dog fighters train them to kill other dogs. They also often train them to be aggressive to anyone but the owner. That's why they top the charts. Same reason semi-auto pistols are the most likely guns to be used in a crime. They're perfect for the task.
As for breeding aggressive behavior, pitbulls were bred to be aggressive toward small game, and for baiting dangerous animals like bears and bulls, just like the English and American bulldogs. Similarly the Rhodesian Ridgeback was bred to hunt lions and guard diamond mines. You don't want to run into a Ridgeback that's been trained to be aggressive toward people.
Overall point is, make pitbulls extinct, and niggers will start fighting some other breed, and it will become the new deadliest dog. And on and on.
