pit bulls- is hatred taught, not bred?

Girl on Facebook posted that pic with pitbulls and that saying. Do you believe that or no?

slow99 was right.

She says pit bulls meanness is taught, they aren't bred that way. I disagree, I think they are hard wired with a itchy trigger finger

Pit Bull's were brought to this country for dogfighting, not pets. John P Colby was the first man to sell pit bulls in the USA and he was the most famous pit bull breeder and dogfighter of all time.

Their inclination to latch onto something and not let go is just natural instinct. Its no different than a cat knowing how to use a litter box when its born...

So what do cats do in the wild?

I don't believe that hatred itself is instinctive. They naturally want to please their owners but like any dog, if left to develop wildly, they will try to assert dominance in order to take rank in their community, whether small or large. They go so far as to fight or show aggression if there is a positive reaction by the owner afterward. They learn what the owner wants and likes, then they go to any extreme to please. My girlfriends pit bull gets depressed if you get mad at her or yell at her. She gets excited when you act kindly to her and she is able to sense neutral gestures so she never acts defensively toward new guests or animals either. If left to play with other animals, usually both will try to assert dominance upon eachother until one submits, and it is usually in the form of healthy and agressive play. If she knows she is on another dog's territory, she is the one to submit, regardless of the size of her aggressor.

There are no such things as cats in the wild.

I agree. I loved my ol'girl but she caught my little sis by the hair one day, locked up and wouldn't let go. I felt totally different about my dog after that. A week later she was licking my hand and started to nibble on it lightly. Seconds later she bit me and didn't let go. Had to punch that bitch in the nose to let me go.
