Shouldn't people be wanting something a little more safe for a pet- like perhaps an American Alligator*?

I don’t remember the last time that a pug mauled two toddlers to death

My lab, to this day, will run slap over our daughter. She was 6 when we got the dog and even as a puppy it'd plow her over. The dog, like all labs, also gnawed on her non-stop....with sharp little puppy needle teeth. They are thick as thieves. The nights that the dog has not slept in the bed with her can be counted on one hand. The dog worships the ground that my daughter walks on....she was walking her once and a Dalmatian charged them and the Lab nearly at that dog up. It is entirely possible that a 40 pound gangly lab could've hurt our daughter plowing her over...the child never complained and their relationship is the kind of stuff books are written about. Life is a series of near misses and close calls, going through life fearing life is, in my opinion, no way to live. I will promise you this, if you asked my daughter or the dog about it they would not change anything about their life together, bruises and teeth marks included.
That's not living in fear to keep an eye on dogs and any animals for that matter, even your own, when it comes to your children, especially when they are babies and toddlers. Age of the child/children, age of the dog(s), and how long they've been around each other are all factors that I would consider as I go along, but I'm going to err on the side of caution. None of the interactions you mention cause me any concern, though I'd say a puppy that starts its life with a 6-year old child is a bit different than a baby that starts its life with a 6-year-old dog. I exercise more caution with the latter than the former.

Let me find a pit bull on my property and it's lights out, on sight
The people who insist on letting dogs run off-leash while hiking (or anywhere else for that matter) are the worst.
I'm walking my dog on-leash, pit mix runs up off leash to mine. My dog is instantly on edge because shes restrained and doesn't do well when first meeting other dogs anyway. Told the owners to restrain their dog or I would do it for them.

So weird how my 4 month old nephew has been totally fine in the house with a golden and a lab. Guess my sister got lucky.
Goldens and labs can almost sense it’s a baby and don’t want to bother him, they literally just leave him alone. There’s about 3 seconds of curiosity, then they walk off.
Honestly frick pit bulls. I don’t know why people get them.

apologists make zero sense.
It's the owners NOT THE DOGS.
Okay, so you are implying that breeds like labs that are owned by many many many many more owners are just better owners?
So maybe the argument is we need to ban pit bull OWNERS from owning any dogs? And pit bulls would just be normal if labrador owners took care of them?

Friend's daughter was mauled by THEIR pit bull
Boss's daughter was mauled by neighbor's pit bull
Friend's TWO pit bulls killed each other when they turned on each other.

I think it’s a good comparison that he’s making. No one ever wants to blame African-Americans for the problems they have in their culture. They want to blame everyone else and draw attention to the fact that “anyone can do these terrible things”………Yes anyone can, but right now most violent crime comes from African Americans even though they’re a small group. People apply a similar standard to pit bulls. They want to draw attention to the idea that any dog can do something terrible like this and ignore the fact that most dog maulings are from pit bulls.

I don't understand why people would have this type of dog if you have small children in your home. You read about these types of stories all the time and an INNOCENT child suffers for it. It all could have been prevented. It wasn't leukemia. It wasn't a car wreck. It wasn't a shooting. IT WAS A frickING PIT BULL! A dog that you definitely did not need to get.
Personally, I wouldn't get any dog until my youngest is older but if I do get a dog, it's either a lab or a beagle.

And people get really defensive about their pit bulls.
People who call these things "Pitties" should be slapped. There's nothing cute or sweet about them.

You have a point. Keeping a child safe is the single most important job a parent has. It requires vigilance. It doesn't matter what the dog looks like, a parent has to use judgement and remove any threat. The existence of a dog is not a threat. I would bet that any dog that seriously injures anyone has displayed aggression that was ignored prior to doing so...

I have a friend who had a pit for about 6 years without any signs of aggression or malice toward anyone. Last year, they were watching their grandson (I think he was about 3-4 years old). The kid and the dog were playing together but the dog suddenly turned and bit the little boy in the side of the face. No warning, no reason for the attack. Kid had to get his ear sewn back together and some stiches in the face. Luckily, he is fine and just has a small scar.
My friend DOA'd the dog as soon as they got back from ER.

Yes they do. And the same ones that get defensive are the same ones that will choose their fricking dog over their child.

Also "Pibbles" makes my fricking skin crawl.
You ever notice that if you leave a Lab, beagle, rat terrier outside in a cage and never socialize with it, nothing happens...but with a Pit Bull, you have to socialize it with other dogs and people, get it trained, and basically treat it better than your own kids so it won't fricking snap and hurt someone.
