Staffs are they all vicious???

Maybe its me but I dont understand why the dogs life is of more value than the swan. Isnt it possible that with all the best intentions and good training some creatures arent meant to be pets. I understand that if I had a lion as a pet and at some point it attacked someone, it could be said it is just its nature. So why couldnt that be true of these terrier type dogs if it is there nature then surely it is irresponsible to own such dogs. It was a swan this time but what if it was a child.

Yes the certain breed could have a higher prey drive, but if it is brought up properly and controlled then it can turn out to be a nice dog that would never be aggressive. It all depends on how well the owner brings up a dog. Any breed can be aggressive if an owner looks after it poorly or teaches it to kill, ecspecially breeds that already have a naturally higher prey drive, but with the right owner, any breed can be a sweet, non-aggressive dog.

I'm not knocking staffies as such as with humans you get good and bad, I was just asking thee question if its more likely in these type of breeds thats all.

some staffs are animal aggressive, but that just depends on the dog and they aren't supposed to be human aggressive at all. you aren't supposed to show them any aggression whatsoever.

As I said in the begining I have only had my dog for a couple of months so the world of dogs is all new to me, all I can comment on is what I have seen it was a very scary thing to witness first hand and my children were with me and my 7 yr old daughter especially was very shaken by the incident.
