I don't understand the issue, I've seen 3 attacks in 3 days, and now 1 dog killed at my dog park?

What gives?

Why is this breed so vicious? I refuse to socialize my dog with them because of his size, I don't understand how a breed can be so vicious???

Now I do understand they have a history of violence because people have historically been raised to kill, but the owners I keep seeing are not thugs, so I'm unsure if their just perhaps mean dogs by nature?

I almost feel like due to the fact the dogs are so feared by many, and dogs can smell fear, they require much more dominance (since they are Pack dogs and need you to be the leader)
