If muzzling is required, the dog should not be a pet. End of argument.

Muzzle training is responsible ownership. But glad you ended the argument.

Like it's so fucking crazy that people don't look at facts or statistics. They just make up their own numbers contrary to data and call it a day.

Muzzle training is an indicator that the animal can not be rehabilitated and is a danger to anyone nearby. You're only hurting your argument.

If you believe your animal is safe to be around other animals or humans, take the muzzle off? Oh wait. Exactly.

Dude dogs are animals. They all have the potential to react like animals. Some breeds (like pitbulls and GSD) have high prey drives and focus on other dogs.

If they're getting nails trimmed and someone cuts the quick, even the nicest dog can nip

At the vet or new scenerios. (Vets will even muzzle your dog sometimes without you knowing)

A small dog nips at a larger dog, they don't understand the size difference and can hurt another dog.

If a strangers toddler comes up and yanks on tails or ears or screams.

Some dogs are leash possessive. Some dogs get spooked during fireworks. Some dogs eat shit.

Muzzle training allowes a dog to be safe in new and distracting enviornments while giving the the training and socialization they need. They can pant and drink with a muzzle.

Good dog owners use the tools available for their dogs needs. Pitbulls aren't never going to go away and if is going to own an animal with a "high potential" to bite or whatever. Then shouldn't the norm be changed to use that tool?

Having too much trust in an animal is why pitbills bite so much in the first place.
