Predictably my facebook feed is now full of "Blame the owner not the dog!" posts I am of the opinion that you'd have to be pretty naive not to realise that some breeds really should not be kept as pets.

Certain breeds are obviously more powerful than othersbut no dog is inherently an attack risk. Dogs that attack are usually badly trained or have behavioural problems from mistreatment.
Edit: I have no idea whether this is based off a news story or not and I hate dogs.

I don't really see why that's relevant.Dogs in general have evolved to be really fucking good at hunting and killing in packs and that's not seen as any kind of bar to ownership. What the breed was bred for has nothing to do with temprament.
Or to put it another way, bull terriers are no more likely to fight things than old english sheepdogs are. Bull terriers are simply better at it when they do.
