Raj: Dogs that have been traditionally used for violent tasks should not be kept as pets  Hardly a day goes by when the newspapers do not feature a story where a child has been mauled by a Pit Bull or a Rottweiler  These animals' innate desire to attack and guard make them an unmitigated danger to young children who might accidentally cause the animal to feel threatened  Melanie: That is an unfair assessment of these animals' character  Any innate traits that have been acquired through breeding and bloodlines can be overcome by proper training and discipline
For instance, many Bloodhounds, known for their hunting ability, have been trained to not attack rabbits or squirrels
It offers a theory that harmonizes both the stated position and the stated conclusion.
