The Spin

Narrative A

People jump to conclusions when they hear about pit bull attacks because they're misinformed. As with any breed, whether or not a pit bull is aggressive depends on when it was spayed or neutered and how its owner raises and treats it. Even if society chooses to ban them, maintaining such a policy would cost far too much.

Narrative B

People who want to ban pit bulls aren't jumping to conclusions — they use common sense and follow the statistics. Pit bulls are disproportionately more inclined to maul people — especially children — because they're biologically wired toward aggressive behavior and built to impose maximum carnage on their victims. There's no reason not to ban them.
