You say SOME dogs are bread to be aggressive... here's a clue, they are ALL meant to be aggressive, they're friggin' carnivores. Eyes on the front of their heads, sharp teeth...just because we've managed to domesticate them does not mean that they are in anyway safe. Ultimately they are wild animals and with any wild animal there is a chance, no matter how good the training, that they will go wild and hurt someone. While it's wonderful that there are laws that would make the owner of such an animal responsible for any damage done, that's cold comfort to the person who is hospitalized or worse.
Syntax Police:
Domestication refers to the process whereby a population of animals or plants becomes accustomed to human provision and control.
Wildlife refers to all non-domesticated plants, animals, and other organisms. Domesticated organisms are those that have adapted to survival with the help of (or under the control of) humans, after many generations. Therefore, domesticated animals, such as dogs, need the aid of humans to ensure survival.
