I gotta say I'm not an expert with pit bulls, and I can't write umpteen lines authoratively about why they're okay. I've met three pit bulls in my live, and they were all sweethearts. Wilson was the biggest wuss of a dog I've ever met. The other two were always energetic and happy to see anyone. My buddies had gotten the dogs as pups and simply raised them like any other well cared for dog. None of them ever acted in an unpredictable manner.
I really do think that any dog can snap and attack, they are dogs, you know? It's got to come down to the way the animal was raised, and how it's trained/controlled. I've met far more Dobermans that were violent, exciteable, hated anyone new, and were just generally scarey than any other animal. I've met Chows that I wouldn't come near without a shotgun. I've even met a Lab that was a grumpy bitch.
A breed may have a stereotype attached to it just like anything else.
Also, you know the media is going to report the living fuck out of a pit bull attack, and ignore the 45 other attacks reported the same day. So, take things in perspective.
