I have never dealt with a bad pit bull. Sometime the ones I have seen have acted scary but have been pussy cats. I know that they can do a lot of damage if they attack but if you check the statics they are not the biggest biters. Poodles are.
I question banning them all together. We have a Chow, who also have bad reputations.
Both of the Chows we have had were brought up with a lot of love and human contact and neither would hurt a fly. The Male puts on a terrific show of aggression if you come in the yard. In fact he has broken the window out twice "going after something". You would swear he is a killer, but if you keep coming he just retreats and keeps growing and barking, usually from behind mommies legs.
The point is they are not dangerous dogs, but people think they are. Same with most pits if they are brought up right.
