Mal, whose fault is it that the dogs are raised to be fighting dogs?? It can be nobody's fault but the owners. Let's kill them while we're at it. After all they were the ones who trained them right? The fact that the ATT ranks them highly in the temperament tests year after year says plenty. They aren't timebombs waiting to go off, they don't attack for no reason, and they are generally good dogs. A few bad ones shouldn't condemn the whole breed. I don't own a Pit and I probably never will simply because it's not the right breed for me. That doesn't mean I'm scared of them. It wasn't long ago when everyone thought the Doberman was the worst dog in the world yet it is one of the most easily trained dogs, and one of the best service dogs. I think that if people actually knew what the fuck a pit bull was, the number of bites reported would go down. Many people assume a stocky dog is a pit, WRONG. I'd also be willing to bet that if all bites were reported you'd see shocking numbers as to which breeds were more apt to bite. I have a feeling you'd find the pit towards the bottom of the list.
