Well since I'm the only one who suggested it, I'll assume this was aimed at me.

First, Pit Bulls aren't a species - they're just one of hundreds of breeds of the canine species.

And I wasn't singling out Pit Bulls due to violence - Hell, <i>all</i> dog attacks are violent. I was talking about the ferocity and the nature of injuries that Pit Bulls are capable of inflicting. And their unpredictability.

I said <i>"Pit Bulls are especially dangerous because of the power of their jaws, and the severity of the wounds they can inflict - especially on children."</i> If a child gets bit by a German Shepherd or even a Rottweiler, they'll have puncture wounds, usually (not always) on their extremities. And most breeds will not press an attack after a bite. On the other hand, I had a friend whose 7-year old son was attacked by a Pit Bull, and it tore most of his face and part of his stomach off his body. And it wouldn't stop attacking him and a few people who intervened until it was shot. That 's a hell of a lot different than getting a dog bite!

I'm sure most Pit Bulls will live out their lives without ever biting a human - but then again, so will most sharks - that doesn't mean I want some compensating moron dumping one in my pool.

You're entitled to your opinion, but there's no way you will ever convince me that this breed's dangers don't far outweigh their usefulness.

And please forgive me if I don't off my violent human self just cuz you suggested it.
