First of all the entire post was off topic.

Second of all it is not the breed but irresponsible owners that have made them what they are today. Any dog out there can turn on their owners but with proper trsining, love and affection most dogs including Pits can be wonderful, faithful loyal dogs.

What about Bull Mastifs, Rotts, Dobermans, Cane Corsos, Boxers. Should they all be destroyed or banned just because they have made the news or people are scared of them? Why punish the responsible owners out there?

I kind of figured that that would be the reaction that I would get.

The truth is that several of the other breeds that are mentioned do not have the jaw force that pit pulls do. Not the breed you say??? Killing is the only thing that this breed was designed and bred to do. I am sure that everyone that owned one of these dogs that has killed a child was saying the exact same thing as some of you all are saying. And it has happened time and time again. A responsible owner to me would be someone that is wise enough to see the potential danger, and choose another breed. Same thing to me as having a rattlesnake as a pet. If you like snakes, get a garter snake. I personaly just cant understand the fascination.

Terrible thing that someone would have to have on their conscience for the rest of their lives to me, if I owned one that killed a child.

Sorry for being off topic, as you said.
