I don’t defend the dogs that did this, but the entire breed should not be condemned.

I don't condemn the breed, but I do recognize that they were originally bred to have the aggressive hunter killer instincts most of them exhibit.

In my view the so-called Pit Bull terrier is an exotic breed of animal that is only marginally suitable for ordinary domestic ownership. I'm of the opinion that they should be kept in the same way that people keep other dangerous animals, that is, under strict regulatory guidelines, permitting, kenneling, etc.

Check the history of Pitbulls in America before you make a statement like that. The pit bull terrier was THE family dog in America in 20’s 30’s and even into the forties, but I’m guessing your not old enough to remember The Little Rascals or Spanky and Our Gang. The Pit bull Terrierier is not an exotic breed by any stretch of the imagination. And I and my Mastador interact with at least five or six every time we go to the dog park. And the biggest trouble makers I have had to deal with are small dogs that start fights, not the Pit Bulls.
