Because, like true terrier temperament, they won’t let it go. They’re tenacious, holding on and determined not to merely say “get out of here”, but to rip apart.

Interesting chart — If I’m reading that right:

While Pit Bulls account for only 4.4% of all dogs, they are responsible for 65% of all dog attack deaths and maimings in US and Canada.

Well, there's your problem.
