I know some on FR have a bias against Pit Bulls, but they are the nicest animals on Earth, IMO.
Also I will probably get banned for stating this, but the crazy liberal Huffington Post should be congratulated for their advocacy of pit bulls.
I am a Trump/Cruz leaning conservative, but don't understand the hatred against this breed.

Shouldn’t this be in Breaking News?
Ive read about and seen too many cases of that sweet family pet going berserk and ripping somebody apart.
Meh. Ridgebacks are just so much more awesome.
“I am a Trump/Cruz leaning conservative, but don’t understand the hatred against this breed.”
Not even a guess?
But they kill more people than any other breed.
I have a friend who has a pit female, and she is very friendly. Greets people by snorting, stomping her feet, licking you, and wagging her tail
Bad press......had a biker friend in Laud owned one..thing was a lap dog,played with a bowling ball but I wouldn’t go in that house if the owners weren’t home,,,,,Armageddon
Pittbulls have a checkered history. They are the combination of an English bulldog, (strength), and a rat terrior, (tenacity). They were bred to fight.
In the early 1900s, pitbulls were known as “nurse dogs” because they were so protective and good with children. Petey, the dog in “The Little Rascals” was a pittbull.
The only downside I see to having a pitbull, is that if you get a bad one, and all breeds produce mean individuals, those dogs can kill you.
Where’s Chet when we need him?
They’re misunderstood? I don’t know anyone who understands Charles Manson, but I wouldn’t want to adopt him.
I like my neighbors pittie much more than the other neighbors yappy little bastard that I’d love to kick into the middle of next week.
I had a Great Dane/Ridgeback mix that lost an eye to glaucoma. At the same time, I had a Great Dane/Rottweiler mix. The Ridgeback would go after the other one all the time, but they were both great dogs, and believe me, nobody ever got in our house. For a while, I lived in a rough part of Oklahoma City, and one morning found the two of them playing tug o’ war with a pair of jeans that hadn’t been in the yard the night before. Someone got the scare of their life, that’s for sure.
Yeah, well... I prefer a racing greyhound. If we hadn’t moved to an apartment/townhouse when I retired I would have one now.
So have I. They were bred to fight. I don't care if they non-exist.

That’s how my friend Doug’s Daisy behaved! Very sweet. Then one day she attacked him while he was on the phone. 82 stitches, and he almost bled out. Luckily his friend on the phone called 911.
