Pits, pit mixes, and whatever euphemistic names they are called are dangerous to other pets and people...end of discussion. My wonderful neighbors had a couple, one male and one female. The male was friendly and normal in his interactions with me; the female acted like she wanted to kill me every time I went to the mail box up at the main road. I never went without my .45 in my hand; owners solution was ‘drive your car to get mail’ and they thought it was great entertainment I reckon. I don’t care if my neighbors have a rhino as long as it doesn’t threaten me on my own property. I won’t be bitten by a pit or any other dog on my own property if I can help it. Both dogs eventually died, hbc and heart worms I guess-not at my hand. Their dogs are continuously disposable.. Pits are especially popular with societal losers...they feel empowered by owning a dangerous macho dog I reckon.
