Pits have a strong following, bordering on romantic defenders of the breed sometimes.
Statistics vary, as they always do, sometimes showing that Pits (and their genetic relatives) are no more harmful than other breeds.
Nonsense.
Pits can be triggered. I've seen it, and it would make most folks feel sick to see what they do. In my case, I saw a pit bull attack a smaller dog (typical, they go after smaller, weaker targets). The pit clamped its powerful jaws on the helpless yorkie's neck and would only relax slightly to lap the blood, then tighten again.
It's in their DNA. If they get the trigger, they go native. The owner deserves a strong fine, a stronger lawsuit and perhaps criminal proceedings if laws were broken.
srmanuel, please read post #9. You are the “romantic defender.”
