Having rescued several pitbull / pitbull mixes from fights and / or shelters I am here to tell you that the dogs are not inherently vicious. The owners / animal abusers who make them vicious are HUMANS and they are the ones who should be feed to the zoo animals. The fact that you state “Pit Bulls and other viscious dogs” shows me that you are grievously misinformed. Dogs of any kind can be made mean by an abusive owner. Pit bulls are the current “bad dog” before them it was dobermans, German shepherds, rottweilers, and mastiffs. These dogs have an inherent need to defend and form deep bonds with their owners. Here is a little factoid for you... the Pit bull was called the “nany dog” in the 1800... because it would guard the children of its master with its life... the most violent dog I have ever run across is the freaking Chihuahua... but I dont think it is inherently vicious, mildly insane yes but not vicious.

“the Pit bull was called the “nany dog” in the 1800”

That was the American bulldog, e.g. ‘Petey’ in the Little Rascals. They have no terrier in them.
“Pit” bulls were bulldogs bred with terriers to rat or fight one another in enclosed spaces, in pits, since dog fighting was illegal in England, as bull baiting was banned.
Pit bull terriers are time bombs waiting to explode. It is in their genetics—nature, not nurture.
Also, werk on the gramur.
