I grew up around these dogs years back there were no problems they were pets and the only dog that could hang out with us we were pretty rough on them even in the little rascals was one I guess the nut-cases have bred them too close and destroyed the breed now like a red nose ?? I never saw one before..
A small percentage of people who own and breed the dogs abuse them to make them ferocious attack dogs and fighting dogs. They choose Pit Bulls because of their strenght and tenacity. Most people who own the dogs are regular people. These criminals combined with the medias distortions are responsible for the breeds reputation. They were the most commonly owned breed of sog in the 1920s America.
I think it's the Governments fault! People who want a bull dog should be given a subsidized house in the country, with welfare checks delivered by supervised convicted pedophiles who smell sweaty. Solves a lot of problems!!!
