You conveniently leave out the fact that this refers to a SPECIFIC BREED - the "American Pit Bull Terrier". As I just stated, using the type name in your breed name doesn't mean there is just 1 breed. There are Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, Whippets, Afghan Hounds, Irish Wolfhounds, and Russian Wolfhounds. They are all "greyhounds". Only some of them use the "greyhound" as part of their breed name. And just because they don't, doesn't mean they aren't "greyhounds".
You are missing a few other breeds that are "pit bull terriers"
-Staffordshire Bull Terrier
-American Bulldog
etc etc etc
Reading the 1st few paragraphs of that article gives more to that lie. In fact, it points out that indeed "bull terriers" come from bulldogs partly - in fact, "bulldog" is another type! There is a Bulldog, a French Bulldog, etc.
Regardless, macht nichts regarding their origins or purpose. I simply am against banning living things that too many idiots don't know how to identify and cannot even be documented guaranteed (believe me, while it's pretty good, the AKC is imperfect in documenting genuine purebreds, either - personal experience) without tyrannical SS-type oversight (which would just take too much manpower, if nothing else).
Wristpin has "conveniently" left out a lot in his postings.
