As the saying goes, PUNISH THE DEED, NOT THE BREED. JEEZ, has anyone of you people ever even OWNED a pit bull?!?!?! People can't continue to blame these poor dogs for the actions of owners who inappropriately raised neglected them. It's as though their is some big conspiracy circulating to rid the world of these POOR DOGS! What ever happened to the idea of knowing the facts before you are quick to come to a conclusion?! There is this crazy misconception in the media that ALL these dogs are untamed beastS just waiting to victimize people. But, in reality, who are actually the victims here? Stereotypes as usual continue to steadily deteriorate our societies as sure as the stars remain in the sky. People can't expect to build trust or strong relations in an age where communication is becoming ever essential to our advancements if they continually choose to remain IGNORANT of facts(and YES, this does go way beyond the stereotypes simply inflicted upon these dogs)!!!!! A poodle who is improperly raised can be just as cruel as any pit bull, but because of the breed's sheer strength and drive, the damage inflicted by a poodle does not surpass that of a pit bull's. These dogs aren't wild beasts that the media and UNKNOWLEDGEABLE people are continually claiming them to be! No! In reality they're actually very loving, loyal, and protective pets if they are raised properly in a stable, loving environment. And no, these are NOT the words from a respectable breeder who simply wants to alleviate the bad hype surrounding these dogs so that I can continue to make my profits, but actually, THESE ARE THE WORDS of a PITBULL and DOG LOVER who has raised four of these dogs over the past 15 years - and here's the SHOCKER! - I had my first pit bull at the age of 8! Now, go on and throw your plentiful sarcastic remarks at my response, because unlike the majority of you, I can actually give a VERY legit opinion on these dogs simply because I HAVE experienced everything there is to experience with living with these dogs, since I have WELCOMED, RAISED, TRAINED, AND CARED FOR THESE DOGS FOR A GREAT DEAL OF MY SHORT LIVED LIFE!!!!!

Welcome to FR.
Lots of interesting discussion here on many topics.

Don't let the breed banners get you down.
They're narrow minded control freaks that really aren't concerned about the problem of dog bites and attacks.
They get some sort of pseudo-moral high from attacking pit bulls and their owners
but come up dry when asked for comprehensive solutions to all dog attacks.
They're all hat and no cattle.
