Those dogs are bred for one thing. To kill.

I've read plenty of articles about the American Pit Bull Terrier to know that it can be a loving, dependable companion if bred and raised correctly. But it appears the majority of the specimens are ill-bred, unpredictable, and dangerous. I can understand why so many communities consider banning them.

Pit bulls and Rottweilers to breeds that should be extinct, in my opinion.

"Those dogs are bred for one thing. To kill."

I'm not so sure about that. Dogs' dispositions are caught from their owners.

I was walking my little 8" tall mixed breed one morning. It was dark, before sunrise time. She encountered a bigger dog - they sniffed eachother and that was that.

Then I spotted a man in the half light across the street. He came over for the dog. I asked what kind of dog that is. "Pit Bull" was his answer.

The breeders maintain the dogs aren't mean unless they're trained that way.
And plenty of them are.
