Pit bulls were bred to kill!

That is untrue. Pit bulls were bred to fight, and even then, owners found it necessary to "toughen" them and make them mean to ensure that they would fight. Back when dogfighting was legal, dogs that showed aggression towards humans were culled. This is because three people were in the fighting ring with the dogs at all times. These people were the owners or handlers of the opposing dogs and a judge. Pit bulls were actually bred to not show aggression towards humans.

Please read the history of the dog type. Facts are readily available.

I have read the AKC Dog Book about the history of the breed, white washed. Killing the other dog wasn’t mandatory but it certainly does happen. The killer instinct was what they were after, and they sure got it, in spades. Aggression against humans may not have been desired but is a by product in the dog that dog fighters bred for. Don’t try to tell me any differently, you just make yourself look foolish.

You will never find that I said the breed should be banned because I haven’t said that. I do think the tolerance of aggressive dogs should be zero.
