The simple point is that your experience, and the ones of others are sufficient to condemn those dogs only, not the entire breed. The reason there are bad pit bulls out there is because there are people who want bad pit bulls. I have had 3 Amstaffs, and they were the best pets one could possibly imagine. Yet, there are people here who absolutely refuse to accept that such a thing is possible and lump my dogs together with the ones you apparently encountered. I must be a meth lab dealer who enjoys frightening my neighbors is how one fool puts it.

And honestly, what bothers me the most is not people's attitudes on this issue, but their breathtaking ignorance.

That was not my position at all. Just like people, animals have to be taken on a case by case basis. I admitted to having a difficult time with this issue because of my fear from this experience. I told my experience because it was relevant to the thread and because I have torn feelings between my fear and my belief in personal responsibiltiy and limited government. I dont think anyone has a right to tell you what kind of dog to own and I do not think all pit bulls are evil. Although, some on this thread seem to lump all pit bulls in with their wonderful family pets and think that because of their good experiences with pit bulls that any “horror” story must be fabricated in an attempt to gain sympathy as evidenced by Don W outright calling me a liar and a drama queen.
