Actually, the quote doesn’t work against us. An expert is saying what most of us law abiding, responsible pit bull owners have been saying for a long time.
Yes, it does. I've had one pet mauled by a pit bull and I've had to kill one in the street to prevent another attack.
While "responsible" pit bull owners may exist, I've never met one. Without exception they were scum indifferent to the danger their animals posed to the community.
