The breed has a strong tendency to be violent in a bad environment. There’s way too many pits in bad environments these days being owned by people that don’t have a clue about caring for and raising dogs. That’s the worst possible combination for a pit. No wonder people and children are being killed by pits.
If ever there was a breed that needed to be outlawed, it’s the pit bull. I keep a gun handy just in case I need see a stray pit bull. I will ask no questions and claim it was going to attack me.
I would love to see the legislation for that. Let's outlaw a dog that may or may not be between thirty and eighty pounds, have drop or prick ears, a short or long muzzle, no specific pattern, be smooth or rough-coated, tall and slim or short and thick, any color including blue, red, brown, black, white, fawn, speckled, spotted, or any combination thereof.
Sound like any dog you know?
