If you want an education on Pitbulls, just go to the local Animal Shelter and see that 75% of the dogs there are Pitbulls. People get them as pups and then dump them into shelters when they can’t control them.

You learned the wrong lesson. The lesson is about the dog owners (if that’s what you call someone who gets a dog, and then refuses to train the poor beast).
It’s not that they cannot control them, it is the fact that training them is more effort than they wanted to put into it.
That being said, I’m a retriever guy. Give me a goofy golden, or a lab who cannot be without a tennis ball. Hell, I’ll take ‘em both.
Dead on.
I beg to differ, This is precisely the fact I discerned. People buy these dogs are not ready for the commitment and more important the realization that these animals do have aggressive tendencies. Please spare me the anecdotes. I wish I had a dollar for every Pit bull owner who bragged about how powerful the jaw muscles are in this breed. Owning a Pit Bull is a power trip. I for one have more respect for People who play Russian Roulette with a gun instead of Russian Roulette with a Pit bull. When A gun goes off it's only the person hold the gun who dies. When a Pit bull goes off it's usually some poor kid who gets mauled. I don't like or trust them and I certainly don't like it when I find one roaming my neighborhood.
