“Oh I have seen the oceans of ‘information’ posted by pro pit people. Doesn’t change the well earned reputation of pits for unprovoked, sustained damage most often resulting in death. I have tried talking through that kind of padding that the pro pit throws - it was like speaking to a wall. The need for the pro pit lobby to deny the actual, documented behavior of pits is too strong to give way to reason.”

I could go on and on with this, but your mind is already made up.
The truth of the matter is that 99.9999% of the time, the problem is the OWNER/HANDLER of the dog. Even this story was very dismissive of the lack of a strong Alpha in the pack.
Yes, there are bad dogs, but they are FAR less common than bad/incompetent owners.
