I agree with you. Pit Bulls, like some other breeds, are like loaded guns unless carefully trained. Decades ago, German Shepherds had the same rep. Most often it comes down to the stupid, irresponsible owners. Almost all of the fighting dogs abused by Michael Vick were successfully rehabilitated and adopted into good homes.
As for the kitten, that is one adorable little sweetie....so glad he’s okay.

yes, German Shepherds had such a reputation. But my first dog was a German Shepherd back in the 1960s and she was the sweetest animal you could imagine. She was my BEST dog in all those years.
Pit bulls, like any other breed, if given the RIGHT training AND genetics, can become a great pet. Teddy Roosevelt and Patton both had one.
But unlike most other breeds, they are one of the few designed to fight other dogs in a really sick and twisted “sport”.
Hmmmm. "Successfully rehabilitated" seems awfully subjective to me. As in, they were successfully rehabiliated.... until they mauled their new owners to death.
