People left on vacation and left the dogs out in the yard?
What’s wrong with this picture.
BTW most pit bulls raised by “human beings” are sweet and adorible.

Until they stop being sweet and adorable, then they tend to cause a lot of damage.
“...sweet and adorable???????”
I call BS on that one.
That’s good to know, but if one or more approaches me unattended or unleashed or both, it’s getting maced in the face until it goes away.
And if that fails, I will use other more potent measures.
This pit bull was sweet and adorable until she sicced it on a man and his daughter and also an animal control officer.

All too often, “sweet and adorable” pit bills go into attack mode for not reason.
I don’t understand irresponsible dog owners who care so little about their dogs that they just let them run free. I told my neighbor just last week that his dogs are either going to get stolen, poisoned, hit by a car or shot. These aren’t just mutts, but expensive dogs. Just laziness, I guess.
Okay, I will bite. They may be cute and adorable, but their physiology makes them dangerous. It’s akin to taming a lion or tiger. You might think they are docile, but once they strike, they do a lot of damage.
These dogs are dangerous animals, because they ARE STRONG.
Maybe. Maybe not. Not sure about that. In any event a lot of them sure make the news. As you say the owners are often the blame. The combination of a careless owner and a Pit bull can result in a vicious animal
I never trust em, particularly when I see more than one on the loose. They are descendents of dogs used in war. I had a large Doberman that took a discernable disliking to pit bull type dogs and I’ve never seen a dog smarter than my Old Doby.
Stock have been bred for hundreds of years to herd. Now it is bred into them and called, "instinct." They sort border collie pups when they are six weeks old on flocks of ducks to see if they will work or not. These pups have had very little human contact so human contact and treatment has nothing to do with the herding instinct. Either they work or they don't, but almost all do work the ducks. It, that instinct, is always there.
Pitt Bulls have been bred for hundreds of years to bite and fight. It can be enhanced by an owner or controlled by an owner but it is always there. In other words just because you are a good owner does not make the dog safe around other people or other animals. That instinct is always there and there still can be a trigger that unleashes it.
The people who need to know and understand this the most are the owners of Pitt Bulls but they seem to be the first to deny that their dogs could or would ever harm anyone, until they do. Then all we hear is how sweet and nice the dog has always been. Until it wasn't and another person is ripped up or another child killed. I'm a professional trainer and handler. Not all pitt bulls are bad but every one of them has within it the instinct to fight and bite.
Every time I see a Pitt Bull leading/pulling/dragging the owner/handler down the street I want to pull my truck over and ask the owner if the dog is so dumb that it can not be trained to heel and act properly on a leash. Or maybe it the owners who are so dumb that they do not feel like the dog needs to be trained or controlled. I have trained a few pits and after some work they all learned leash manners. The vote is still out on the owners.

It’s the ones raised by cats that give the others a bad name.
Damn cats.
