I am inclined to agree. I think they are wild animals, and should be euthanized. There are a million videos of adorable lions, tigers, bears, chimps, gorillas, etc., snuggling and hugging people. So what? They are wild animals, not pets.
IIRC, Pit Bulls were bred to fight bears in pits, hence the name.
Not to fight bulls in pits. The American Pit Bull Terrier is descended from the Pit Bull Terrier (one of many breeds resulting from crossing terriers with bulldogs), which was bred for bear baiting (no pit involved), bull baiting, and dog fighting (multiple dogs in a pit; last one standing wins).
