In most towns, it’s against the law to let a dog run free. That’s the issue - not the breed. When I was 3 years old, I got bit badly by an unleashed German Shepherd The dog was put down. That said, at a driving range the other day, a woman was walking a young pit bull. Looked like a nice dog. Asked if I could say hello to the dog. I got more kisses from that dog than I’ve had in the last five years.
No, the breed is very much the issue. Other, less dangerous breeds can be used to guard meth labs, moonshine stills, and crack houses. And that really is the only legitimate use for this breed.
Wholeheartedly disagree. The breed is dangerous.
Your implying it is the owner and not the breed that makes a difference and I agree with that. However, the breed, when it does bite does a lot more damage than most other breeds and that is the problem. My guess guess is that most of the problems with pit bulls arise from the fact that they are a preferred breed of the feral-human breed that the government has been paying to breed since the 1960’s.
