The massive population reset that has been going on for the past 50 years in America is to blame for this. Prior to that, no one ever heard of “pit bulls”. They are a cultural perversion for males of a certain level of intelligence who hail from south of the previously-existing border.

I agree. I don’t trust them, based on experience. It’s too bad because there are some nice civil pits. But when I see a pit, I start thinking of defensive strategies. Being chewed to death is not a good way to go.

It's the people who ruin the dog breeds. It happens to every breed that becomes too popular. I bought my first Cane Corso mastiff in 1995. They were very rear, especially in the US. The dog was the best dog I ever owned by far and I've owned many different breeds. I was looking to buy another one a few years ago. I was disgusted by what I saw. Irresponsible breeders galore. These are big, powerful and loyal dogs. You don't have to breed them to be mean and aggressive. It goes against their nature. People are breeding dangerous dogs and selling them to people who don't know how to handle that type of dog.

American Stratfordshire terrier. A typical terrier that requires close training. As with most terriers it is a loyal loving companion

Nice early European native-born brother has two pitbulls. We don’t talk to each other much at all but years ago and before he got the dogs, when I was talking about all the pit bull attacks that I have read on the internet and how they aren’t to be trusted with kids especially, he acted like I was the crazy one.
