I find it amusing that you are calling me a fool after:

a. Making a sweeping generalization about several breeds that can't possibly be true.

b. Carping about 'historically or technically.' I don't give a rat's @ss about 'historically or technically.' I'm talking about reality.

When I was a kid we had an Irish Wolfhound who hated cats. She could run faster than most cats or kids, and could quite possibly have found herself in the scenario you describe, HAD WE BEEN IRRESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO LET IT HAPPEN. Should she have been shot as well?

Misguided breed prejudice (against any breed) is why millions of companion animals die needlessly each year.

There are tens of thousands of 'pit bulls' in the US. 9 have gone bad. You know of bad experiences with 2. Isn't it just a LITTLE illogical to 'hate them with a passion' and call me and others fools?

Thanks for sticking up for some of those 'hated' breeds out there. I am glad to say I have owned and loved 4 of these animals. While I do not share the depth of knowledge you have about them, I do know that they seem to get a bad rap from the media, and thusly from the public as a whole.

This is one of those topics I usually do not even go near for all of the knee jerks that are all out there.

If anyone would extend their logic out some, if 25% of all crimes were committed by several minority groups, I guess then by their own logic, we should get rid of all of them too.

For the record...
Bites by my 'Pit-bull' Lady: 1 (She won't take teen punks hitting her with a stick.)
Bites by my chihuaua Tiny: 6 (a mean tempered ankle snapper)

Now that I have been reminded why I rarely even browe these threads, I will be going now...
