Is this really a case where it's hard to make the distinction?
The distinction is this:
There are fools on this thread claiming pitts are evil and contain an irresistable instinct to maul and maim. This is idiocy. A dog is a dog is a dog. There are good and bad in every breed.
Yes, the larger dogs with powerful jaws and big teeth need to be culled more often for the “rogues” as you put it. But so what? We don’t outlaw the whole breed because of this. We just get tougher on the owners of dogs that do the damage. Forget about naming one breed or another. Just call them all “dogs”. Then let the chips fall. If 50 percent of all pitts need to be destroyed and their owners jailed, then so be it. I have a feeling it will be more like 5 or 10 percent though. The media blows everything out of proportion.
