You are incorrect.
The original Staff was created *long* before WWI as a drover dog, capable of catching and holding potentially dangerous bulls to save the drover’s life, if need be.
They were also used as “catch dogs” for swine.
The sexually repressed and infinitely twisted Victorians then used them for ‘blood sports’ such as bull baiting.
They also used many varieties of terriers for mass ‘rat pit fighting’ wagers.
The sickos would bet on anything bloody and cruel.
As far as WWI goes,
“They make excellent companions for humans. The government employed pitbulls for WWI and WWII, Sgt. Stubby was 26th in the Yankee division in France. He helped apprehend a German spy and was credited with saving lives of several soldiers in 1917. Pitbulls were extremely valuable on the battle field, carrying messages back and forth.”
Please get your facts straight.

Et tu, Brute’?”
What are you talking about, the dog is innocent? The dog killed an elderly man. And what is this animals-before-people PETA crap?
I’m not a nanny-stater but the days of people shooting someone’s dog for harmful infraction are gone.
These dogs have been bred for attack for centuries. In my town every socially insecure loser with an IQ below 100 has one because they’re incapable of articulating and defending themselves using their language and mental skills.
Please, show us the news stories of Pit Bulls saving lives as opposed to mounting evidence against all the MORON owners who are incapable and unwilling to control these attack dogs? Must we license owners on proper training, care and handling of these dogs? Is the dog’s behavior that inherently dangerous?
Automobiles and guns don’t kill people on their own yet both are regulated. But a potentially deadly animal is loose in a neighborhood and there are no restriction?
Lemme guess, you’re a pit owner, never use a leash and walk it on other peoples’ lawns, around their kids, etc because ~he’s-never-done-anything-to-you~ ?
Yeah, maybe it is the owners but it’s a lot simpler to regulate their access to dangerous equipment than to elevate their consideration and responsibility in society.
