Pit Bulls and bully breed dogs are not useless, in fact I have friends that take their dogs to nursing homes and hospitals. These dogs are very intelligent and affectionate if raised properly. They can become therapy dogs and be good canine citizens. The problem with this story is that we only know what the media wants us to know. I have had pit bulls and rottweilers in my home and being a responsible pet owner, I know that if a dog is aggressive, the right thing to do is to humanely euthinize it. You can more than bet these pit bulls have shown aggressive behaviors in the past but rather than be responsible at that time, the owners decided to allow the dogs to become a danger to society. It is THEIR fault, not the dogs.
Also, ANY dog can become aggressive. It is up to the owner to be responsible. There are many breeds of dogs that are far more likely to bite than a pit bull.
To: educateyourself
Far more likely to bite? Maybe. Far more likely to kill a six year old girl? No way.
