Many of these pit bulls and rotties may seem to be sweeties; however, no one knows when or why they may snap and become vicious. Here in our small town, a neighbor's dog attacked a little girl next door that he knew and had allowed to pet him--did a lot of damage, but she lived. She was just out in her own yard playing and the dog raced over and jumped her---Why? Nobody knows.
It was a Rottweiler.

Bengal tigers perform on stage and act very docile. However, if they get provoked or flustered they can slaughter 50 people before authorities have time to react. That is why they are not allowed to be domesticated. Pit bulls and Rotts do not belong in public.
If people want to own them they should be charged with manslaughter and sentenced to 25 years in prison if their animal attacks and kills humans. Less time if the human is only injured -- maybe only 15 years!
