Anyone who defends this breed, including breeding and or raising it, knowing how dangerous it it, has major issues. Anyone who condems it has something the owners/breeders don't have: common sense.
In my neighborhood there is a pit who runs loose a few times a month. It is named Lily. The owner doesn't understand why we won't try to catch her and return her. She claims Lily is sweet and wouldn't hurt a fly. I feel bad for the dog. By the time animal control comes out Lily is back home and there has never been a complaint issued as they never see her loose. One day Lily will either be hurt or hurt someone and the owner hasn't a clue. Its a shame. When Lily is out we all run inside. Why this lady can't keep her dog from getting loose is beyond me. She shouldn't have the dog.
