There are sweet pit bulls and there are highly aggressive pit bulls. Even though a trait of all terrier breeds is high agility and prey aggression,The problem lies with people. It would also help if the animal shelter would stop refusing to take in animals under the guise of 'being full'. Our shelter has always been full. The only difference is that in the past, they were not afraid to euthanize to make space. Now that they refuse to address the problem and want animals left on the street. That is the exact reason why the frequency of dog bites is insanely high. Until the citizens demand the shelter take in animals, this problem will continue.

Such a tragedy for all. My wish, may you soon find Peace when hear this loved ones name and Laughter within the stories you will share. My hope, finding the people accountable to contributing to this and hold them to the fullest extent of the law. I am not taking stance on Ban or Not Ban because a Pack Mentality changes all the dynamics(for any mammal). The term “pit bull” usually doesn’t refer to a single dog breed. Pit bull is generally used as a broad description for a type of dog. Many dog breeds may be classified as pit bulls, including: American Staffordshire Terriers, American Bull Terriers, American Pit Bull Terriers, American Bulldogs. So when you hear "Pit Bull" and pit bull bans, pit bull bite statistics, and pit bull abandonment rates, they all refer to a much larger group of dogs than you’d imagine. Grouping so many dogs together under one label can skew statistics and lead to harmful stereotypes and consequences on all, which is a Real Thing. Daily "Life" has all of us interacting with mammals that can (and do) kill instantly. I acknowledge and respect that daily. I am talking about the mammals that drive the car beside me with their nose in the phone, the mammals that I saddle up and ride as a hobby, the mammals that drive by me as I walk through a grocery store parking lot, the mammals that wait behind you in line anywhere, etc. Hold Those Accountable for their wrong doing/actions(or lack of) and I truly believe we would see a change.

But seriously, these dogs are very strong and probably shouldn't be owned by irresponsible people. I've known many people with pit bulls, though. Nice people who had pits I never had issues with. But it's sad to see people who treat them badly and only own them because it's the cool and tough thing, now. @Mike… hey, don’t mess with my Boston Terrier, she’ll leave a mark!

Rottweilers are the second dangerous breed; they are responsible for 10.4% of fatal dog attacks. You can blame the owners for these attacks, but the numbers show very clearly that pit bulls ARE dangerous. Have you ever heard of Jack Russels or Boston Terriers killing people?
