Another in a long list of clueless pitbull owners.
I'm still waiting on someone to provide a good reason why anyone, other than a dog fighter, would need to own a pitbull?

Pit bulls' attack of puppy and owners lead to lawsuit A six-month-old retriever and her owners were attacked by two pit bulls in a subdivision of McHenry. The owners are now filing a lawsuit against the pit bulls' owners to have the dogs removed from the neighborhood. (Stacey Wescott, Chicago Tribune)

We have been trough this argument a thousand times ad nauseam. These dogs, Rottweiler's also, are extremely powerful dogs and owners need to take extra precautions so things don't get out of hand. With that said, all of the pits I know are very loving dogs, but as with any other dog, they can and do sometimes turn. Their attack is vicious and often deadly, only because they are so powerful. You generally would not see the same type of damage done buy a smaller less powerful dogs.
Should they be outlawed? I don't believe so, but I do believe the owners should have some training as to how to handle these special dogs.
Some dogs have been bred with certain instincts. With good training and a watchful eye they can become great pets. Too many people buy these big dogs bred especially for guarding or aggressiveness to look tough, or for status, then mistreat or ignore them. They don't understand what it takes in order to make sure dogs fit in normally...let alone dogs with more forceful instincts to protect, or for prey.
I am an unabashed advocate of destroying the Pit Bull breed. They serve no good purpose, and have proven time and time again that they are a menace to society.
