Its all bad press huh, why do Police in many cities have a "shoot on site" rule for Pitbulls? Why is it illegal to own them in many places? When you search for "dog kills" you get stories mostly about Rotties, PitBulls, ETC?
Look, you can like or even love your dog but there is one FACT you cannot ignore or dismiss...

These are just SOME of the places that are prepossing or have already deemed owning a PitBull, Rotty, Dobbie is an illegal offence.
To much info proving they are dangerous to come back with...
"your ignorance makes me chuckle."
and...
"there are bad pits just as there are other bad breeds"
Like Rotties and Dobbies, all are banned in more than one city, county, or state in a couple counties. All are dangerous breeds bread for warfare and killing.
Look up PitBulls and read, the ONLY people that speak positivly about them are breeders and rescue operations that don't believe in putting any dog down.
