This is question is targeted towards Pit Bulls. Now, before you say anything, I love the Pit Bull types of dogs. APBT, Staffy's, and Ambulls. I think they are the most loyal out of any dog out there.
I don't own a Pit Bull. I used to as a child, and it never attacked or turned on me. He was a great dog that died of old age. I am now older and have other responsibilities so I cannot take on the task of raising ANY dog. I know this so that's why I choose not to get one.
The problem I have, is the people trying to "educate" the general public on the breed. Saying they are "misunderstood". I know you love this type of dog. I know that these dogs are loyal. I also know that these dogs are very powerful. I know these dogs can look scary to the general public. I know that the media loves Pit Bull attack stories and we want that to stop. But guess what causes Pit Bull attacks? The OWNERS of Pit Bulls that choose not to properly train these dogs, or keep them caged for long periods of time with little to no exercise or socialization.
Don't you think, before trying to educate the general public, you should educate irresponsible Pit Bull owners to get your point across? They're the ones giving this type of dog a bad name. Less attacks means less people that are afraid.
