Once again, they target the dog, not the owner or neglegience (sp?). I have owned Pit Bulls and in the wrong hands (inexperienced dog owners/trainers) they are hard to break. They're stubborn. Also, not socializing them causes bad things to happen. Do you know that there are dogs more likely to bite than a pit? Too bad their bite doesn't do as much damage otherwise they'd be after Chihuahuas. If you aren't a responsible DOG (not just pit) owner then you shouldn't have one in the first place. I think most of the problem with the dogs is not their 'temperament' that everyone says 'hate is bred into them' well... no, hate is taught. Maybe that will teach her to neuter her dog.
I never had a problem with my Diamond. She even would play with the kids... I guess the one bad apple spoils a bunch.
