For those of you who would actually like to learn a little bit about pitbulls before just saying "kill them all". Here are some great resources. I am sure 90% of you won't look or learn, but at least I am providing factual documentation to back up my statements.
The American Temperament Test Society ranks dogs at a pass/fail rate after they go through a course that the Society sets up. A good, unbiased resource reflecting the stability of the breed when compared to some others.
American Pit Bull Terrier: 84.1%
American Staffordshire Terrier: 83.9%
Staffordshire Bull Terrier: 85.2%
Golden Retriever: 83.8%
Dalmation: 81.9%
Chow Chow: 69.7%
Chihuahua: 71.4%
Collie: 79.2%
Labrador Retriever: 91.5%
...any large dog can hurt someone. Remember the French woman who made the news by having the first facial transplat of it's kind? Thank her lab mix.
