I understand having an animal and thinking its not the same because its yours and you get to see its personality. If I were to ever see a pitbull or rott my property I would probably kill it before it had the chance to harm me or my family. Yes, the % of it actually hurting us is low but im not going to risk it. more than 50% of dog fatalities over the past 6 years have been pit bull or rottweiler.
