There are several breads that have similar features to a pit bull and people often don't know the difference. If you take some jack ass kid that owns a pit because he saw it on a rap video and swap out the pit for another dog, do you think he's going to raise it any differently? If you saw a Rhodesian Ridgeback you'd probably think it was a sweet looking dog. Rhodesian ridgebacks were bread to hunt lions way back when and can very easily be a vicious dog in the wrong hands.

Your SOOOO wrong.
My wife IS the main rep for 2 states for one of the largest dog rescues in the country. I think she would know just a little bit about pits and other dogs. Not including the fact that HER pit bull which was also loyal and loving killed her black lab, and tried to attack an 11 year old boy. That dog was put down. An of course the direct (by a pit) attack that I have already shared in the last post on her a little girl that her coon hound had to save them.
Here are some of the local reports from just my area...

At least five people were attacked by a pit bull in Over-the-Rhine Tuesday night.
The pit bull attack happened around 8 p.m. near 14th and Pleasant streets.
One of the five victims was taken to University Hospital with severe dog bite injuries to her leg.
No one is quite sure why the pit bull -- who witnesses say often roams the neighborhood -- snapped and attacked five people, including children.
A 12-year-old girl suffered a bite to her leg and a 10-year-old boy was bit on his finger.

More but different story
Oct. 5, 2005 ? Authorities are looking for the owner of a pit bull that allegedly rampaged through a Cincinnati neighborhood, biting at least five people and absorbing several shots from a police Taser before being captured.
Police are investigating a witness's account that someone, perhaps the owner, may have "sicced" the pit bull on a female victim, Toni Leonard, who was treated for leg injuries at a local hospital. What's more, police believe Leonard was bitten by the same dog just days before, reported ABC News affiliate WCPO-TV in Cincinnati.
If the attack, which occurred around 8 p.m. Tuesday in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, was intentional, the dog's owner could be charged with felonious assault or harboring a vicious animal.

I could go on and on, Just with the SPCA There are 25 REPORTED cases in 2005 in Cincinnati alone. This does not even include the surounding areas. The pit is a dog breed that has been ruined by years of backyard breading. There are NO good pits just pits that have not attacked someone or something YET. Simple as that. Get your head out of your ass and look at the facts.
Threads like this do nothing but piss me off.
The ONLY thing that could be done at this point to redeem the breed is if every pit out there was killed, but for the very best animals, and responsible breeders took full control and breed them back to the dog they once where. This is not going to happen. You my friend will change your mind once you EXPERIANCE the truth about these animals and untill then talking to you about it is about as fruitfull as farting into a fan.
