You are most likely just trying to stir stuff up just to get a reaction but in the event that you genuinely feel this way I encourage you to do a little more research regarding this topic, as the media has created a negative image of pitbulls with irresponsible reporting. I did extensive research on this topic during my undergraduate years and I can tell you that statically speaking there is a good chance that more than 50% of these reports have inaccurately identified the breed of the dog as the name "pitbull" is tossed around because it draws attention. Because of this negative attention "pitbulls" are often desired by people that are not suitable pet owners. I also noticed that you did not provide the source of your findings which also affects the reliability of your post. I would recommend you do some proper research at your local library before you generalize an entire "breed" of dogs even though the term pitbull is not actually a specific breed of dog, I'm sure that is the way you meant it. Are pitbull capable of being dangerous? Absolutely but so is any other large dog if put in a hostile environment. Are pitbulls bred to be vicious towards humans? No, unlike Rottweilers, German Shepherds and Dobermans pitbulls are not bred to be watch dogs and based on any temperament test you wish to use, are not likely to bite a human. I have had at least one pit bull my entire life and have never had an issue with them being vicious towards humans or other dogs. I don't blame you for your post though, I blame the media for telling you how to think.

Here you go buddy. Cut the number in half like your arbitrary sourceless claim and they are still the most dangerous, most over represented breed.
Bold #2
And I love pit bulls. But when you lifers that cannot be objective come in here acting like they are not something, when they are, it is pretty comical. Your research was clearly wasted, and only provided you with misinformation to sling **** around.
