I'd also like to point out that there are A LOT of breeds that look strikingly like pit bulls, but aren't actually pit bulls. I know the breed kind of well, and I took a quiz a while back. It showed pictures and it was like "Is this a pit bull - Yes or No?" and I was SHOCKED at how many I thought were pit bulls that weren't. There are a LOT of people who see big dogs that look somewhat like pits, so they go off saying that a "pit did ____" and it may not have been a pit in the first place.

PS - I've seen nasty pits too. When I was younger I was walking my old lab - Rusty - and a pit bull (and I'm positive that it was a pit bull) attacked him on the owners' command. So I've seen the good and bad side of pit bulls. I've met a lot more sweet pit bulls than I have nasty ones. In fact, I've only met 1 nasty one - the one that went after Rusty. and that was ENTIRELY his owner's fault.
