They look for victims, stalk them, jump fences to get to them, chase them down, and kill. And it doesn't seem to have a lot to to with "how they were raised" since most of the owners say the dog had always been very sweet and gentle up to that point, the moment before they killed. I think the breed should be banned and I don't apologize for that opinion. I think human killers should be executed and the world made safer from animals and people that kill. I have small pets and granddaughters and God bless any animal or human that would dare to attack any of them. I'd get my trusty little .22 and shoot them, yes I would, and no apologies for protecting my loved ones. I'm a sweet little old lady, but don't threaten me or mine with bodily harm!

My thoughts exactly! In the neighborhood that I live in, Pitbulls are banned, thank gosh! I still see people walking them all the time&that really makes me angry because they're such aggressive dogs. I don't think that ANYONE should be allowed to have a Pitbull. It's in their nature to kill&even if they're "trained properly" they still have that innate feeling to kill. No matter how hard you try no one can take that innateness away from them.
