I have pit bulls myself.. 3 in fact

but they are NOT aggressive nor do they growl at people, kids, or other animals.. In fact My 100lb male is let in the front yard OFF A LEASH and NEVER even bothers with people walking Chi's and Wiener dogs and all other sorts of pups .. he just minds his own in the yard.. So with that being said.. the owners OBVIOUSLY LACK TRAINING SKILLS and need to do something about their dogs. Maybe need them kenneled so they do not get out!
I have a Yorkie myself and I WOULD DIE of Worry if someone told me that he may get mauled if he ever got out of my yard! I would NOT live like that, and would in fact speak with the owners of the pittys first and then resort to ANIMAL CONTROL if need be.
I am sorry that these people are making a worse rap for pit bulls as they are great animals when properly trained!
