I admit I do fear pits, as well as any unleashed large dog. I have seen tooo many dog fights (unintentionally), been "pinned" in our house by a pit that was standing guard at our door (we called the cops and the dog actually lunged at the car as it drove by), been chased by a pitbull and was so terrified to own any dog as a result. My apartment is supposed to be free of the most commonly known aggressive dogs, including pit bulls. and you know what? in my building there is a pit bull living, but the dog is good, always contained, etc. and I can't find it in my heart to have that dog taken out of it's home. It just realllly depends on the owner & training. I don't like to discriminate against any one breed just as I wouldn't any one race. But there are scary facts & situations, as well narrow-minded people that want to classify one bad incident with an entire breed of dogs. The "owners" need to be punished. Some places in the U.S. if your kid does something wrong, with the ability to know better, the parents are punished. why in the heck wouldn't the owner of an innocent, neglected dog be punished too?
