If you could somehow do away with Pitties, another breed would just take their place. There are many breeds with the capacity for major harm. The thugs and wannabes (which are the ones behind most of these dogs that attack) would just move on to another breed.

It's a people problem more than a dog problem.

wonderful post well said
