Jeanie, that was very well said.
Another point is that Pit Bulls ARE terriers. Just as you mentioned about small terriers hunting and killing rodents today, the Pitties are the same. Only they, unfortunately, go after larger prey, like a child, cats, small dogs, etc.
Even small terriers are prone to attacking others their own size, only we as guardians are able to QUICKLY separate before any real damage happens. Its much, much harder to do so with large breeds.
