That is just plain ignorance. Okay, so once all the Pit Bulls are gone, all those people who have "plenty of other breeds" to choose from, let's see what breed we can ruin next? If there was no Pits in the world anymore, the world would NOT be a better place, because people would simply choose another breed to destroy and ruin. So now let's destroy all the Rotties and the Shepherds and everything else, until we can get down to ... hmmmm ... maybe dogs without any teeth? How about a stuffed animal, and all dogs be abolished? Because all animals can attack, unprovoked or provoked, and usually people are idiots and say "oh my dog was always happy and friendly" but 99% of people have NO idea how to read a dogs body language.
So yes people are responsible. It's ignorant to think otherwise. It's not even about pits, or whatever, in specific. I am not a fan of Pits, as in they wouldn't be a breed I would seek out, nor would I own with a small dog (personally). Their potential to be dog aggressive is as high as a Yorkies potential to want to kill a mouse. It's a risk you take. Some Yorkies could probably care less about going underground and hunting a rabbit, but others would kill for it. DA in Pits is something that responsible people understand is a possibility. Responsible Pit owners, for example, do not bring their dog into a dog park. Because no matter whose fault it is, the Pit will get blamed.
So okay yeah let's hate one breed of dog, just so that humans can destroy another. And another after that. And another. Until one day your realize it affects you, and how you feel is your dog, your baby, your family member was declared dangerous simply for being a terrier, or by the way it looks, and destroyed and taken away from you because of other PEOPLES stupid mistakes.
Statistically, BSL does not work anyway. So no matter how you feel about the breed, hating them or banning them does absolutely nothing.
