I'll be hated for my view but haters are gonna hate.

To me Pitbulls and their type are like owning a Lion. We've seen videos of owners of Lions that cuddle, kiss and are so gentle with their owners. A lot of people will say, ohh one day that Lion could kill that owner, if they aren't careful and they'd be right. Their owners would say, we have to know our Lion and be careful but he/she wouldn't kill us. That's their choice to have a lion, they shouldn't ever expose anyone else to their lion and put others in danger.
That's how I see Pit-bulls, most are probably great dogs...but if one decides for whatever reason (even if it's not it's fault, bad training etc..) it's going to kill you, then it's very likely you are going to be badly hurt if not killed.
If a Yorkie decides it's going to kill you.........

Personally I don't think anyone should have an animal in their home they can't control, if it's decides to attack. A lot of large dogs, can be controlled, their mouths can be pried open. A pitbull and some similar types have a jaw that once it locks, you can't remove it, till it lets you.
There is a big difference between a german shepherd (and similar big dogs) attack and a pit bull. Both can be softies, loveable, well trained. I'd rather be attacked by a german shepherd than a pit bull. The power of a pit bull is too great. Their breeding needs to be controlled and owners need to be licensed, the way a lion owner would be.
I get tired of hearing how someone has or knows of someone who has one and it's wonderful and a softy. They problem is when the breed is owned by a twit. The world is full of twits.
