Have YOU ever had to give up a dog because of popular OPINION? Because I have, and it sucks. And when people use them as an example, it hits a nerve when you've been forced to put down an innocent family member, not because of guilt, but because of perception. These posts, using pits as "comparison" put a breed I love and advocate at risk, even if some don't think so.

Well the person who started the the thread works with a pit rescue and fosters them. I think she was just using it as a comparison for like size and that was just the first larger breed that came to mind.
