Any animal can attack from the smallest to largest. Pitbulls are not the only ones that attack and honestly the reason they get such a bum rap (more than the other dogs that attack) is because of the damage that they can unknowingly inflict. I have had pitbulls all my life. Currently we are overrun with yorkies but that is because I wanted to go smaller. My dad owns four pitbulls one is 95 lbs, one is 120 lbs and the new puppy who is six months old currently weighs about 55 lbs and then there is oreo that is only a mere 7 lbs. None of them have caused any harm matter of fact Oreo is the aggressive one there and runs the roost and he came after the big guys. They will only become aggressive if you are getting out of hand with my parents. They are very protective but will not hurt anyone unless they are doing harm to the family. My children have grown up with my dad's dogs and as babies they bit, pulled and rode the dogs and they never batted an eyelash at the kids.
I honestly dont' think that anyone should condemn the breed. To know them is to love them just like any other dog. It all comes down to the temperment of the animal.
