here is a conversation I find quite interesting as it gives both sides of Pit Bull owners.. So if Pit Bull owners can't agree on the dogs behavior and breeding, why should you expect anyone else to agree with you:
I was informed of a Pit Bull forum that has some definitive problems.
I joined this forum to see for myself.
What I have found, in my opinion, is sickening.
Below I will list some of the comments that have been made to others on thread titled:
"Would you report illegal dogfighting?" - I think you should know that even though the poll says the results are "yes" the people who actually spoke their mind on the board, well most of them have said "no"
So my point is REALCHEF,
Even people who own PitBulls, Bull Breeds, etc. don't agree with you.. Of course these are people who would like to see their dogs fight, but at least they have a realistic expectation of how to handle the breed. And if they own the dogs, breed the dogs, sell the dogs, don't for just a second you think, it would be a good idea to listen to what THEY have to say about the breed AND NATURE vs. NURTURE...
Again, from their lips, to your ears !

Are you kidding me?
A. This "forum" you joined, is admittedly and obvious to everyone except yourself, focused on dog fighting. Which pretty much negates all of your comments as nonsense. That's like talking to the 'mafia' about loan sharking.
B. Let me speak just from my knowledge and FIRST HAND experience and not what others tell me. I live daily in a city flushed with APBT. The fringes of our community are full of "fight Dogs". There has not been an APBT attack against a human for my entire experience here, 6 years.
C. I visit them at my friends' houses, at my house and daily off leash at the park and the ONLY first hand dog aggression I have seen MANY TIMES has always been from NON APBT. Each time, when speaking to the owner, it is very clear that this person is ignorant of proper raising and training. I have seen the three dogs killed by non APBT. It is the owners fault not the dogs, in those cases as well as the previous cited cases of the APBT. (see my last point)
D. I cannot think of one major Professional Canine Show or competiton that has banned the APBT and these are the people who know. These breeds outperform most breeds in MANY fields. They hold more Power Pulling national championships than any other breed and an equal many Agility championships as the other breeds.
You are falling prey to sensationalist reporting feeding off some unfortunate families tragedy. Quite simply, more people are killed in Canada every year by moose than Grizzlies, but all you hear about are the Grizzlies.
E. The originators of the breed are well documanted as having ZERO tolerance for human aggression when the breed was created. Any human agg. was immediately culled. (as well as dog agg.) The sport, by the way, was where 2-3 dogs were put into a pit to fight a bull. They were good performers because of their reluctance to let go of the neck once they were able to bite it. (which would lead to bleeding or suffocation)
F. They are no more likely to attack a human as a Labrador. BTW: My Rottwieller once jumped through a screen door to prevent a Great Dane from killing me. Note: I have been attacked by a Chihuahua and a Great Dane, but I own a pit bull cross and live with APBTs every day. Are you getting the point yet. Yes, they are a strong breed, that does not make them killers.
G.
My point, which you are apparently oblivious to as well, is:
Your Stereotypical and bigoted statements are no different than the stereotypes of the Irish being drunks, Mexican people are lazy etc... If you cannot see that, then I feel sorry for you and those around you.
