It's not just thug gang members and dog fighting people. A HUGE part of the problem is all of the apologists telling everyone how much of a sweet dog they are and how misunderstood they are.
Yes, they can be super sweet. But they are a bully breed. Bully breeds require an experienced dog owner who knows what that means, not just someone who has owned a lot of dogs before.
The mantra "There is no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners" is pretty damn misleading. There are a shitload of bad dog owners that think they are good dog owners. When they own pitbulls, it's like playing Russian Roulette. They may never have a problem. But if they do, it's going to be bloody.
And there are, in fact, some bad dogs. People need to get real about that shit. But instead, they get all pissed off at the people who have legitimate concerns about dangerous practices.
