Pitbulls are not, by nature, the aggressive, man-eaters that you seem to want to make them appear to be.

I've been a dog park regular for more than 10 years. I have seen more than my share of pitbulls. Many are sweet, friendly dogs. Many others are sweet friendly dogs until suddenly they aren't. Playing suddenly turns into a vicious attack where killing is the objective. Way more than any other breed.
I used to be in the camp of "it's not the dog, it's the owner." And while sometimes that is the case, it's kinda the dog. I would never own one. And all the "rescue all the pitbulls" bullshit TV shows are giving unprepared and unqualified dog owners a very wrong impression that they should own one.
I am absolutely the biggest dog lover I know, and I am sick to death of the local humane society handing out badly bred pitbulls to unqualified owners like Oprah handing out cars. It's incredibly irresponsible.
**** pitbulls. They are like Russian Roulette. Sure, you might get lucky, but why the hell are you playing? Get a better breed of dog.
