No more aggressive or dangerous than any other breed.

Humans are injured by dogs often enough, but the press really likes to stress when it's a Pitbull attack. And people love to jump on the sensationalist bandwagon when they do.

Any breed can be aggressive, and breed can be well trained and well socialized, too. Pitbulls are perfectly able to sleep alongside people, be lap dogs, etc... mine are.

It just so happens that in this particular case, something went horribly wrong. There are millions of pitbulls in this country. Very few of them maul people.


Pit bulls ARE safe, and I'm hardly stupid for saying so. I've raised them for years, so I am actually SMART enough to know that.

What is stupid is discriminating against the breed for a few isolated incidents, most of which were caused by human abuse/maltreatement of the dogs.
