So, let's look at some facts around the matter, shall we?
First of all, what is a Pit Bull? It isn't actually a breed (
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...00b_story.html)...
But experts say most dogs commonly referred to as a pit bull are either a mix of other breeds or are pure-bred of a breed often misidentified as a pit bull.
So, that kind of throws out the whole selective breeding as the issue.
How about upbringing? Well, we can look at the scary statistics for those that are "identified" as pit bulls. We find that 82% of deaths caused by dogs are due to "pit bulls". OMG! Panic!
But, wait, there were 34 deaths in 2015, 28 of which were identified as being done by Pit Bulls. But, according to the loose definition of pit bulls, there are about 5 million of them in the US today.
That means that 0.00056% of "pit bulls" caused a death last year. How is 0.00056% a problem with the breed or the upbringing of the animals? Obviously, it isn't a problem. Heck, you literally have much, much better odds of dying in a car crash.
This is nothing more than fear-mongering BS. The same fear-mongering BS that was put out about Doberman Pinschers in the 70s, and German Shepherds in the 80s, and Rottweilers in the 90s.
