Pit bull....

If you decide to get a pit bull, be prepared for a fair amount of people questioning your (lack of good) judgement. The fact is, for whatever reason, pits can, and will, for no explainable reason, turn into a vicious killing machine. They can be provoked by something completely innocent. You think the vast amount of stories, confirmed cases of horrible mutilations, killings, etc, are not significant? With no intended offense to anyone who owns one, I have to say, with all the many many good dog breeds out there, why would anyone even consider owning a pit bull?
