I do believe that pits are getting a bad rap - i know SEVERAL pit owners and the dogs are loving and loyal - it's all about the OWNERS - if an animal is not taken care of properly or trained or loved - they will become violent, just like people.

However, sometimes, just like with people, any animal can be born with a bad temperament - sometimes they can be rehabilitated and sometimes not - at least with people, with have prisons for that.
