The dogs have been here since the Late 1880's right at 100 yrs and no problems until recent. Does that kinda show its the way the people have become and how life has changed in our world? I would say these dogs are as much of our History as Apple Pie. The dog for its self is of great pride of being "American" To stand and fight or protect till death. I Love my dogs just as much as i love my family and if one of my family hurt another person i would expect them to be hurt just the same. In the day of dog fighting they would kill any dog and its offspring that was people aggressive and breed more selective to remove that trait. We are now at a time where dog fighting is illegal since "1976" and still the numbers of people who owned these dogs were of the type that breed for fighting and selective breeding for that type. Some people of today have these dogs for what they did in the past and stood for but they have not the knowledge or the care for the dog. Just the idea of something mean and tough that they may think is what they are. The dogs have been here since the Late 1880's right at 100 yrs and no problems until recent. Does that kinda show its the way the people have become and how life has changed? I could see a Ban of any dog that hurt people without cause but these same people who have breed a bad dog would also breed a different dog to do the samething. I truley belive its the type of people who breed these dogs for there type of life. I do apologize for seeming wild in my words but its late since reading all the posts since my last comment

Well in my now 40yrs around American PitBull Terriers and my 9yrs as a American PitBull and American Staffordshire Rescue Ive only been bitten by 1 dog and it happened to be a German Shepard. In the last 9yrs ive had 254 dogs and out of that, 9 of them had to be Euthanized, 1 for people aggression "owner use to beat and mace dog" 4 for animal "Livestock"aggression "attacking goats" and other 4 to make room for new Rescues. Now that does sound wrong but i do belive i would rather have some Euthanized than to goto bad owners and give others chances. If i had the option to choose my Death my vet would do it, He uses Anesthesia to make the dog sleep then he gives the euthanasia solution that stops all functions. Now all that said i have recived dogs from owners who are moving and cant take there pet with them "but the will take there children" Animal Control who picks up Loose dogs. The Court who removes pets from owners. Breeders who thought they were going to make money on selling them. on all situations i evaluate the dog to see if they can be worked with and adopted out, In some situations i will not take them. In the month of November in a town there were 5 dog attacks 4 attacks were of other breeds "non PitBulls" they made the local news for 1 day. 1 attack involved a pitbull and it ran for 1 week and in 232 newspapers in the US and was on CNN. Does this show that its the Media "fire" for PitBulls since it makes News. The majority of PitBull attacks are from mixed bred PitBulls. it doesnt matter what the PitBull is bred with it is always a Pit Mix. Lets actually look at how long the American PitBull has been around???? over the last 10-17 yrs you hear about them all the time and in most cases its the worthless people who own them. Sooooo the dogs have been here since the Late 1890's right at 100 yrs and no problems until recent. Does that kinda show its the way the people have become and how life has changed? Can we not also say that about colors of people?? Ok Humans are Human and pets are just animals!!! Guess what most all animals still have more brains then there Human partner. I would much rather see those certain Humans who own these American Pit Bulls be Euthanized and also most of there gene pool. For there disrespect of the dog and for the Macho image they think they need to prove by making these dogs people aggressive
