Yes - Pit bulls were bred for fighting and killing. In my opinion, the breed needs to become extinct. Their largest number of fatal victims are children - and that really angers me.
I had one charge me a while back while I was out running one morning. I took on a fighting stance and he veered off that the last second. It was enough to make my heart pound for a while.
Now I carry Pepper Spray in my left hand, with a CRKT spring loaded knife, and a lightweight .357 S&W Mountain Lite in my belly band under a T-shirt when I run.
With two little children at home, if I even see that dog on my street again I will shoot him dead.

Just exactly what my vet said, except he added that most of the type of people who own these dogs have similiar aggressive and anti-social personalities as their pit bulls do.
