Pit Bulls have a hair trigger in them and it should be obvious by now.

Hair trigger indeed. Pit Bulls are terriers and all terriers have a super prey drive. Around the age of two it becomes obvious as to how the prey drive will deploy in each dog. Very strong owners can have influence over this process but never complete control. Pits are not a dog to be trusted around other animals or God forbid, small children. I believe that anyone who leaves a small child alone with a pit should go to jail.

Pit bulls are not really terriers. They are mostly bulldog. Bull terriers and such don’t really fit the true terrier mold except for the prey drive. Their drive really pales beside that of a true terrier that has not been bred for show. Nothing has a stronger drive than a Jack Russell. A Jack on a mission is truly a sight to behold.

That seems to be the ignored fact when any child suffers from an attack by a pit bull dog. It's all against the breed. I do believe there would be adults in charge of a five year old child. Why would they allow them to be together? I own a pit bull and that dog is in my total control 24/7. The breed is what it is. An adult does need to be accountable.

People are free to be as dumb as they want to be, no matter the year.
