My vet of twenty five years believes, the personality type of those who have pits creates a perfect storm of violence, as the owners are usually anti social and the dogs are as well.
His opinion appears to be borne out by the 2009 Psychology Today article “Are pets like their owners?”. But there are some veterinarians who regard pit bulls and their tendancies as an income source due to the injuries.
Perfect post but must add. Pits have been bred for violence. They really need to be put down, all of them. I am a dog lover and have two huge loving mutts of very mixed genes. They are both rescue dogs. They just wanted to go home to a place that wanted them and loved them. They are all love and not the least bit aggressive. However if someone attacked me or my wife they would lay down their lives for us.
