Pit bulls - loving and friendly, until they aren’t.

Exactly.

“Pit bulls - loving and friendly, until they aren’t.”

Any dog that has been accustomed to having all of the
available attention is going to be jealous of any new
arrival that presents competition. - Tragic. Pit bulls are
bred for different purposes than being family “pets”. Is
it mainly for “dog fighting”? - I wouldn’t even trust our
big old mix-breed dog around a baby or child; and she isn’t a pit bull.

Pit bulls - loving and friendly, until they aren’t.

It's a "Dog of Peace".

[Alas Babylon!]

These arguments will never end until someone does actual research and the results are made public. Every time there is a story about a dog attacking or even killing a person, I can almost guarantee if it is a pit bull it will make national-level news. But again--research doesn't show that, as it is only my opinion.

Here's what I'd like to see:

Dog Breed Maulings/killings in the USA 2017:

Date of Incident	#Killed/Mauled	Breed
1 Jan	Mauled:1	Pit Bull
2 Jan	Killed:5	Chihuahua

Anyway, something like that, with maybe more data, such as Town/State, dwelling/outside, On leash/Roaming/Confined in home/yard, Age of victim, etc., etc.
