Pit bulls fall right in there with rappers, gangbangers, tattoos, piercings and baggy pants. I have no use for any of them.

How offensive. I am a college-educated, happily married WOMAN that owns a house in a nice neighborhood. I don’t own spike collars, I don’t let my dogs run loose, and I certainly wouldn’t allow my pets to behave as the dogs in these stories do. They are spayed/neutered, socialized, and trained. They are not vicious. They have lots of energy, and need a job. They need a confident owner. They are just like any other dog, save for the fact that the media and a bunch of idiot thugs somehow believe they are supernatural beings.
I would not adopt a border collie to a family with young children in an apartment. It doesn’t mean I think border collies are dangerous, but I do know that dogs that need jobs can become very destructive when they aren’t allowed an outlet for that energy. I have personally witnessed border collies that were vicious and scary, simply due to lack of exercise that ferments into anxiety, obsessiveness, and neurotic behaviors. The same could be said for many working type dogs, as it is true for pit bulls.
FYI, public health records are showing that two thousand people end up in the hospital every day in this country due to dog attacks. The media reports a couple of these attacks, but leaves out the rest. Why do you think that is? I was attacked, and it was pretty bad, but no news reporter thought it was newsworthy. I wasn’t attacked by a pit bull, but a pack of dogs, one of which was a lab. It simply wasn’t going to make them any money, so they moved on.
