Frankly I blame the so called pitbull advocates for the problems that are happening with the breed. You sugar coat it's inherent genetic tendencies towards aggression. If you do acknowledge it, it's to leave out it's aggression towards other animals. Maybe if you did like other breed advocates and list the traits of the breed, maybe fewer people would own one and the issues of attacks will lesson. An example: http://www.resteddoginn.ca/buyarott.php
And of course it's always to blame the owner and not the dog. Seems to me, it's usually the dog doing the attack. If you feel the owners should be held responsible, why don't you advocate for stricted laws? Until that happens, I will continue to advocate for anyone that has a pitbull living in it's neighborhood to be locked and loaded.
