Thank you for your answer.

While I acknowledge your opinion, I don't believe that this is the forum for you to be stating your concerns regarding the breed. However, because it was mentioned: while pitbulls have their aggressive history, it is still up to their owners to be knowledgeable regarding how to properly train their dog. An aggressive owner can train their dog to be aggressive.

If you would like, you can read this article regarding this topic. The following is an excerpt from the article titled, Are Pit Bulls Dangerous? under the section "Paying the Price for Pitbulls:"

"Fans of pit bulls are quick to assert that a dog's propensity for attack depends in large part on its owner and how it is raised, and there's considerable evidence that owners of pit bulls and other high-risk dogs are themselves high-risk people.

A 2006 study from the Journal of Interpersonal Violence revealed that owners of vicious dogs were significantly more likely to have criminal convictions for aggressive crimes, drugs, alcohol, domestic violence, crimes involving children and firearms.

These findings were confirmed in a 2009 report published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences. The authors of that report wrote, "Vicious dog owners reported significantly more criminal behaviors than other dog owners," and they were ranked "higher in sensation seeking and primary psychopathy."

And a 2011 study, also in the Journal of Forensic Sciences, found that "vicious dog owners reported significantly higher criminal thinking, entitlement, sentimentality and super-optimism tendencies."
