I had a wiener dog that was more dangerous then the pit's in our neighborhood, or the one I found and kept until we found it's owner. I had more stitches because of that dang dog then any other animal I have owned since.

To the topic at hand, Pits are not more likely to injure or kill another person, but they are stronger then any other dog, so where a chihuahua might just cause you a few stitches and some pain but a pit will cause much more severe damage.

I believe that the owners of pits need to take greater precautions with protecting the people around them, not just for the people's sake but for the dogs also. I am tired of hearing about a pit being put down because some idiot did something stupid and got hurt and now the dog has to be put down.

I will come back...I need to go do something real quick! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!
