    I think a lot of the problem is two things:

    • A certain aggressive portion of people DO think that pitbulls are violent dogs, so they take them on and train them to be aggressive dogs

    • Pitbulls are strong as hell, so when they do act aggressively they cause a lot of damage

    The real answer is to do something about the bad owners, because they give the whole breed a bad reputation. Continually saying that pitbulls are not a problem ignores this point.

      Those two sentences seem to contradict each other. If the bad owners are giving the breed a bad reputation, then the problem isn’t the breed. It’s the owners. What point does that miss?

        I’m clearly saying that the owners are the problem. I’m not sure if you read it clearly.
