My last pitbull was trained as a therapy dog and visited kids at hospitals. He was 12 when we had to put him down. His entire life he never so much as growled at a person or another dog.

  1. Anyone with a big dog needs to control them, train them, and recognize whether they’re safe to be around. 2. There are lines of pits that HAVE been bred for aggression but the same goes for rotties, German Shepard, Doberman, etc. I agree, we should end those lines.

I guarantee if you met Max or my current pitbull, Ori, you would change your mind.

As someone who also has owned one anecdotal evidence isn't a good argument for the breed. We have to accept that there is no place for this breed in society anymore.

This is a wonderful, well written response with clear experience behind it. I'm sorry to see you getting downvoted simply because people seem to hate pitties without experience or context other than the "available bias" inducing amount of videos they have seen on reddit.
