I am a fan of pits, I can't wait to get one. I do want to bring up another point here. No not all owners that have pits attack are bad owners. Too often people get their animals from puppy mills which practice shady and unhealthy breeding of animals. If someone does not care about the animals and are just trying to make a quick buck they will breed agressive animals carelessly. If you want to own ANY large breed dog you have to make sure you have the time, room, patience and the willingness to make sure the animal you are getting come from a reputable breeder.
Owners also have to know their dog. Maybe they got the dog as a pup and raised it lovingly but the dog is aggressive anyway. Instead of thinking that even though the dog has aggressive tendancies they can control or train it out of them. If you have an animal that you have a fear "could" one day attack a stranger or another animal no matter how much you love them you need to have them put through an agressive test and if they fail PUT THEM DOWN before they hurt someone.
Perfect example my uncle owned a seafood store in a not so great part of town. He had the biggest rottie I have ever seen that lived at the store and slept there at night. She was the sweetest dog ever when you were "introduced " to her by someone she already knew. When she got on in years and it was time for her to be retired I begged my uncle to let me have her. He absolutely refused and looking back he was definitely right. Her whole training and life had been as a guard dog. I seriously doubted she would have ever turned on me but what if someone walked in the house that hadn't been introduced to her by how she had learned? She would have torn them to pieces.
