I am just worried about the people that perpetuate the stereotype. It seems like so many pit owners are either people that are desperate to disprove the stereotype and have no idea how to handle the dogs or they are people who love the stigma of having a badass dog which does neither they nor the breed any good.

Stereotype?
Like this:
"Pit bulls make up 6 percent of the dog population in Canada and the US, but they are responsible for 68 percent of dog attacks and 52 percent of dog-related deaths from 1982 to 2009, TIME Magazine reported."
Nothing to worry about? Misunderstood? No problem at all?
