I know I've written a blog similar to this before but it really hits my last nerve when people judge pit bulls by the reputation that they have. You can't even rent an apartment or a house if you own a pit bull. I look at this as being prejudiced. It's the same as judging a man by the color of his skin. How is this any different when your talking about a dog?? Why are things like this not based on a case by case basis? Why don't you come to my house and personally meet my dogs...then tell me if they are vicious. Don't hate on my dogs because they are pit bulls. It makes me feel the same way that someone else would if their child was being picked on at school because of the clothes they wore. People should stop and take a deeper look at their actions and prejudice.
When pit bulls were brought to the United States they were used for hunting, driving livestock, and as family companions. There are so many famous pit bulls and also some well known people that have owned them.
Everyone knows of Helen Keller, who was blind and deaf. She had a pit bull. Petey from The Little Rascals was a pit bull. There is even a famous war hero from WWI who happened to be a pit bull. Sergeant Stubby was an amazing dog and did so much for the 102nd Infantry that he served with. Check him out if you get time.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergeant_Stubby
There are even many celebrities that are currently pit bull owners.
Please judge the deed, not the breed!
