They ARE beautiful dogs that are capable of giving much affection and love - - - but, all in all, they are also capable of killing a human if they so wished to - - - for that reason alone, I'd rather they were banned where I live for the sheer possibility that I wouldn't want my own dog to be killed by one. Yes, any dog can and will fight (mine included), but not to death. I'm sorry, but Pit Bulls kill, it happens even when they aren't "trained" to do so, I don't see the breed as a "pet", maybe they should be classified as a "guard dog" if people really, really have a need to own one?
I think that the difference for me is that of all the dogs I've shared my life with thus far, most (if not all, they were all taken home from shelters) were and are capable of biting a human, but I've never had a dog in my life that I ever wondered whether they had it in them to actually try to kill. Pitbulls are just as sweet as any other breed, but I'd never take one home, just because of what they can (and sometimes will) do
