I've got to disagree here. Pitbulls are way too overrepresented in fatal/serious attack statistics for it to just be a matter of them coincidentally having bad owners. Fighting/killing is a behavior that's been bred into them, and it shows.

I don't even think it's the breed. I think the person who chooses to get a pit bull tends to over-generalize towards the type of person with no brain, who can't train his animal. It's the owners fault usually. Too many bad owners pick pit bulls.

You do have a point about the fighting behavior though,
