do you think pit bulls should be illegal?

it's all in how you raise them. i cant stress that enough. either you are over exagerating on how bad ur neighbors dogs are and you really are a hater of dogs or you have never owned a dog of any nature before. i have to admit it, i was scared to get a big dog because i had been bitten by 4 dogs before but they were all small. one caused me to get reconstuctive surgery on my ankle because it totally ripped the back of my ankle apart. in my opinion, little dogs tend to bite more because they are in fear of people because people we are bigger then them. i now own a boxer, lab, pitbull mix. 70 lb beautiful dog. she is so well behaved that i dont even have to hold her leash and she listens to comands without any formal training. she will not even go after other dogs while i am not holding the leash. pitbulls and boxers are very much alike but no one will say boxers are vicious. only pit bulls. she has had many of dogs not like her, so i asked the vet y this could be because she just wants to play. he said because her chest plate is huge and both boxers and pitbulls have huge chest plates compared to most other dogs. when she gets into her stance to play she sticks her chest out like all pit bulls and boxers do when they want to play. that in turn offends the other dog and they get defensive which inturn will cause a confrentation between the 2 and it always will get blamed on the bigger or more feirce looking dog. i now make her lay down and stay and she lets the other dog check her out first. now they all play nicely even the two pound dog next door. i have 2 kids that were only 2 and 4 when we got her as a puppy. she acts like another mother to them even though she has never had her own and doesnt know what motherhood is.

They are dangerous when the OWNER trains them that way. Any dog can be dangerous--I'm more scared of little dogs than a German Shepard. It's all in how they're raised.
