By singling out "PitBulls" you are playing right into the "Ban It!" crowd's hands. All dogs can bite and not all dog owners are responsible people. To single out a breed is to let the ban it crowd stick their foot in the door. First it's Pits then Rottys then Chows, and so on. Like Ron White said "You can't fix stupid" and no matter how many responsible people there are the irresponsible folks will always be with us. The town that I live in makes you buy a dog license every year but they don't check whether or not my dog is trained or cared for properly, only if they have had their shots. That is why licensing pet owners, at least in NJ, is a joke. A lousy owner's licensed dog might tear off your arm but at least you won't get rabies. It is the same for reptiles, to a large number of people a snake is a snake and they are all dangerous and people who like them are nuts. And then something like this horrific incident happens and it fuels the fires of the ban it crowd.
