I agree with a lot of what you say. And it will take many years for the breeders to remedy this if it can be remedied in this (U.S.) country. My groomer even owns a Pit Bull and she cannot bring the dog onto her business property due to the insurance liability because the insurance in this state will not cover this breed in the event of injury to others. Her homeowners insurance will not cover her in case of liability if something should happen involving her pet.
There are allot of business' across the country that are not allowing Pit Bulls or breeds of similiar looks in their establishments due to insurance liabiltiy.
Even with my dogs being Therapy Dogs, I have run into a problem here and there. I have to carry PROOF they are INSURED..
And still they cringe at them coming in.
It boils down to "dog ownership responsibility"...sad so many are not
