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.
Yea you cant have a pit in the city, and this is a small town. And outside in the county, you have a permit at the sheriffs office. I saw a American Staffy at a dog show, walk out of the ring after taking the breed, and jump at a cocker spaniel with all the mode of pure attack. Shocked EVERYONE including the judge that had just placed him up. He lost his breed position, and of course points. I heard the judge say " I just had my hands on the dog.." he said as you could see he was visibly shaken badly.. And this wasnt a badly bred dog etc- scary to say the least..
