I was never a fan of pit bulls or rottweilers but I know they've gotten
a bad name. As you say, usually by people who are into some nefarious
activities and train them to be vicious. They don't have to be. Seems
to me they were originally trained for dog fights. A horrific thing!

And pit bulls have locking jaws which does make them a bit more
dangerous if they decide to bite. They won't let go.
