Im sorry... Ive never heard of humans "breeding". last time I checked, humans reproduce and animals are bred.

just take a little stroll through ANY shelter or rescue in America today. Tomorrow, assist the vet tech in euthanizing the 40,000 domestic animals in the US daily.

Like EVERYTHING Humans touch, bastardize, taint, pollute and embrue... such is the existance of Pit Bulls in the World today.

What most people fail to ackowledge about the breed is a stupid simple fact: PIT BULLS ARE TERRIERS. Imagine a 50-100 lbs Jack Russel Terrier. THAT is a Pit Bull. Intelligent, thinking breed that requires alot of exercise, positive and constructive stimuli, socialization, and a pack or family to belong to.

Pit Bulls have not failed humanity, Humanity has failed the Pit Bull Breed(s). The argument that Pit Bulls were bred for fighting lost its credibility about 250 years ago. And what most people do not know is the original dog belonging to the Molossoid/ Mastiff family of breeds was orginally bred to be an all purpose breed used for hearding live stock, flushing rodents out of homes, and protecting families on remote farms and ranchs in the British Isle circa 1500.

The breeds #1 asset ( and the one most bastardized by humans) is their "Loyalty". Tell a Pit Bull to protect a child? Consider it done. Tell that same Pit Bull to get in a ring and kill another dog? Consider it done... because the owner said so.

The problems and arguments revolving around this breed (for or against) constantly find their way back to irresponsible humans. Whether its backyard breeding or dog fighting or abuse/ neglect in denying the dog all the neccessary tools needed to be well rounded and friendly dog (ie socialization, exercise, healthy food and clean water, spay/ nuetering, any needed medical care, and a family or pack to belong to).

Genuinely raise the bar on accountability of pet ownership (severe fines and incarceration for offenders) and our culture will see a decline in irresponsible Pit Bull ownership, thus reducing Pit Bull (and ALL BREEDS) related Incidents.

Obviously... (after the Michael Vick incident)... our culture is not truly ready to cut the root of the problem. A slap on the wrist does not deter would be dog fighters and abusers from keeping on, business as usual. Its easier to lash out at a race of beings that in our culture have no rights.
