Pit Bulls are extra dangerous because they were specifically bred to fight in dog fights, hence their name.


Um, no. Pitbulls originally were bred to be protective family dogs. They used to be called "nanny dogs." The fact that they are so strong led them to be bred larger and stronger because people wanted to take advantage of that negatively.

Much as I love pit types that's a total myth with nothing to support it. No dogs (including any of the pit type terrier breeds) are nanny dogs. None are bred for it and no animals should be left with children unsupervised

They were and have been bred for dog aggression

Dog aggression isn't the same as human aggression
