I can't stand people who fight pits. I lived in FL and raised and breed pits. I had 3 that were like children to me. When I moved up here, I could not find a place to live that would allow me to keep my dogs, and it's this right here that has made a bad name for them. Pits are great dogs, with someone who trains them right. I am disgusted to know that Pit bulls may become banned, that's right illegal, because someone has mistreated them to begin with. I can't even believe that the government can have control or say in what breed dog you own. People that fight/abuse dogs should be the ones who get "banned"! Please help save the Pit bulls!
