if you have been watching the news then yu will hve seen that there have been about 3 unprovoked pitbull atacks on children less than 5 years old, the damage in some cases has been life threatening. one little girl has lost the ability to smile as a direct result of the attacks. this trend of 3 attacks per week has been going on for a while now and is increacing in frequency, part of the problem is pitbulls look cut when they are younger but were breed for hunting and restraining wounded sport but this breeding has caused attacking and protection to be bread into their genes.Pitbulls are comprable to delayed reaction gun shots because they can act nice and friendly for years and one day just shap and attact the closest thing or person to them so they are dangerous. Be aware that pitbulls often attack for no reason at all, there have been cases of them attaking and killing dogs on leashes.
