Exactly. My Rat Terrier could bite me but his jaw won't lock and he'd do hardly any damage. A Pitbull could kill me with just one bite. Also, Pitbulls have a genetic predisposition to be a little off. It takes a strong, dominant owner to train this dog and most Pitbull owners I've seen aren't responsible enough to handle this breed. I'm not down with exterminating the breed but I think the owners need to take responsibility- such as taking classes on the right way to train their Pitbull.
