I agree.
A few years ago, my boyfriend's roommate (before he lived w/ my bf) let a friend his stay with him for about two weeks. The guy had a pitbull. It was a sweet dog and they didn't train the dog to be mean or to attack. He was just a pet. My sorority sister was living with him at the time and she had a cat. They're unsure what exactly happened between the cat and the pitbull but my boyfriend's roommate came home to find...well...let's just say they were lucky to have two women who worked for the Humane Society living next door who were efficiently able to get rid of the...errrr...debris. They got rid of the dog after that incident because they feared what could happen if he were to snap like that on a human. This dog was a sweetie but, because of genetics, he was more likely to snap and put a hurting on its victim more so than a cocker spaniel or a Boxer. It's kinda like the tiger that attacked Roy a few months back. The tiger had been trained since birth to be a "show tiger" and a pet but it just snapped one day and almost killed its victim.
