Unfortunately, pits are bigger and stronger than your average dog, and so they are more appealing to some really awful people. That is what creates tragic situations like this Vick case - violent and irresponsible owners.
Stop stereotyping the breed, because the "Pits are violent, murderous animals" thing is simply not true. Some are, but not all.

It's fine if you find it irritating. The fact of the matter is that people don't realize that genetic manipulation has been most prevalent in dog breeding. Forget about vegetables and human babies. Dogs have been bred to achieve certain traits, irregardless of how it affects society or their own health (ie some dogs have severe health problems and shorter lives but look a certain way for their owners).
Is that the truth? Yes. Is it irritating? I don't care.
Now there is absolutely no reason to breed a dog to be able to attack and kill better. You can have that same love for a dog regardless of the breed. Am I wrong here or are you just irritated because you own one? Whether or not humans use them to fight has no relevance because if they used a smaller dog to fight, it would cause a lot less damage. It's the same principal - we don't put automatic machine guns in the hands of felons knowingly and think it's OK.
