Humans view Pitbulls as dangerous mammals ....

No matter how 'loving' such animals might behave with their owners: society has a right to advocate for mutual safety against legitimate threats ..... Pitbulls possess a very powerful physical ability to cause extreme trauma to human beings .... Their temperament is immaterial: their threat is in their powerful jaws, not in their 'heart' .....

I am not one to call for banning breeds: but I would hold owners of such dangerous animals accountable, and would have them stand in court to answer as a proxy for their animals; If they DID NOT control those animals, and those animals caused death or injury, then they should be convicted of manslaughter, mayhem, or assault .....

You are free to possess those animals, but you are not free of the responsibility for the consequences of their behavior .....
