But, you may have heard Pit Bulls are inherently vicious
When people see you with a Pitbull in the street, they may dodge to stay away or walk across the street, putting a bold face on asking how you manage to pet one.
It’s true that some Pitbulls have aggressive behavior, but the bewildering reaction of the animal is due to poor breeding methods of immoral breeders, poor socialization, bad labeling, lack of training, and even abuse. And, the end result is that the breed as a whole is perceived as unsafe.
