Reply #16: That's the problem in a lot of areas

There's a lot raised for dogfighting. And too many are owned by bad owners who want them as a tough status symbol. They seem to really predominate areas in the lower socio-economic strata. And I'm not putting down those owners. Just the one's who only own the dogs for fighting or as some tough status symbol and fail to train, socialize and fence in their pits properly.

I really wish the fad would go away. The animal shelters in my area 50-75% of the dogs in the shelter are pits or pit mixes.

As Cesar Milan puts it pit bulls are a gladiator breed and they need a firm pack leader who knows what they are doing.
