Pits have been illegal around here for ages and with good reason, like it or not but some breeds have a tendency to be more agressive then others. When put in the wrong hands those dogs can be deadly and can and should in some cases be concidered a "weapon".
I know people around here who still own these dogs and at least 70% of the people owning them have them as a status symbol. "I have a dangerous dog to compensate for everything I lack, including penis size, and you better bow down to me or I will have him bite your head off!"
These people actualy train these animals to be agressive to everyone but them and their friends and pittbulls are one of a few breeds that are very easily influanced by this sort of stuff. Even if you try to raise it normaly there will always be an increased risk over other breeds, it's a genetic thing, thats fact.

However, while I do agree that these animals are a potential danger, I do not agree with randomly killing them if nothing has happened with that particular animal. If the dog attacked a little 4 year old girl, ripped her half to pieces and proceeded to hump her mother then yea, shoot it, cuz that dog won't ever be taught differently. But not every one of those dogs is violent and some actualy do have them as a friendly pet. And yea it's now illegal, which means they should impound those dogs, not kill them on the spot.
