    I think that people should be able to own them, but they need to be put in the same class as foxes, wolves, hyenas and wild dogs. I met a sweet pit bull at a friend’s house but the first thing she did was jump on me and scratch my stomach, which drew blood.

      My friend met a sweet pitbull, and then it bit her on the neck. They aren’t just strong, they are unpredictable as hell.
