There is no campaign to make pitbulls look evil - they seem to do a pretty decent job of earning and maintaining their reputation themselves. What else do you expect from a breed that was meant to kill other dogs in fighting pits?
If you own a pitbull, you are the proud owner of a dog that everyone else around you is uncomfortable with. Way to be the person everyone else wants out of their neighborhood.
I personally LOVE dogs. But being someone who likes dogs I recognize that there are some dogs that are not meant to be family pets.

Good response, but my post was about dogs in general and not pitbulls. And I understand pitbulls are dangerous, but some of them aren't. My family friends own one and it behaves just like any other dog, I don't think it deserves to be put down just cause it looks mean and was meant for fighting. Like how certain breeds of animals are killers, like tigers, lions, etc, yet they can be trained to not hurt a fly. And in attacks, the lack of owner responsibility has to do with it too, not just for pits, but for all dogs.
