I was chatting with a guy who owns a pit bull. He says that he's a responsible owner, but other pit bull owners are not. His comments were a bit strange.
He says if he does a poor job training his dog and it attacks someone and causes injury, the dog would get euthanized. His comments was that his dog attacking someone would represent a failure as an owner/trainer and that it also means that the dog was not taught well enough not to be a danger to society. He also mentioned that if it attacked his kids, he might end up killing it with his own two hands as a protective instinct to his family. "It's a pit bull, there's a possibility you might actually have to grab something to kill it to actually get it to stop, if it goes out of control."
That's a crazy mentality to have. But props to him.

I had a neighbour with 3 pitbulls and that really changed my opinion on a lot of things.
He was an exceptional owner, very experienced and attentive and those dogs were trained impeccably.
We still had an incident where they almost killed his GF's dog and they attacked me twice.
He broke his leg snowboarding and when they realized that he couldnt 'control' them anymore they went wild.
Yeah, so I've changed my mind on the 'only bad owners' pitch.
