They use to heard bulls and with their strong jaws and large lower jaw they use to jump and disable a full size bull, which is why the bull had a ring around his nose. Cows have weak necks. Pit bulls spawned from the Bulldog, but they were bread to fight. Although it doesn't come naturally to the breed, it's the original purpose for the dogs.
Even though this sounds pretty grim it's only over the past 100 years where the Stafforshire Terrior came to the US so to say it's instinct is not really accurate. And when it comes to fighting dogs the Cane Corso is still the most dangerous in the world. Them, or the Neopolean is 1 and 2. But having a pitbull, even though they would get smashed by other breeds, is a status symbol in the African American community. And don't pretend that that's a surprise to ANYONE. They dress these dogs up in chains and weights for training to fight. These are the people who should be mauled.
But in the end, dogs are dogs. All dogs can be trained, with certain exceptions. I think Cesar Millan has proven to the world that dogs can be trained.
I honestly don't know if explaining the history of the breed helps anyones case, hahaha.

You explained very well. That's actually pretty correct. You also right about the Owners that create these Monsters should be left alone with them when they turn.. You reap what you sow... But its sad to see the dog's turned into monsters.. But it can happen, just like a Rich man spoils his son, they too can become a form of a monster.. it's all about the values you teach your animal

Per Capita, I am not sure.. But lets just take a section, The High Desert for exapmle (because I live in the High Desert.. lol) I would wage that there are almost 2x more pits then there are any other Large breed Dog here. I know just in the block i am on, I can honestly say almost every house has a pit, except one. (there are 15 house's on my block) .. Not Completly over the US, I would Like to see the Numbers... But that's also only ' Registered' Dogs.. I am going to go out on a limb, but i am sure that people that do this to any dog, does not register them.. because there is a paper trail back to the owner..

THat should be with Any dog... Any dog is capable of Mauling, Killing, or causing serious damage to another dog or Person .. Shoot I have seen little dogs tear at each other before.. they are just on a Viciousness on a level of there own.... But a true Owner of Any Breed is responsible for the Animals actions..
Also both my pits love Ever one.. they are terrible guard dogs.. LMAO .. they will lick the shit out of you.. But never bite.. they dont even bite when i play with them...
