Chay, I don't think you and I are in complete disagreement here.

My statement is that any breed can be poorly trained but a poorly trained bull is more dangerous due to their inherent strength.

Your statement is that weather by pre-disposition or not, pits are "more capable to easily kill/hut kids.

I think we are saying the same thing here, in fact I will take your original argument one step further and say any medium to large breed dog is strong enough to hurt/kill kids but bulls are strong enough to kill/hurt some adults as well.

So if we both agree that there is more damage potential in the animals why do you disagree with my statement? Was it the statement about poor training being the root cause of attacks? because I believe I can qualify that statement if necessary.

I will say that I believe there should be a closer watch on bull breed owners or the requirement to obtain a license proving you are responsible enough to raise such a strong dog. Granted I also believe everyone should be licensed to have children as well. However I disagree with outlawing the animals all together. I have met some bull breed owners that are so dedicated to the proper care and rearing of their pets that I would visit their home wearing pants made of bacon without any fear.

My initial post was not intended to directly defend my choice of breed or anyone else's. I was merely explaining, when earlier in the post someone made a sarcastic remark and no one got it. How bull breed owners can be a bit sensitive about the subject due to rampant breed prejudice.
