Pitbulls, Good or bad?

I love Pitbulls, and get mad at the people that try to make them look bad. The American Pitbull Terrier is not a "ferocious" breed, the reason they are no longer accepted is not that they are a "bad dog", its the irresponsible owners of the dog. The American Pitbull has been a partner and friend to many Americans for many years. in the early 1900's the Pitbull was the canine mascot, the front "man" of American posters. In WWI a Pitbull was given a medal and declared a general, for saving his unit. The Pitbull breed is a gentle kind and very loyal breed of dogs. The reason they are famous for dog fights is that they simply want to please there master. It is sickening how people take advantage of that.
