Bad pit bull dogs or bad pit bull dog owners?

Are pit bulls taking the heat for poor training by its owner? Do you believe American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier and dogs with similar characteristics of these breeds have an innate thirst for blood? Isn’t the real culprit for aggressive animals not the animal but the owner? Is it really right to ban the animals because of poor training of its owner(s)?

Now that a story broke of a child wondering away from the adults at a gathering and into the garage where there were 3 pit bulls which attacked the child and the child later died from injuries suffered in the attack all sorts of “evil pit bull” attack stories are abound. Why is it people don’t realize it is not that the breed itself is vicious any dog left to its own devices after a disaster etc. will pack up and become vicious, but how the animal is bred?

I knew people who own pit bulls, American Staffordshire Terriers etc even when they had toddlers and young children around, some disable and the dogs were never vicious or even growled at any of the kids even when the grandchild would pull the tail of the dog, or try to climb its back and ride it. Those dogs would not even bark hardly if strangers came to the door making an inside joke of their watchdog abilities. If the dog is trained right why can’t it serve as a trusted family dogs same a pug, beagle, Shiatsu, etc.?
