Do you think parents are irresponsible for owning pit bulls?

Asked by BBSDTfamily (6839points) April 26th, 2010

My husband and I recently rescued 7 abandoned pit bull puppies and decided to keep 2 of them. We have a lot of experience with bully breeds and are very responsible pet owners as well as parents. We’d never leave our child alone with any dog regardless of the breed. Several family members are “concerned” because of “all the pit bull attacks”, but we believe that any breed can be raised as a loving family member and we’d like to give these puppies a home. We think there is such a thing as being responsible parents w/ a large dog in the house- you just have to be very aware and in control of what’s going on in your house. What do you guys think? Anyone know of a pit bull that has shown absolutely no human aggression and then attacked someone? That’s what some family members think will happen. We think we can spot problem behavior long before it escalates.
