Jimmy your points re valid.
The same can be made for any dog that is trained to be aggressive. My standing is no dog should EVER bite a person (protection not withstanding). A pit bull "mauling" is an aggressive dog. Not a bite that would occur if the bite was accidental (like the poodle example). I would argue that any dog trained to be aggressive will attempt to maul. That's what an aggressive dog does, any breed. The difference is Pits are just more effective. The same can be said for Rottweilers, GSD's, Bull Mastiffs, etc.
Look give a (insert profiled group here) a gun, someone is gonna get shot. Give them a pit, someone is likely to get bitten.
People have every right NOT to chose to get a pit. It's not the dog for everyone. No dog is. But condemning the breed because of irresponsible owners is not the answer.
