Pit bulls were not bred to be unpredictably violent, they were bred to perform a certain task, like many other dogs. The use of them in dogfights is a relatively recent phenomenon by some fairly worthless people in our society. If you go back to the early part of the last century, you might be surprised to learn how they were used.

The sentence of mine that you highlight above describes all dogs, not just that particular breed. If you think a pitbull "snaps", as you put it, with no warning then you don't know much about dogs. All dogs are very expressive when it comes to body language, if you cannot read it and you don't know how a dog thinks, then you might find yourself in a situation that you surprises you. Some of us, and all dogs, would have seen that coming from a mile off.

I don't mind agreeing to disagree, it's the typical outcome in threads like this between people that have lived with and cared for these dogs and those who have simply read about them in news articles.
