FWIW, I don't think the linked article provides enough information to help anyone come to a rational and educated decision on exactly what happened and who's "fault" the lady's death was.
This is a very polarizing subject (not unlike various firearms debates) and one that we have certainly embarked (npi) on here on occasion.
I think almost everyone here appreciates how wonderful dogs in general are so not surprising this subject brings out strong emotions and passion. That's a good thing, IMHO.
My position is - and always has been - we could always use more dialogue on the subject --- but even more so - education.
Lots of videos on YT that advocate FOR the breed. I find that most are just trying to set the record straight against what the media has sensationalized. If the media did a better job covering pit bull in the news events, I think it would help no matter what side you are on.
That said, I respect Jeff's position, regardless of what my position is - as I said - this is a polarizing subject and we could use more facts and a lot less sensationalizing.
And just because many humans who are owned by the breed have had wonderful experiences....doesn't take away from the fact that there are those who have not. I do blame the human for many of those unfortunate situations....too many who just shouldn't own this breed....period.
