My family raised pit bulls my whole life. My younger cousin was around them constantly. When his son was born, they did everything right: brought home a blanket with the baby’s scent, used the pacifier trick, introduced the dog slowly. Still, two days after they brought the baby home, one of the female pits completely snapped.
There is no doing everything right when it comes to pits. The only right is bullets, if not bullets stay away from em.

Maverick should be put down, if not, next attack should put owner in jail.

You guys are soft.
Been around multiple pits,German shepherds, labs. And nothing bad happened nor were the dogs aggressive.

Here’s one that I just learned.
One of my neighbors is an Oncologist and his wife. They have a young son, maybe 4 or 5 years old and are great people. I started seeing the wife walking the neighborhood daily, and she has a pretty large dog on a leash. She says it’s a Cane Corso, and it’s the sweetest dog ever. Tells me to come pet it. It doesn’t act aggressive, but I know I want no part of this dog. It’s a large muscular dog that I’d have a tough time with if it decided to attack me. She swears it’s the nicest sweetest dog, and obeys her every command.
Fast forward 3 months.
I see her walking the neighborhood, but no dog. Ended up talking to her, and the dog has been “sent away and won’t be returning.” Apparently the dog became aggressive one day, and attacked their son. I don’t know if it just snapped a little at the son, or went full attack mode, but haven’t seen the son in months and the dog is outta here.
Be careful around dogs that can do you harm.

I'll take it that you didn't know this.
How many times has a monkey escaped its cage at a zoo and mauled a person to death in the U.S? Now compare that number to pit bull related death statistics.

I frequent a local dive bar. Very friendly older bunch. Dogs are welcome. Everyone there loves them. One of the regular has a pit with a head the size of Texas. She was asked not to bring it in because of what might happen. If I walked in and that dog was there, I’d have ONE drink and leave. What bothers me most about pits is they don’t just snap at you, they want to kill you. Good enough for me.

Pit bulls arent my problem, its their trashy, irresponsible owners.
Ownership has absolutely nothing to do with it. There is something biologically different about pit bulls than any other breed. It is hard-wired into their DNA, and unprovoked attacks (even within their own packs/families) are extremely common.
You could have given a golden retriever to Pablo Escobar himself, and that dog would have just chased butterflies around the compound and gotten a daily case of the zoomies.

I've owned Shepherds and been around Pit Bulls
Shepherds are brilliant, Pit Bulls are dullards with teeth. Controlling them isnt nearly as easy as other more intelligent breeds.

A shepherd, collie or other dog might nip you if things go south.
Pit Bulls will lock on and not let go until you bleed out.

"Sweet" or not, many dogs eventually snap as they age, even with the best of training or care.
This isn't a Yorkie we're talking about here. What if it did snap one day?
I wouldn't want my child around anything that has the capacity to kill. That includes many large breeds. From our good friend "Grok":
The bite force of a pit bull (e.g., American Pit Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier) is estimated at 235–250 PSI (pounds per square inch). Below is a comparison with other large dog breeds, based on available data and studies of canine bite force. Note that exact measurements vary by individual dog, jaw size, and testing methods, and specific data for some breeds may be limited. Bite Force of Large Dog Breeds
• Pit Bull (American Pit Bull Terrier/Staffordshire Terrier): 235–250 PSI
• Known for strong jaws and tenacity, but their bite force is not the highest among large breeds.
• German Shepherd: 238–250 PSI
• Comparable to pit bulls, with strong bites suited for police and guard work.
• Rottweiler: 300–328 PSI
• Higher bite force, reflecting their muscular build and guarding instincts.
• Doberman Pinscher: 245–305 PSI
• Sleek but powerful, with a bite force slightly above pit bulls, used in protection roles.
• Mastiff (English Mastiff): 500–552 PSI
• One of the strongest bites due to their massive head and jaw size.
• Kangal: 700–743 PSI
• Holds the record for the strongest bite force among dog breeds, used for guarding livestock against predators.
• Cane Corso: 650–700 PSI
• A powerful Italian mastiff breed with a bite force approaching the Kangal’s, used for protection.
• Dogo Argentino: 500–600 PSI
• A hunting breed with a strong bite, designed for taking down large game like boars.
• Great Dane: 400–500 PSI
• Despite their gentle temperament, their large size contributes to a formidable bite.
• Saint Bernard: 350–450 PSI
• Large working breed with a strong bite, though less aggressive than others listed.
Notes
• Context: For comparison, a human bite force is about 120–160 PSI, and a lion’s is around 600–650 PSI.
• Variability: Bite force depends on the dog’s size, health, and training. Measurements are often estimates from studies using pressure sensors or jaw structure analysis.
• Data Sources: These figures are based on general veterinary and canine studies (e.g., Dr. Brady Barr’s bite force tests for National Geographic). Exact numbers for some breeds, like pit bulls, may rely on approximations due to limited direct testing.

Biologically it just doesn’t make sense. There are infinite breed types that never existed because we just never happened to breed them into existence. Pitbulls don’t have to exist, no dog breed is natural. People bred them to be exactly how they are, every breed, for certain tasks. So if you’re given the option to own one that has the capability of snapping and killing a child, and a grown adult man cannot stop it, why take the chance? That goes for plenty of huge breeds as well, but for some reason the bully type seems to be far and away the most deadly.
