Your opinion is based on ignorance. Pitbulls were bred for a sport requiring that the dogs be handled by all sorts of strangers. This is why they have a strong tendency (more so than most breeds of dog) to be friendly towards everyone they meet. The problem the breed has is that they are so capable of harm that, on the rare occasions they do inappropriately attack someone, they make the headlines far more often than other breeds who bite. This skews the numbers on the stats making it appear that a typical Pitbull is constantly in search of victims to attack. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
