I have a hard time believing that pits are inherently vicious.
They aren't when you are a friend of the little old lady that owns
one. (I knew the `little old lady' when she was young, but then, I
was young at the same time ...)
... *owners* are far more responsible for their dogs' behavior than
I had imagined ...
That is very true. Dogs do what the leader of their pack wants. That
entitity is often the person who feeds them, who is often their owner.
I am sure that pitbulls are bred to have strong jaws and to use them.
Many humans call this action `vicious'. I suspect they are also loyal
to the pack leader who feeds them. The pack leader does not have to
be the same species; the pack leader does not have to be a dog. In
other words, the pack leader could be a human.
I suspect modern dogs in the US are mostly bored since they don't work
as dogs once did for humans. Generally speaking, dogs can endure even
more boredom than those humans who endure a lot, but the amount can be
too much ...
