Owners used to put their Pit Bulls into illegal fighting‚ which is part of their bad rep. Also‚ when reporters do cases on dog attacks‚ they say that they won’t report it unless it was a Pit Bull‚ or sometimes they’ll even lie in an article about what breed of dog it is and just say it was a Pit Bull. This is wrong. Pit Bulls should not be mistreated like this! In my opinion‚ I think that Pit Bulls would make great pets! I think this because they are just like every other
