I really don't know anything about pitbulls. But can relate to a similar situation. You see, I have a 12' salt water crocodile as one of my pets. Now don't go judging breeds or anything. I know they have sharp teeth, scary looks, powerful jaws, etc, but they are really mis-judged by the general public. She is the sweetest, most warm and loving crocodile I have ever known. She has never attacked anybody without provocation, or even made a nipping motion to the many people who lovingly try to pet her. She loves to get her belly rubbed, and she gets a good healthy meal 4 times daily, so she is never "hungry" outside the house. I talk to her and share my feelings with her every chance I get, and can see the caring acceptance in her big brown eyes. One day we are out walking (swaying in a carefree afternoon sun) at a local playground recently. One of the youth's there also happened to have a young saltwater crocodile as a pet and of course his croc came over to check out my croc. Well pretty soon his croc and my croc started nosing each other but I guess his croc made an irregular move or something because all of a sudden both crocs started hissing and yawning at each other. I saw that on Crocodile Hunter once, but never ever in our neighbourhood before. The youth tried to pull his croc away but it was too planted in the playground sand and so the tall boy came around the front to try to pull it slightly forward and sideways. That was not smart because both crocs instinctively reacted aggressively to someone coming between them and one grabbed his arm and the other his foot. Unfortunately both appendages were removed from his body. Of course we called 911 right away and the paramedics were able to stop the bleeding and save his life. But what a dummy getting between two crocodiles that are peaceful creatures and just getting to know each other. Why would he do that? People are so probelematic sometimes. My crocodile suffered a number of scratches in the scuffle, and one of them became infected. Wow, that cost me a $700 vet bill! I think people need to wake up and be more accepting and responsible around other people's pets.
