Although the APBT was once used as a national symbol of courage and pride, from the Buster Brown and RCA Mascot to a decorated War Hero in World War II, to Petey the Pit Bull from the Little Rascals, etc... the breed is largely misunderstood today. The APBT has been bred throughout history based on performance. A well bred APBT has a steady temperament and is NOT inherently aggressive towards humans. In the past several years, an alarming number of local jurisdictions throughout the US have passed "breed specific" laws pertaining to "Pit Bulls" or "Dogs that are found to be of Pit Bull type". These laws are written in vague language and range from requiring the dog to be muzzled in public and forcing owner to take out a special insurance policy, to the outright banning of "Pit Bulls". These laws are unfair because they discriminate against a dog just because it is a certain breed, or that it "looks" like a certain breed. These laws fail to address the real problems of truly vicious dogs of any breed: IRRESPONSIBLE OWNERS!!!
