Dog bite severity varies by the breed of dog, and studies have found that pit bull–type dogs have both a high rate of reported bites and a high rate of severe injuries, compared to other non–pit bull–type dogs.
Pit bull–type dogs are extensively used in the United States for dogfighting, a practice that has continued despite being outlawed. Several nations and jurisdictions restrict the ownership of pit bull–type dogs through breed-specific legislation.

I don't understand. This is America. Don't they have guns?
I think pit bulls are immune to bullets??
Nobody test do not hurt the puppies it's not their fault. Just maybe phase em out thanks.
People need to stop breeding them and muzzle the ones they have when they go out for a walk.
Actually I agree with you to an extent. I usually think that dogs are just doing dog stuff and they should not be held responsible just for being what they are.
What I was referring to, was that the answer most Americans seem to come to with problems involves shooting something. So I'm surprised this was not THEIR answer whether it was to shoot the dogs or to shoot the owner. That just seems like America these days.
That said, I actually read the article and the prospect of not being able to leave the house without being set upon by these powerful animals...well let's just say I wouldn't blame the neighbors for protecting themselves in this case. I mean if the neighbor isn't going to be held responsible and animal control isn't going to handle it, I'm kind of at a loss myself for what I would do. Maybe some bear spray?
