Here, Cesar talks about how through different decades it has been different breeds that were ostracized (Dobermans in the 70s, Rotweilers in the 80s, etc.) and how Petey in The Little Rascals was a pitbull. Funny how society/culture views things differently nowadays.

Finally, this guy makes some great points and gives some great advice on Pitbulls.

Too bad that non-aggressive temperament doesn’t seem to stop them from killing people way more than any other dog.

In the 13-year period of 2005 to 2017, canines killed 433 Americans. Pit bulls contributed to 66% (284) of these deaths. Within this period, deaths attributed to pit bulls rose from 58% (2005 to 2010) to 71% (2011 to 2017), a 22% rise.1 [Table 2]
Today, when averaging the last 3 years (2015 to 2017), pit bulls comprise about 6.5% of the total U.S. dog population. This is a 63% rise since the 3-year period of 2010 to 2012 when the total U.S. pit bull population was estimated to be 4%.2
