Civil court worked for me and my neighbor's. Took owner to court with neighbors for witnesses. Dog was declared a dangerous dog. Dog had to neutered, chipped, owner had to purchase additional insurance, signs posted on both sides of the house and an approved cage to house the dog. Dog had to be on a leash at all times and was supposed to wear a dangerous dog collar. Animal control was supposed to pay a visit once a year to check.

I don't think anyone is issuing a blanket condemnation of the breed. Rather saying that some breeds are more prone to these problems.I can read the news just like anyone else. There is no question that they have attacked and killed people, but put the blame where it belongs, on the irresponsible dog owners.
And show some credible sources that prove pit bulls were bred to be attack dogs.
Position Statement on Pit Bulls
It is important to evaluate and treat each dog, no matter its breed, as an individual.www.aspca.org
Today’s pit bull is a descendant of the original English bull-baiting dog—a dog that was bred to bite and hold bulls, bears and other large animals around the face and head. When baiting large animals was outlawed in the 1800s, people turned instead to fighting their dogs against each other. These larger, slower bull-baiting dogs were crossed with smaller, quicker terriers to produce a more agile and athletic dog for fighting other dogs.
I'd also seriously question whether you honestly know what a real pit bull is. But it's easy for ill-informed or misinformed people like yourself to make such comments.
And there in lies the root of the problem. And dog if aggressive enough can inflict damage to a person.
There is no denying that certain dog breeds genetically have certain characteristics irregardless of the owner. These characteristics have been bred into the dog. One might even say that a dog lacking in the bred characteristics is a defective dog. For example hunting dogs that demand high dollar because they are good hunters. My Boston Terrier bred as a lapdog for grandma will never be a hunter. As dog owners we are responsible for our dogs and we can enhance their genetic traits with training but we can not deny that there are certain breeds that are meant to be watch dogs, some are meant to fight, some are meant to guard the flock, etc. We place a priority on dogs that have breeding of desired traits. It is obvious that a dog that has been bred to fight is more likely to fight than a dog bred to be a lapdog.
That happens all the time.
Old friend of mine live south of Eze. I remember more then a few time going up to bow hunt & he would hand over his AK. Only dogs that were not shoot on sight were his dogs. And said thing was they all had collars, few people dump dogs with their info on them.
