You writing "one of these land sharks" here shows nothing but your ignorance, to both pit bulls and sharks, as both of these animals don't have any kind of natural aggression towards humans. Sure, both are powerful and CAN hurt you (perhaps more than other animals), but are certainly not short-wired to bite you.

But especially in the case of domesticated dogs, the problem are NOT the pits themselves, but the conditions in which they were raised.
