Karen Delise, author of Fatal Dog Attacks, has stated, “For the past 20 years, Pit Bulls have been subjected to cruelty, abuse and mistreatment to a degree and on a scale that no other breed in recent history has ever had to endure.” The current popularity of the pit bull with criminals and other irresponsible owners has resulted in the creation of a number of unsound dogs. The pit bulls once-revered characteristics of loyalty and tenacity have been manipulated by those looking for a dog to ruthlessly defend their homes or make them rich by fighting to the death in dogfighting matches. In the process of making their dogs vicious, these owners abuse their dogs in unthinkable ways. This inhumane treatment can indeed make a pit bull (or any other breed of dog) aggressive and dangerous, thereby driving the pit bulls negative media image and fueling support for pit bull bans.
