"The Pits"

Read an article about the debate over Pit Bulls. They say Pits are responsible for almost 40%of all fatal maulings in this country (which is alot considering how many dogs there are in the US) and a larger percent of injuries. Pit Bull advocates say those numbers are nflated and that it has more to do with the individual dog and more importantly how it is raised. And most pit bulls are loving creatures. So, Should having a pit bull in a household with a small child be considered as neglect or even child abuse? What Do you think?
