Considering this, why is everyone scared of pit bulls?
Whether they deserve it or not, pit bulls have bad reputations, inspiring fear in many people. Pit bulls do cause more fatal attacks than any other breed, but this is not the entire story. While tendencies do permeate the breed, many fear pit bulls based on myths, their fighting history and questionable statistics.
One may also ask, how do you scare a pitbull away? Resist the impulse to scream and run away. Remain motionless, hands at your sides, and avoid eye contact with the dog. Once the dog loses interest in you, slowly back away until it is out of sight. If the dog does attack, "feed" it your jacket, purse, bicycle or anything you can put between yourself and the dog.
Similarly one may ask, are Pit Bulls Dangerous by Nature?
“There is not any breed of dog that is inherently more dangerous,” said Marcy Setter of the Pit Bull Rescue Center. “That's simply not true.” But critics say that pit bulls are inherently dangerous no matter how they're treated, because violence is in their DNA.
What do most pit bulls die from?
The Pit Bull is prone to various forms of heart disease and congenital heart defects, including valve malformations and irregularities in heart rhythm. Some of these problems are minor and can be left untreated in an otherwise healthy dog, while some may require surgery and the medication.
