Pits are incredibly smart dogs. There's some Cops in Washington that use them as their K9 dogs. Drug and explosive detecting K9s.

Bad dogs are created by bad owners.

I was going to ignore it, but since you brought it up, there's a big difference between how a dog treats a family member vs. how they treat a stranger. 

There was also a case where a lion saved a person.  Does that mean that people should be allowed to keep lions as pets and breed lions in their poorly fenced backyards? 

The point being that one example does not prove that EVERY pit bull is not a killer. Likewise, one example (or in the case of pit bulls, many) does not mean that EVERY pit bull is a killer. But pit bulls make up an overwhelming percentage of the dogs that kill people, and an even greater percentage of dogs that kill people without being given specific training to do so.

You have to train a german shepherd to kill, while you have to train some (not all) pit bulls not to kill. See the difference?
