Stop BSL 
i do not support BSL. every dog small or large can be dangerous.go after the owners of the dogs not the dogs.the people on the end of the leash are the danger.people of all types tease these dogs. my daughter has a pit and three children that dog is so gentle with them I have tried to get himto bite me and he never has.its the way they are raised.
