Are Pit Bulls From Satan?

An 11-month-old baby boy was killed by the family’s 2-year-old pit bull in Eastpointe, Michigan.  Apparently the baby was sleeping on a bed when the dog dragged him onto the floor.  The child’s father tried to pull the animal off the boy and when that failed, he shot and killed the dog.  They say the dog was jealous of the child and that was his revenge.  The couple had been trying to have a child for like 11 years or so.  This was their miracle child. 

Now why do people continue to have pit bulls around children?  Pit bulls are not family dogs. A dude at my job had to put his pit bull asleep after he viciously gutted and killed his smaller dog and injured his rottweiler who was trying to save the small dog.

All of us know of some story like this but we continue to keep these animals around our loved ones.  When I saw this story tears formed in my eyes.  All because of a jealous moment a child has been stripped of a life it fought so hard to live.  Why is this breed of dog so unpredictable?  Why does it have years of peacefulness but then one day snap?

It seems to me the dog may possess human emotion, yet like an unschooled child does not know how to handle those emotions.  I WILL NEVER get a pit bull or have one around me or my kids.  If there ever was a satanic watchdog the pit bull has to be it! I don't trust them. 

I hate bugs with a passion, but I'd have tarantula as a pet before a pit bull!
