i have two pitt bulls.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Pit bull is the common name for a type of dog. Formal breeds often considered in North America to be of the pit bull type include the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, American Bully, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The American Bulldog is also sometimes included. Many of these breeds were originally developed as fighting dogs from cross breeding bull-baiting dogs (used to hold the faces and heads of larger animals such as bulls) and terriers. After the use of dogs in blood sports was banned, such dogs were used as catch dogs in the United States for semi-wild cattle and hogs, to hunt and drive livestock, and as family companions. Despite dog fighting now being illegal in the United States, it still exists as an underground activity, and pit bulls are a common breed of choice. The term pit bull is often used loosely to describe dogs with similar physical characteristics, and the morphological (physical) variation amongst \"bully breed\" dogs makes it difficult for anyone, even experts, to visually identify them as distinct from \"non-pit bulls\". While mixed breed dogs are often labeled as \"pit bulls\" if they have certain physical characteristics such as a square shaped head or bulky body type, visual identification of mixed breed dogs is not recommended by the scholarly community.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I have mixed feelings about Pit Bulls, as I know many people will use them for dog fights, and that is their go-to breed .So sad, isn't it?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes, the breed of dog shouldn't be blamed for the way the humans that raise it.  Pit Bulls are absolutely lovely dogs if they are not raised to be pit fighters."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, and I don't think some people realize that other dogs, such as the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and the American Bully actually fall into the pit bull type as well.

In fact it's a varied breed."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, that's true. Often people will try to label dogs with square shaped heads and a bulky body as a pit bull, but you really can't tell by their visual characteristics for sure."}, {"role": "user", "content": "What I do know is that pit bulls are absolutely lovely companions and shouldn't be used as tools for the willful hurting of other people or other dogs."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I agree. It's sad that the people that stopped using them in dog fights, would then use them to hunt for wild cattle and hogs, or to hunt and gather livestock. They should just be a companion."}, {"role": "user", "content": "They didn't earn the title of \"Man's Best Friend\" by just being tools.  It's obvious that even ancient cultures in China and even Rome loved their dogs dearly."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "That's true. I have two dogs and I couldn't imagine mistreating them. Unfortunately, even though dog fighting is illegal now, there are still so many people that will use pit bulls in underground fights."}, {"role": "user", "content": "It's truly a shame.  Aren't there enough sports they can bet on that don't involve the torture of animals?"}]
