Why are people so terrified of Pittbulls?

I honestly do not understand why people are so afraid of these dogs, they have a bad name because of irrisponsible owners treating them badly and negatively and they end up being not very people friendly. It isn't the dog's fault, its the people who mistreated the poor animal. There is a group of people, heck they have their own show on animal planet. Pitt Bulls and Parolees. The owner and founder of this place, Tia Torres has the biggest heart in all the world she takes in unwanted and unloved dogs, and people. She was based out of Los Angles until the people around them deemed them unsafe. They have officially moved to New Orleans, and they have finally made a major impact.

I honestly do not understand why so many people can be so afraid of something so freaking cute? Well there is a stereotype that pitt bulls will bite your face off. Well I'm sorry but:

I absolutely love pitt bulls heck, I have one. He is honestly just a play crazy dog. They are honestly incredible dogs, and they are very loyal. No one should say that all pittbulls are dangerous. Not all of them are aggressive and mean. The only reason that a pittbull would be aggressive is because of how it's owner has treated them. Some people get pittbulls just to get them for fighting dogs. If the dog dies, they just throw the body away. I love pittbulls this issue should most definatelly be fixed. Pittbulls are amazing.
