It is too bad that pit bull owners are in such denial about the dangers their dogs present.

Wow, I guess I can be glad that I am not frm Australia. This posting on one of their Embassy's websites paints a bleak and dangerous picture.

I can understand their concern but it is somewhat exaggerated in this travel advice to their citizens.
