I used to watch the animal cops shows all of the time, although I seldom watch any of them anymore, because I find it all just a little too sad. However, the only one I still like is Animal Precinct. I especially dislike watching Animal Cops Miami and Detriot, because of the laws against Pit Bulls. Although, I can understand that they have to put down aggressive or fighting Pit Bulls, I totally disagree 100% when I see friendly dogs being put down JUST because of their breed.
I know that strongly believe that Pit Bulls can, and often are very good dogs. I do believe they are a little more strong willed than some other breeds, and I believe that they do (in some cases) require somewhat difference type of training compared to some other dogs. However, I do not in any way, shape, or form feel that they are a "dangerous" breed. Almost any dog can be dangerous, it's all in the way the dog is raised, the training/socialization that the dog recieves as it is growing up, and the genetics behind the dog.... that's not just in Pit Bulls, but in any breed.
Sadly, Pit Bulls (like several other breeds) do have very bad reputations.... I feel that this is only making things look even more grim for the breed. Simply because a lot of good pet owners are leary of owning a Pit Bull because of what they have heard, making it even more likely for the dogs to fall into the wrong hands. I find it all very saddening.
