Pit Bull history info

[bellas_mama]

I am writing a speech for a class. We have two, one is informative and one is persuasive. The informative one is supposed to be background information for the persuasive one. I chose to talk about breed specific laws and why they are wrong. What I am requesting is help finding factual information regarding the history, temperment, and breed specific laws to back up and give background info for my argument that breed specific laws should not be allowed. Any help would be wonderful and appreciated. Thanks for our time...
