Pit bulls are domesticated animals selectively bred by humans. They are domestic canines and are, in fact, the same species as all other domestic canines, canis lupus familiaris. Is your claim that no canine is domesticated? Changing the meaning of words to try and make a point only makes your entire statement dubious.
