Animal nature can trigger a self defense reaction. The problem with pit bulls is that they have more power to react with.
You're right about the dog's self defense, but think about it this way. Maybe it's the kids who don't know how to act around/treat the dogs they encounter. Maybe their parents should teach them to respect the dogs. You can't always blame the dog when you've got kids trying to ride around on them or pulling their tails and whatnot.
