That was my initial question. Whether or not the media misrepresents them. But according to those numbers, they may hype the attacks more but Pit Bulls do account for a HUGE percentage of the attacks.
What is your point? Any pure breed will have a greater chance of having less-desirable genes passed on to its offspring. That is a fact.

one human life >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pitbulls
You know I don't really care why pit bull attacks are disporportionately larger than any other breed of dog, and or result in more serious injuries, all I care about is the children who are killed by them.
If we can I think we should ban them just like Denver did.
And yes, as mentioned they never do attack their owners, which is the most ed up part, it's always some child that gets killed or mamed...
brad pitt started fight club. coincidence?
You're an idiot, coincidence?
love the fair treatment fillmoe, keep it consistant with the others plzi was just preaching the choir young son.
you still pissed at me for not noticing your new figure dollface?
A true bred pit bull was bred to fight other dogs, while being so gentle with people that a complete stranger could come in and tend to its wounds while in the ring. Pure bred fighting pit bulls would not bite people, and the few that did were put down. Aggressive pit bulls today are the result of owners that train them to be mean tough guard dogs, or chain them up in the backyard without social interaction with other people. If raised right, pit bulls are great pets. An original fighting pit bull was actually a terrible guard dog because they aren't people aggressive.
Almost off topic, about five years ago, my sister-in-law was attacked viciously by the bull mastiff she and my brother owned. It was completely unprovoked and the dog savagely attacked her to the point she need plastic surgery to re-build her ear, and she underwent many surgeries on her head repairing her scalp.
They had bought the dog a couple months prior. She came home from lunch that day to feed the dog. She went in the back yard and yelled for the dog to come in to eat. She approached the dog who was jumping around by the fence. She had the dog's metal dish in her hand (fortunately). The dog full on attacked her head, she fell to the ground on her side and tried covering the side of her head while she fended off the dog by hitting it with the dish. Though it didn't stop him, it probably slowed him down from killing her. He was relentless, she was screaming at the top of her lungs and a neighbor heard and called the police.
When the police arrived, they jumped the back fence and at this point she was still being attacked, lying in a pool of blood, barely conscious and still hitting the dog. The police used a stun gun several times and eventually the dog got off her. (They would have shot it if she wasn't in danger).
She underwent 7 hours of surgery that day to repair her scalp, she had a broken arm and other injuries.
My brother obviously put the dog to sleep - it almost killed his wife. He paid for an autospy to see if the dog had brain damage or something to find out why it went nuts. Nothing physical was wrong.
He called the guy who sold it to him - the guy insisted the dog had never been violent. My brother refused to believe that and did a lot of research and found out the dog had been sent by the guy who sold it to him to an attack school.
Sorry for the long story but this story is something that really rattles me. When my sister called to tell me, I was so freaked out.
Anyway, that had nothing to do with Pit Bulls.
My Aunt just had her wienie dog mauled by three pit bulls in Mission. She has now started a pe ion to have them banned in the city.
I personally own a bullmastiff, and they are some of the most loving family pets you will ever see. Of course, mine wasn't sent to some kind of attack training. They say bullmastiffs are so naturally protective of family that they don't need guard training and this is actually bad for them and can make them too aggressive since they already have natural guarding instincts. This kind of stuff is why I like to raise my dogs from puppies. Sorry to hear about that, the guy must have been a complete moron with know knowledge of the breed to send it to an "attack school." Dogs are just like people, they act the way they are brought up.
Even more of a moron for not telling my brother about it before he sold it to him.. or even when my brother repeatedly asked him when his wife was in the hospital. Complete idiot.Sorry to hear about that, the guy must have been a complete moron with know knowledge of the breed to send it to an "attack school."

bull mastiffs are the laziest damn dogs ever.... my cousins has about 2 of them.... and they are some lazy bas s
Bingo.
And this is what people fail to understand. Pitbulls are naturally aggressive towards other dogs, NOT HUMANS. Aggression towards humans is trained.
They are definitely misrepresented by the media. The ONLY attacks that are ever shown are those of pitbulls. I can't recall seeing any news broadcasts of a Labrador attack, yet they do happen. For s and giggles, google uninsurable dogs. You will be surprised.
raisin and breeding will not stop a pitbull from attackin a person..........they are killin animals....
I will not post in this thread until i see whottt's take
who gives a about "it's not the dog, etc"
all you have to see if pitts kill more humans than other dogs and that should be enough to ban them. you sound like the ers who defend rapists and pedophiles. "it is not his fault, he had a bad childhood"
In L.A,...Pit Bulls are on “All-States Homeowners banned list”...(For over a decade)....If you own a pit bull & it bites somebody in your own yard...All-State will not pay a dime when you are sued... Chows, Akita's, Rottweiler’s and German Sheppard’s have recently been added to this list...
I have never heard a story about a Golden Retriever or Yellow Lab mauling a child...
Oh, man ...
My ex-husband brought home a pit-bull puppy, and even when she was brand-spanking new that dog hated me. As soon as I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, that dog was gone.
Flash forward a few years when my son was hospitalized when he was 6 months old. There was another little boy about 2 years old in the pediatric ICU with him that had been torn to shreds by a pitbull. It was one of the most horrible things I've ever seen.
every time we bring up this topic on another board that I frequent, it turns into an argument because it hits a sore spot for the pit bull owners that post there.
BUT I will always stick to my beliefs that it's NOT about how they are raised. Of course, the ones that are raised to be protectors/fighters/killers are of course going to be attack dogs, BUT, even the ones that are raised by a nice family, domesticated, etc.. in other words, even if the dog is just the "sweetest thing" ever... that dog can turn to.
I have heard sooo many stories about it, in fact I was close to one in Houston, about pits being so sweet and loving and "would never do that", but they just SNAP and turn on either their owner or someone else. the Owners are always so shocked that their dogs attack. Pits just have that instict and they can just turn at any time, they are very unpredictable dogs and in MY opinion they are pretty dangerous to own especially around kids.
If I trained my pug/beagle mix poorly, she'd chew on stuff and in the house.
I don't trust all pit bull owners to be good at dog training. Or building fences for that matter.
