Pit Bulls

[TheSanityAnnex]

But that doesn't change the fact that the majority of dog attacks are at the hands of pit bulls and there is no way for you to prove that any number of those are cases of mistaken iden y.

Last I checked, the majority of reported bites/attacks were by German Sheperds. Where are you getting your information from? I've been providing links and facts, you've been throwing out opinions and hearsay.

You also claimed that in places where pits are banned, there was no change in the amount of bites. Yet you have failed to provide evidence of this.

I said, when I come across the article again, I'll post a link. All the anti-Pit people here got me wound up and I was searching the net like a mad man. I should have posted it right when I saw it, now it will be another search to find it.

Even if half of the pit bull attacks were misidentified, they still are the leading culprit and by far pose a larger percentage of attacks than they should. And well, I REALLY doubt that half of the attacks are misidenitified.

You'd be surprised at the number of misidentified attacks/bites. Here is all I could find that broke it down by breeds. Pitbulls were leading, but some of the breeds were surprising, such as the Labrador Retriever. Take in to account that the Pit Bull is one of the most owned dogs in the Nation, and the numbers aren't that staggering. Were also not talking about misidentified here either, just reported.

There is an estimated 52 million dogs in the United States and the American Pit Bull Terrier takes up 9.6 percent of the dog population and that does not count unregistered ones. Roughly 5 million Pit Bulls in the U.S. Out of 5 million owned, it appears around 227 are reported per year for biting people. I'd like to get the information as to how many Labradors exist in the U.S. and get a comparable statistic.

[TheSanityAnnex]

It doesn't change the fact that half of all dog attacks to humans are caused by pits.

You were only off by a whopping 28% in your little claim.

[Clandestino]

labs are the most owned dog in the u.s. according to the news last night. it was based on registered dogs with akc.

[lebomb]

What is it some of you stupid asses do NOT understand. All dogs will bite, some will attack, but a PitBull is ALWAYS the one that kills!!!

, how much more clearly does this need to be spelled out. Quit defending this in psycho breed of dog.

[Spurfect]

You people are STILL arguing about this?
face it, everyone has a different opinion on the subject, and NO ONE is going to change anyone's mind
I think you all should just agree to disagree on this one

[lebomb]

Leave now. Go kill yourself because stupid don't do well in society, and you are beyond stupid.

Shut your punk ass up.....you are the person who would be on TV trying to explain why your stupid ass pitbull killed the neighbor and his kid. Dumb s.......care more about a dog than a human life.

Let a Pit come in my yard........Id put .40cal hollow points in his ass, then Id do the owner of that .

Wow, all for just coming in your yard. You're ed up dude.

[johnsmith]

Is that what we are talking about, or is that what YOU are talking about because it skews the stats a little more in your favor? Pit Bull mix probably means just like what it sounds- a mix of a pb and some other dog. I am not using this incident as proof of anything, just saying its funny that a dog that is partial pit bull ended up mauling a man today here in SA.

Like "Ha Ha funny"?

[SpursWoman]

I know any animal is dangerous when it's freaked out or hurt, but this happened Friday before last. Very tragic accident.

[CavsSuperFan]

Spurs Woman....I agree all animals can be dangerous...I have a Golden Retriever Puppy...She constantly wants to play....If I am watching TV she will jump on the sofa & lick my face...She tugs at my slippers for attention...She cries if I am in my bedroom & the door is closed...But I know better...It is all just an act....One day when I least expect it the Golden Fluffy Fur Ball has the potential to bite & maul me....I can just see it coming...

We used to have a miniature Jack Russell Terrier that was really harmless ... until he got hit by a car and we tried to pick him up off the street to take him to the vet. A few pretty nasty bites and a completely rebuilt hip later, he was fine. Except for the fact that after the accident, if you woke him up, messed with him when he was comfortable, or got near his food while he was eating, he'd bite and/or attack. He'd lost it.

Cujo wasn't a Pit Bull.

[johnsmith]

Cujo wasn't a Pit Bull.

Good point.


The evil dog from the Omen wasn't a Pit either.


Now what do you Pit bashers have to say?

[johnsmith]

And what about the dog from The Lost Boys...........While this was a good version of an attack dog, the dog still did go after the Vampires throats.


Vampires are people too.

Holy that same thing happend to my Mr.Big.
He ws a rat terrier, and got hit by a truck. Rebuilt hip, 4 surgeries and 4 motnhs healing..... he totally changed.
You couldn't come from behind him, touch him without announcing yourself, etc etc. And oyu could not disturb him wile he was sleeping - he would go OFF!

[lebomb]

I doubt you even know how to fire a gun let alone how to identify a pit. You're ing stupid.

Feel free to break into my house at 3am........they you will know first hand.

You are stupid to protect an animal over a human.....oh , I forgot....you are an inbreed animal too.

[johnsmith]

Well, at least you've managed to ruin all of your credibility in regards to this whole Pit Bull argument thing.

[Clandestino]

Sorry I don't roll in da hood.

Why don't you post a picture of yourself holding the gun so I can see what I'm up against, then we can all have a good laugh. Then we can meet and I'll skull you while you tickle your anus with those penis compensating hollow points.

the word JOTO comes to mind...

[SpursWoman]

Can't say that I know what JOTO is.

[Clandestino]

Can't say that I know what JOTO is.

joto means you seeing as how you'd like lebomb to play with his culo while giving you head...

btw, thanks for confirming that pitt owners are pretty ed up...

[TheSanityAnnex]

I must be ed up since I had my dog taken and made into a certified therapy dog. What an asshole I am. All those days she brought joy to underprivileged kids lives will surely land me in .
