I mean what could happen? Well I guess you can ask Siegfried & Roy.

No sir. Those evil killers are a different spicie. Pound sand.
That kind of assumption and talk indicates a mental derangement.
Similar to Trump Derangement Syndrome, where the victim has an hysterical, mindless reaction, to exposure to an idea which differs from their own.
We have a pitt retriever mix. She is the sweetest thing. Never met another anything or anyone she didn’t like. Smart too. When we got her she was a “black lab.” 3 years later it’s obvious she isn’t. Knowing what she is does leave me concerned. My kids are attached to her like family. (Teens.) We never take her anywhere she would encounter people or take her out without a leash. Ever. We never leave her around small children alone either. I am considering finding her a home in the country when we move back to the city in a few months. I’ll miss her and my quiet corner of nowhere.
spoken like a true muslim
Is that you, Chet?
Unlike your statements those charts are backed up with evidence. You can see a list of all the victims and how they were killed at the link.

We agree on Trump derangement by the democrat socialists. The rinos are now quiet and defeated. . Even the rino Newt caved today. Totally subservient.! I just think your dog is your character flaw.
AND WHO compiled the list..and number of victims?
Until that is proved its not scientific. Random victims does not make a scientific list.
What dog?
Here is another list for you. You can see the trend really pick up in the 90’s.

I am still waiting for your list. Lets have it ?
He doesn’t have one.
Like his dog, he’s all mouth and no brain.
Deep sarcasm there. No apologies. Like the recent muslim terrorist incident (here in the states) whose mom was saying “he was such a nice boy” “he was turning his life around,” “he dindu nuffin”, pit bull owners (and breeders) try and portray THEIR dogs as all virtue and gentle giant and cuddly and great with babies and “my dog dindu nuffin” is what they’ll say when their dog DOES do something.
Of the dozens of pit bull attacks where I’ve reassembled kids’ faces and little old ladies’ fingers and arms, what I have heard uniformly was to the tune of “our dog is SO gentle, I don’t know what set him/her off like that.”
Yeah, predator prey relations are so remote in our cultural memory they’re forgotten to our great detriment.
Trained killer dogs (from a LINE of dogs that were trained as killers going back to the friggin’ ROMANS at least) don’t belong around humans, esp. small or frail ones.
It’s like the US liberal media right after the advance units of islam hit us on 9/11, they actually asked “what did we do to make them hate us?”
In the case of dogs, any breeder will tell you four generations of selecting for a trait will give you that trait forever - again, when selected for and reinforced.
It’s why wild animals can never be truly tame.
Just as Sigfried and Roy learned - and many others.
I get stray dogs on my farm in TN occasionally, and pick ‘em off with a suppressed rifle at the earliest opportunity. NFW I’m going to risk myself, my pets, livestock, family or grandkids to some asshole’s inability to choose a pet wisely, train that pet, and keep that pet on voice command or a lead.
Shoot. Shovel. Shut up.
And not a bit of remorse. Don’t get me started on housecats.
“Not all pit bulls are vicious”
Until they are. No one can deny the amount of stories were pitbulls just turn vicious out of nowhere and it isn’t a situation where they’ve been neglected or abused.
“Pit bulls should be shot on sight.”
That wss the exact advice a California State Humane Officer when a neighbor’s estranged husband move into her house bringing a pit bull terrier (Stafford)) with him.
I sold my house and moved but learned later that this dog killed one dog in the neighborhood and chewed up another pretty badly. Last I heard the dog live out his life in their house.....in the time between when he moved in and I moved his dog attacked one of my German Shorthairs....
He called off his dog saying it was lucky he was around to call the dog off....
I said it was lucky for him because “ if his dog ever attacked one of my pointers again I’ll take it out AND then I was coming for him!”
“Let me tell you “ Redneck” These dogs ain’t fooling anybody. They are killing hundred of children and people a year!! Eaten alive! These dogs are EVIL. People that own them are wanting attention which they should get IN JAIL!!”
How many more gross and ignorant generalizations can you come up with? You haven’t started on Rottweilers yet. Critical thinking is beyond you.
“Spell this. I have never known a pit bull owner that wasn’t a failure economically. , hostile to society almost to a criminal level, Fat beyond description , real bad teeth from meth and tattoos. Have you?”
Yes. If you try really hard, you can find more generalizations to come up with.
That chart is not fatal attacks per dog. It is total attacks (I assume fatal). There are an estimated 4 million pit bulls in the US. Per your chart, 0.0071% of pit bulls caused casualties in the US over whatever period of years (12?) that chart is for. Put another way, one in 14,084.5 pit bulls caused fatal injury to a human over those 12(?) years. (The number is likely a bit higher due to multi-dog attacks, but I disallow that for purpose of discussion here and in the next paragraph because the 2nd or 3rd dog(s) in either case is most likely a pit bull, but could be ANY breed.)
Now, I could not find the St. Bernard population in the US, but, they are fairly rare. Taking a wild guess, if there are 40,000 St. Bernards in the US, and over the same years they killed 5 people, that’s one in 8000 St. Bernards causing a fatality over the same period. So, per “dog per capita”, St. Bernards would indeed be more dangerous. But they would not show up on your chart.
This actually makes sense — I’ve had to deal with unruly-but-not-vicious pit bulls that got onto our property, and while pits ARE powerful and formidable, a dog like an unruly St. Bernard is almost exponentially harder to deal with, countering the fact that they are generally good matured. IF you get a bad dog that size, you have a real problem (short of shooting it with a large caliber firearm.)
BTW, it would be interesting to compare numbers: I suspect humans turn out to be a lot more dangerous “per capita” than pit bulls.
I also suspect many people own pit bulls for protection and deterrence against crime, and the odds of one’s pit bull succeeding in that are much higher than the odds of their dog attacking someone for no good reason.
