The media uses “pit bull” in the same way they use “assault rifle”.

They are as reliable at dog breed identification as they are with firearms identification.

That may indeed be the case, but from the photos I've seen of the culprits, they look more like pit bulls than golden retrievers.

Read some of the first posts that began this thread. “The dog could have easily strangled itself”.. no worries. He died from bullets, not choking.

NSS! Your comprehension level leaves much to be desired.

Minimum $100,000 fine for every dog wrongfully shot by police. That would get their attention.

At breakneck pace we are becoming a police state.

There isn’t anything wrong with my comprehension. You stated that a dog could choke. This dog didn’t choke. Thus, stay on topic. The cops broke into the wrong apartment, destroyed an innocent man’s property and shot his dog. Any other detail like the breed of dog, if she was wearing a collar or a chain, if she had been bathed recently etc.. is moot. Again... have a nice day, skippy.

How do you fine a dog?

Minimum $100,000 fine for every dog owner whose dog wrongfully attacks a person.

Do you know the definition of "could"? I didn't state that this particular dog did choke. There is plenty lacking in your comprehension.

Labradors have been misidentified as "pitbulls" by the ignorant.

(Personally, I find dobermans to be a mite suspicious. )

Labs have distinctively different facial, hind quarter and chest configurations.

I don’t care if the man had a man-eating Bengal Tiger tied up in his kitchen. The cops busted into the wrong house and murdered this poor man’s pet. Your reply is not Conservative. It is indicative of a freedom-hating liberal. I hope you typed this distasteful post as a joke.

Anyone that doesn't know the difference between a mastiff and a pit bull is just plain ignorant and has decided to remain so.

Lots of ignorant folks in the world and a good number of them work for the media.

I reported the actual types of the dogs to dogsbite.org,
at that time I thought they valued honest reporting of facts.

They refused to amend their report
and to this day still assert 2 “pitbulls” were involved in the attack.

They are liars and their data is not to be trusted.

When I was growing up in the sixties, dogs used to run free and pit bulls were just another dog running around. We were cautious of doberman pinchers, because they were considered to be high strung, prone to bite when they got nervous.

If you abuse or train a dog to act violently, it will be violent. I believe that since dogs we don't let them run free, they don't learn how to deal with strangers. Having said that, if a dog bit a person twice without provocation, they were usually killed. And if a dog was caught chasing livestock, they were shot immediately.

But if we were bit, the first thing an adult would ask- "what did you do?"
