“Read that as over 3/4 of all deaths by dog in the USA were via the pit bull model. Just wow. You just have to be ignorant to ignore that.”
True, but not the whole story. Who owned those dogs? Were they trained for illegal fighting? Were they treated badly on purpose to make them mean watch dogs?
It’s not the breed. It’s what has been done TO them by sub-humans. Most Pit Bulls live in loving homes with families and never bite anyone.
On the program “Animal Cops NY” they adopted out rescued Pit Bull after Pit Bull. Some could not be adopted as they had been fighting dogs. The vast majority were just in need of rescue. They made fine pets for many families.
It’s NOT the dog breed, it’s the HUMAN breed that makes them that way.
If they trained and fought Poodles instead of Pit Bulls, you would have the same results and you would all be about banning Poodles.
You need both the bad breed and the bad owner to get a real killer dog.
Bad Breed: Pit Bull.
Bad Owner: Angry, stupid person.
Put them together and you may get a child scarred for life by a dog attack.

:-) You really believe that? These pit bull threads provide interesting insights into how some people think.
