It's time we ban pitbulls
Enough is enough. These dogs are way too strong & unpredictable. Plus, they are normally owned by the wrong people. Deadly combo right there.
This latest pitbull attack is absolutely heartbreaking. A 14-month-old Wisconsin boy has died after a brutal attack by a pair of pit bulls, authorities said on Thursday. Police received a call from Susan Iwicki, 30, on Wednesday saying that she and the young boy were being attacked by the dogs, according to local NBC affiliate WMTV. Iwicki told police that she and the boy had each sustained injuries. The boy died of his injuries at a Milwaukee area hospital later on Wednesday, the Walworth County sheriff’s office said, according to The Associated Press. The boy had the “biggest eyes, great smile,” family friend Valerie Brylow told local affiliate WTMJ. “He was a great little boy.” “He is adorable, absolutely adorable,” Nicole Jennison, another family friend told the station. The boy’s name has not been released, and an investigation continues. Both of the pit bulls were removed from the property and euthanized on Wednesday, WMTV reported. The fatal dog attack was the first in Wisconsin in a decade, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013...lling-him?lite |

Clearly this is all just a massive conspiracy by the media. Those poor little pit bulls would never hurt a fly. Ask anyone.
Well, you probably don't want to ask this guy:
Spoiler!
Or this little girl:
Spoiler!
Or this person (I think it used to be a woman):
Spoiler!
This guy survived the attack, but I'm guessing he's not overly fond of pit bulls these days:
Spoiler!
I put spoiler tags around the images. It just seemed like bad taste not to do so. |

Pit Bulls make up 3.3% of the dog population. Between 60% and 70% of dog bite fatalities are caused by Pit Bulls. The statistics speak for themselves. However, your point about Rotweillers is valid. From the same 30-year study: Quote:

That's a gruesome statistic that you can't apply to any other breed of dog. |

get me a "study" of the race of pit bull owners who have had at least 1 human attack. I would like to know their annual income and if they paid pet license bills etc...

In the final analysis it doesn't really matter if pit bulls were "bred to kill" or not. The only relevant statistic is the number of dog-bite deaths caused by the breed. When 3% of a population account for 60-70% of whatever you're measuring, it's relevant.

First, press reports are rarely ever corrected if they are small blurbs which most dog attacks are. Second, there is a huge selection bias. Media hypes and disproportionately reports on attacks by pitbulls or pitbull type dogs. Cling to psuedo-science if you want, but that study is in no way accurate due to being solely based on news reports. If it was news reports crossed with police reports and other verification it would be robust. It's not. |
