Why do PB's favor children?

Because children are young and like to go up and pat the 'cute doggy', or pull its tail, or poke its eyes, and the dog attacks, of course.

But.....but......pit bulls are dangerous killers and should be exterminated!! Isn't that what those knowledgeable people were saying in the other thread?

This does not surprise me. These dogs are loyal, loving members of a lucky family.

Guess we need to ban Machete's since no gun was used.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

As the pit bull population rises, more human fatalities ensue. During the last eight-year period (1991-98) that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studied fatal attacks by breed, pit bulls were estimated at 1 percent of the U.S. dog population. Pit bulls killed an average of three people per year.


Need I say more?

So your chance of dying due to a pit bull attack is 3 out of how many people in the US?

Its in the same catagory as massive bee sting attacks, Being killed by Orca's, or even being killed by a poodle being dropped out of a 10 story window.

The 374th American Struck Down by Pit Bulls
A Life Cut Short

Monday evening marked the 374th American mauled to death by a pit bull since we began the Fatal Pit Bull Attack Archival Record. The victim's name is Katherine Atkins and she was 25-years old. Katherine died alone outside as her boyfriend's two pit bulls horrifically mauled her to death. News reports said she had known the dogs since they were puppies and there was "no history of problems or aggression" with the dogs. The pit bulls unpredictably "attacked and killed."

Extensive Coverage

Last Friday, a 56-year old wheelchair-bound woman was killed by her pit bull in Baltimore. The dog had attacked the handicapped woman twice in the past. Her daughter described her injury from the first attack, as, "whenever my mom would open her mouth, her cheek would open with it." DogsBite.org is giving extensive coverage to this woman's preventable death to learn why city animal control officials returned this dog to her after the second attack.

So far this year, 25 Americans have lost their lives due to horrific dog attacks. Pit bulls are responsible for 21 (84%) of these deaths. This is a significant rise over the last 8-year combined average of 60%. DogsBite.org will continue this pledge campaign, Fatal Pit Bull Attacks Sharply Rise in 2013, through December 31, 2013. Please help us reach our goal of 500 pledges by the end of this year. I thank you for your continued support on this vital issue.

So do you have the balls to go around and put down these dogs yourself? I guess because some of them are bred and trained to attack the only obvious solution is to kill them all.

 

[Asclepias]

Ignorance kills. Its the same reason people are racist. The idea that pits are inherently predisposed to killing humans is about as ignorant as you can get. in fact the opposite is true. They are probably the least likely to attack humans because of how they were developed. You have to train them to purposely do it. Pits are dog aggressive not people aggressive. The breed was developed in the fighting ring where a total stranger had to be able to handle your dog and search it for poisons or anything else on its fur that might injure or cause the other dog to stop fighting.

Another thing people get confused about is the breed itself. Countless dogs that may be mixed with pit, boxer, mastiff, bull mastiff, American Bulldog etc are automatically labeled pit bulls due to the hysteria surrounding this breed. If it looks similar to a pit it must be one seems to be the mantra. Hopefully they start genetically testing the dogs that attack to determine the breed before calling them APBT's.

Pit bulls are too dangerous to be around children and should be banned in the U.S. ...

I trust my pit more than I would trust any human to watch over my family. My pit has proven he would pay the ultimate sacrifice to protect all my children.

IMO - just about the best guard dog is a trained German Pinscher.
Smaller, bust more muscular than a Doberman Pinscher, and has not had the aggression bred out like the Dobermain - they are an excellent choice. Like a Pit - they will die before they give up their protective role, however they seem to instinctively tell the difference between what is a threat - and what is just someone walking in their territory. And one of the most alert breeds you will encounter.
Great dogs. Love em'.

What makes you believe they are unattended? Wishful thinking? And even if so, do unattended children give up their right to life and safety because their babysitter wants an attack dog?

You are really dumb if you dont understand thats a large cause of most dog attacks.

Pit bulls are too dangerous to be around children and should be banned in the U.S. ...

I trust my pit more than I would trust any human to watch over my family. My pit has proven he would pay the ultimate sacrifice to protect all my children.

Sure, what about your neighbors children?

Tyler Jett, 7-years old - Killed by his neighbor's two pit bull-mix dogs

Why did the Pit part of the mix get the blame and not the other part?

Tyler Jett, 7-years old - Killed by his neighbor's two pit bull-mix dogs

Why did the Pit part of the mix get the blame and not the other part?

Because pit bulls are 1% of the dog population and account for 60-80% of the fatalities.

How much time have you spent studying dog behavior and pack mentality?
