You guys are really fucking stupid and are prejudice and clueless to the truth. I have a red nose pitbull who is the most affectionate, loving dog in the world. She listens to my commands, plays with children, has never even opened its mouth to somebody and just enjoys the attention of any human being that she sees. These abused dogs who attack people are just that; abused, untrained, and neglected dogs. Put any dog in that type of situation and I guarentee it attacks, pitbulls are just more publicized because they are stronger of most of the dogs
(German Shepards I believe are actaully #1 in attacks in the country that result in serious injury/death)
A study done by the CDC says otherwise.
Results?During 1997 and 1998, at least 27 people
died of dog bite attacks (18 in 1997 and 9 in 1998). At
least 25 breeds of dogs have been involved in 238
human DBRF during the past 20 years.
Pit bull-type
dogs and Rottweilers were involved in more than half of
these deaths. Of 227 reports with relevant data, 55
(24%) human deaths involved unrestrained dogs off
their owners? property, 133 (58%) involved unrestrained
dogs on their owners? property, 38 (17%) involved
restrained dogs on their owners? property, and 1 (< 1%)
involved a restrained dog off its owner?s property.
I'll agree that you can train a pit to be a good dog. The problem is that people don't. I keep on saying it, if you own any aggressive breed (GSD, Pit, Rottweiler, Akita, etc.) you should have to have to pass a training course of some sort; the same as Drivers Ed or gun safety courses you have to take in order to be licensed for a car or gun. Don't ban the dog, ban the idiot owner.
