Well, you're clearly not interested in talking civilly or doing actual research, but anyways- for anyone else reading along:

As someone who has worked in animal care and welfare for 20 years....

Pitbulls, rottweilers and German shepherds have some of the strongest jaws of all breeds. When they do bite, they do SERIOUS DAMAGE. Those bites are almost always reported and recorded, which is why the stats skew that way.

When the family golden, doodle, poodle, hound, Chihuahua, etc bite, it's usually much less severe, and is therefore often not reported at all. It's really hard to get a proper data set because there are lots of unreported bites out there (we often learn about them at our practice after the fact).

Additionally, pitbulls are one of the most abused breeds in the U.S.A. which means that a pitbull with a bad owner or history of abuse is more likely to lash out.

Anyways, I am happy to provide sources if anyone wants. Otherwise, I'm not super stoked about continuing this "debate" with an abusive and close-minded person. Hope y'all are having a great day, and give your furry babies a smooch from me!

Justify it however you want the stats are clear. Pitbulls kill WAY more than proportional amount of people. Only a shitty person would WANT to own a dog like that.

Boooooooooooooooooo. I love how you think that personality correlates with dog breed. My parents are the loveliest people I know & they own a pit (who is also the goodest of boys). It seems like you have a bone to pick & we aren’t getting the full story. Nonetheless, this was a post for a lost dog & it’s been found, huzzah! Go do something productive & worthwhile with your Tuesday, dude.

Why would anyone want to own the most aggressive and dangerous dog breed unless they are a douchebag? Im glad your parents dog hasn’t attacked anyone yet.

People also love to blame shit on their pitbulls... My next door neighbor for example who "got bit" by her pitbull... The crazy old hag stabbed the poor dog 24 times with kitchen shears "because it bit her". After we called animal control and sat with the poor pup until they showed up (it was incredibly docile btw for any dog that just got stabbed 20+ times) her "bite marks" were non-existent... She was just mad the dog got out of her broke ass fence for the second time that day but since her Dad was an ex-chief of police in the area nothing happened to her.
