Feel Burger has researched the subject pretty extensively. And yes there are more fatalities and hospital reported bites with Pit's than any other breed. There are probably more Pit Bull's owned though also....possibly skewing the data somewhat.

Actually, Fins you should read more.

Feel Burger also stated that the severity of the attack is why the reports are so dangerous. Think how many toy dogs do bite and attack. But who even cares?

Feel Burger said "that much" more. See the clarifying statement in my sentence?

Lots of insurance companies wont write a pit owner. So the owners lie about owning one. Until they are caught.

Actually, the stats prove they do attack more.

Feel Burger knows his Pit is nervous around new people and seriously dog aggressive. The problem with Pit Bulls isn't that they attack much more than other dogs. But when they do. They seriously do.

Several studies also found that pit owners are as much as ten times more likely to have criminal convictions than low risk breed owners

You better stop getting your info from pit bull propaganda sites. Your claim is a flat out lie because multiple studies by the AVMA have proven differently

Fins where are you at? According to the American Veterinary Medicine Association, "controlled studies have not identified this breed group as disproportionately dangerous." The American Temperance Testing Society (ATTS) puts thousands of dogs � purebreds and spayed and neutered mixed-breeds � through their paces each year. The dogs are tested for skittishness, aggression and their ability to differentiate between threatening and non-threatening humans. Among all of the breeds ATTS tested � over 30,000 dogs through May 2011 � 83 percent passed the test. How did pit bulls do? They showed an above average temperament, with 86 percent making the grade. Pit bulls are the second most tolerant breed tested by ATTS, after only golden retreivers. Maybe you should check your dates and mine. (stupid.)

Yeah !!!

What?

Several studies determined that pit bull owners, and owners of other "vicious" or "high risk" breeds (most commonly identified as Akita, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, Rottweiler, and Wolf-mix), are more likely to have criminal convictions and are more likely to display antisocial behaviors.

Stop BSL.... (breed specific legislation )!!

Here is a good fact

Several studies determined that pit bull owners, and owners of other "vicious" or "high risk" breeds (most commonly identified as Akita, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, Rottweiler, and Wolf-mix), are more likely to have criminal convictions and are more likely to display antisocial behaviors.

Can you understand that? The American veterinary association said that dog attacks are a breed specific problem. Do you know what that means?

A 20-year (1979-1998) study by the American Veterinary Medical Association into fatal dog attacks on humans[27] concluded that "fatal attacks on humans appear to be a breed-specific problem (pit bull-type dogs and Rottweilers)," and that "pit bull-type dogs and Rottweilers were involved in more than half" (67%) of all the 238 recorded dog bite-related fatalities (DBRF) in the United States during that period, with pit bulls accounting for 66 deaths. They also wrote that:

"It is extremely unlikely that they accounted for anywhere near 60% of dogs in the United States during that same period and, thus, there appears to be a breed-specific problem with fatalities."[27]

A 1991 study found that 94% of attacks on children by pit bulls were unprovoked, compared to 43% for other breeds.

Since herding is out and guard-dogging is out, I'm still wanting to know all these farm activities the lil pitties were trained for...

Fins you must be slipping. Must be to much time in ashe.Can you read??(Stupid).Pit bulls are among dozens of strong, muscular breeds of canine. All are capable of doing damage to humans if they're not properly socialized and supervised. Most dogs do not, even when they've been neglected or abused. None are inherently monstrous � they are all just dogs. And we know what makes dogs of any breed more likely to be aggressive.Fins you must be slipping to much time in ashe.
