Pit Bulls monster or media stereotyped

Lost interest no I was actually being considerate towards you since you forfeited one round. Numbers are just that numbers. This is from your own source. Annual data also shows that males were more often victims, 61% (23), than females. The majority of male victims, 61% (14), were ages 8-years and younger. Of the total female victims, only 33% (5) fell into this same age group. Your own source clearly states most "victims" are under the age of 8. Now on to the your statement "You are still more likely to be attacked by a Pit than any other animal." If this is true then why is it that according to historylist that death by dog attack ranks second. Unless I'm miscounting completely the annual death rate is quite a bit lower than that of a bee or wasp. And while they may be counted in some minds as a bug rather than animal they are listed in this study as animals. Average Number of Deaths per Year in the U.S Bee/Wasp 53 Dogs 31 Spider 6.5 Rattlesnake 5.5 Mountain lion 1 Shark 1 Alligator 0.3 Bear 0.5 Scorpion 0.5 Centipede 0.5 Elephant 0.25 Wolf 0.1 Horse 20 Bull 3 http://forums.sherdog.com... on the list on sherdog dogs aren't even on the top ten. So lets rehash this yes, pits have a bad history. Yes, they are in the news more for attacks than bravery. But with you last statement goes against what a lot of people are fighting for. People are fighting for rights for animals. How many of your cases came from bad homes. Do you know if those attacks were initiated by the human or did the dog plan ahead to kill? Other dog populations (United States): (estimation) Pit Bulls: 5,256,000 (estimation) Rottweilers: 900,000 (estimation) German Shepherds: 780,000 (estimation) Chows: 240,000 Fatal attacks by these breeds of dogs (1979-1998): Pit Bulls: 66 Rottweilers: 39 German Shepherds: 17 Chows: 8 When we divide the population by the fatal attacks, we can get a percentage based on the dogs probability of fatally attacking a human. Pit Bulls: .00125 % Rottweilers: .00433 % German Shepherds: .00217% Chow: .00333% WELL, it would seem the Pit Bull is at the bottom of the list. 4 times as many Rottweilers, 2 times as many German Shepherds, and 3 times as many Chows are involved in Fatal Attacks based on the population percentage. It is only logical that if there are more Pit Bulls there would be more attacks. http://defendpitbulls.com... You seem to like numbers well what do those numbers add up to? http://animalcrueltyy.weebly.com... Animals feel pain and fear like we do, but they are helpless victims. Abuse causes these innocent animals to endure so much pain, suffering, and loneliness, it can also cause an animal to become depressed, timid, or even aggressive. A breed of a dog is like ethnicity in humans. Can you say that every Muslim is going to be a terrorist because when you think of dogs that's what Pit Bulls would equal to. http://heavenawaits.wordpress.com... So lets recap: Pit bulls test high in temperament studies They have high protective instincts Children who are old enough to know how to treat a dog can be around them For every pit that kills there are 3 that saved a life Pits need a proper family "no small children" History does not a being make They have more attacks because there are more pits than most other breeds
