Could you please provide those stats? Skimming thru the Wikipedia article on pit bulls, it seems there’s no clear evidence that pit bulls are significantly more dangerous that other dog breeds of similar size.

LMFAO, alright reading this thread again… the person gave up talking to you because you cited sources. And here I was about to dig through my reddit posts to grab my copy-pasta… They won’t respond to you, so I assume they wont to me… So no point in putting the work in if they’re arguing in such bad faith.

Thanks for the logical and well-sourced post!

I am surprised the first response I got was not an attack. The pro pit propaganda runs hard and encouraged pretty rabbid harassment. I don’t blame people that don’t know for defending pits. It’s the ones that argue in bad faith and ignore obvious data that are the problem. There’s a reason why pits, and only pits, need to be defended so aggressively. All it takes is just googling reports of actual dog attacks to see almost all of the reports involved a pit or pit mix. Hell all you have to do is Google pictures of pitbulls vs porcupines and then compare those to literally any other dog breed vs porcupines. Normal dogs take a hit and get deterred out of their natural survival and pain avoidance instincts. Pits just maul them harder till they all but kill themselves. That’s what happens when you breed some poor animal to fight to the death against other animals. It’s tragic what we have bred into these dogs and even more tragic that instead of taking responsibility for it and at least attempting to breed it out and/or restrict breeding, we double down and make more and more lies about them that get innocent people maimed and killed. Then when people try to point all this out they get harassed to no end.

Don’t use Wikipedia as your source, that’s rule number one. Look at the cdc
