Yes we’ll it could but one breed is responsible for the most deaths we’ll not being a small percentage of all dogs. So no statistically it happens with pitbulls.
https://worldanimalfoundation.org/advocate/dog-bite-statistics/
2 notable excerpts:
- Pitbulls are responsible for 66.9% (380) of these deaths.
- As per Colorado Injury Law, although Pitbulls and Rottweilers make up only 6% of dogs in the US, they’re responsible for 77% of all dog bites.
It’s almost like people who love these dogs are anti-science and facts! I have a friend who loves these breeds. Guess what, he owns guns and is anti-vaxx. Surprise surprise.
Listen, I get it. Any dog can snap, even my 22lb Chihuahua/ Dachshund/treeing coonhound mix.
She decided out of the blue that my wife was a threat for sitting on the edge of the bed and it resulted in a trip to the emergency room.
But the thing is, Bean here is 22lbs and after the initial, WHAT THE FUCK moment, I could grab her and secure her in a crate.
You’re not doing that with 70-80 lbs of pure muscle.
Lots of dogs can pose a bite risk but pit bulls pose a rather unique mauling risk. It’s not just a bite but a frenzied attack that doesn’t stop until someone is dead. This is what the dogs were bred for and it’s what we get almost uniquely from the breed.
It’s not just because they’d big and strong… lots of breeds and big and could kill if they attacked relentlessly, but even when agitated and angry it almost never happens, except for pit bulls. They pose a unique risk for viscous attacks.
Ask them, in a hypothetical situation where every breed is banned except chihuahuas, would there be more / less / equal amount of kids being mauled?
If breed didn’t matter, there would be equal amounts. But you can’t say that in good faith.
Were these pitbulls adopted or raised from pups??
Ive never met a violent pitbull myself and in all cases the owber had them from pup rather than a rescue dog
Lets see some statistics of pitbulls bites when raised from pups vs adopted/rescued
Please show me the stats on Labs snapping on kids.
And please remove “kissing attacks” from your data. I’ll wait.
I grew up around the corner from a guy who had a viscious black lab, my neighbour had to take a baseball bat to school because of it, and he even hit it in the head at one point. Any animal can be vicious. Its just pitbulls have large strong mouths. Thats why they are trained to be violent, and because of this fact stats are skewed.
Now show me a statistic of bites from pitbulls when raised fron pups vs adopted
Any breed? My chihuahuas and Maltese are shaking their heads NO.
My shihtzu calls bullshit.
That’s a bullshitzu!
Hope it was worth it. Lost your kids and maybe your wife. For what.
I wouldn’t be able to go on.
