If it were owners wouldn't the statistics for dog attacks be more evenly distributed across the breeds? If it were the owners, wouldn't municipalities that banned pitbulls not see such a dramatic decrease in the number of attacks, but rather a shifting of attacks committed by other breeds as the supposedly lovely dog owners just bought different breeds?

I’m sorry that you suck at reading statistics this badly OP

my neighbors have a half pit who is a lovable doofus. In fact, most pits aren't murder dogs, so I kind of understand the pit defenders. It's just that they're 1000x more likely to be murder dogs than any other breed so really they should all be euthanized and/or forcably neutered

FYI Pitbulls only gained their "reputation" as being "cruel, stupid beasts" when they became popular with black people.

No, I'm pretty sure they got that reputation because they keep eating children. Read the news stories I've collected for this thread. Pitbull owners come in a variety of races and income levels, the only thing connecting them is their nightmare dogs.

The problem with pits and similar breeds is not that they're more likely to flip out and attack people... all breeds have that possibility, they're fuckin dogs ffs. No amount of training or loving family environment will ever remove that possibility. They're dogs, not humans.

The problem with those breeds is that when they DO flip out and attack people, they're much more likely to maim and/or kill than less powerful breeds. Statistics bear this out.

They are too dangerous to own. Like especially dangerous weapons and substances, people should not own them. Period.

However! The dogs currently owned should not simply be murdered. They didn't choose their life, they shouldn't suffer for other people's horribly poor life decisions. Just make it illegal to breed, buy, or sell them. The current generation can live out their lives. Yes, there will still be maulings, but they will diminish over time as they die out naturally.

were they killed by the pitbull attack, or did they die of something else while the pitbull attack was happening

maybe pitbulls are just that much more common than other breeds

First they came for the pitbulls, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a pitbull.

Then they came for the german shepards, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a german shepard.

Then they came for the poodles, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a poodle.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Two of the nicest, most committed socialists I know own three big doofus pitbulls and I love them all very much, but they did have an incident where they dragged to the ground two of the smaller women in our walking group to go after another dog they saw. Fortunately no one else was hurt, but if one of them had injured the dog they probably would have had to be put down.

Well that's my pitbull story, they are a land of contrasts, send poste

Unfixed male dogs are 50 times more likely to be involved in a fatal attack than neutered ones. Make neutering mandatory for pitbulls, and let the breed peacefully fade away.
