Originally posted by tradtiger View PostI'm sure there are many nice pit bulls kept without incident by responsible owners.
CDC records on fatal dog-bite incidents between 1979 and 1996 list the breed of "pit bulls" as responsible for 60 deaths -- double the next breed, Rottweilers, with 29, while German Shepherds killed 19 over that timeframe.
Draw your own conclusions.
The numbers are worse than that now. Pittbulls make up only 9% of dogs owned, but kill more humans than all others combined. They kill other pets more than all others combined. They maul humans more than all other breeds combined. This year alone, there have been over 20 fatalities caused by "pittbull type" dogs, meaning that some were pittbull mixed dogs.
Again,owners get emotional and defensive about them. I guess they have to, because there is no logical argument when looking at the facts. There are dozens of breeds that are more compatible as pets, with better statistics.

Owning a useless dog is not protected by the constitution like owning a gun is.

Just the same as an ar-15. I own one, because guess what I can. You can't dance around the fact that y'all are using the same argument as liberal when it comes down to this subject.
If you want to own a pit, have at it. Just be a responsible owner. That way, if anyone gets harmed, it will only be you.

So you should be treated the same way you would if you killed someone with your AR15 if your dog kills someone? You can’t have it both ways.

No, because unlike liberals blaming all murders on assault rifles, I have numbers to prove that's a lie. In the case of pittbulls killing humans more than all other breeds, I have facts to back that up. Liberals don't deal in facts. They deal in emotional illogical responses. Like many pittbull owners do.Last edited by Lostacresranch; 12-27-2017, 05:12 PM.
