Dogsbitedotorg deliberately publishes false data and will not correct it when shown the facts.
I’d suggest looking at the http://www.nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/
if you are interested in facts and not propaganda.
Look I get it, you’re a fanatical self-righteous hater of ‘pit bulls’
and you enjoy the sense of moral superiority it gives to you.
However did your dear Mother manage to survive owning not one but two of these devil dogs?
Given what you ‘know’ about these dogs wouldn’t the responsible thing to do
have been to remove the possible danger they presented to your mother?
Ripping my face off for it???
You’re sounding like the type of person that would own a pit bull.

Be that as it may, I feel some sadness that you are behaving this way.
I’ve been aware of you as a poster at FR for some time now
and I’ve always been glad you were a FReeper and valued your contribution.
I would have thought you, perhaps more than others,
would be cognizant of the dangers of arguing from the specific to the general.
Your type of response is closely akin to the hatred, bigotry
and generalizing that some folks use to target a particular racial group.
I’ll leave the last word to you unless there is a question you’d like to ask
and I hope we meet again in the future as comrades in the fight for Freedom.
Just to set the record straight I AM NOT an apologist for any breed or type of dog.
I am an advocate for Responsible Dog Ownership,
the principles of which are not breed specific, while their application may be.
Disbelieve the facts and statistics if you want.
Any observant, reasonably informed person, has seen enough reports about these animals over the years to have a well informed opinion about the breed. Many people even have direct firsthand experience that comports with what they’ve read and heard.
The data’s out there, and it’s undeniable. The pit bull terrier is not just another breed of dog. Its an exotic animal with an inbred temperament that makes it unsuitable and dangerous for normal pet ownership.
In my opinion, ownership of these animals should be highly regulated. I’m talking licensing and secure facility requirements for owners. I would actually support an outright ban, if such were ever proposed.
That’s where I stand. I’m not even debating this with you. You want the last word, be my guest, but I’ve seen enough, and won’t be changing my mind on the subject.
