Wow, I had not known that pit bulls were responsible for such a high number and percentage of attacks. I remember a few years ago, I visited the local animal shelter in L.A. 95% of the animals there were either pit bulls or chihuahuas. One lady was dropping off a pit bull when I was there, and the thing must’ve weighed close to 200 lbs, and its head looked to be the size of a cow’s. I was literally afraid to even be in the same building with that thing.
“I remember a few years ago, I visited the local animal shelter in L.A. 95% of the animals there were either pit bulls or chihuahuas.”
Same thing where I live: no shepherds, dalmations, pekinese, beagles — almost entirely pit bulls or pit bull mixes.
I wondered who was giving them up, and why... and pitied whoever adopted them next.
The numbers were a shock to me, too. As I read and re-read the way the author gathered the numbers, I came to the conclusion that he may be low in his estimates. This is one of the reasons I am posting these items.
