Are you aware that when a Chicago-based pit rescue group examined dog attack stories in the media, they found 60 cases where other breeds (including breeds not remotely similar to pits, such as a couple of Labs) had been identified as pit bulls?
I was wondering how the dogs that ran off were positively identified as Pits. At night in the middle of melee there was a dog expert around to determine they were Pits....
Would this be a headline if they were bulldogs or mastifs?
The thing is pitbulls were bred to fight and years of improper breeding and abuse have made them violent towards humans.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Could have been just about any breed of dog. Dogs are domesticated wolves. If you let them run loose in a pack, they will sometimes stalk and kill prey.

Thats happened in a incredibly large number of media reports over the past three decades, which is why I don’t accept the so called ‘statistics’ on ‘pit bull attacks’.
Its become as bad as the media confusing a semi automatic pistol with a Uzi....calling it ‘full auto’.
