Like the horse that just fell on and killed a 12 year old at a local show?
Ban horses.
Christopher Reeves would agree.
Or the bulls and hogs that maim and kill farm folks every year?
Ban meat animals.
Screw it.
People are killed by some kind of animal every day in this country.
Let’s just kill them all.
Hippos kill 300+ people a year and there are only a few thousand of them in the whole world.
Ban hippos.
You’re ridiculous and hysterical.
You cite freak accidents (horse falls on kid) and compare them with a dog breed that kills a disproportionate number of people - on average 1 every 22 days - compared with all other dog breeds. Do horses break free of their restraints as often as pits do - and go on a killing rampage? Are police summoned to shoot rampaging horses spontaneously mauling and killing people who are minding their own business as often as they are called to kill attacking pits? How about hogs and bulls? Are they frequently seen in packs roaming neighborhoods and spontaneously attacking and killing people at the pit rate? Do people insist on keeping horses, bulls, hippos, and hogs in residential homes and then panic when these animals suddenly turn on their family members?
Oh yes - exotic animals like hippos - lots of those running lose in the streets of the US killing 1 person every 22 days, requiring police shootings more than other breeds etc.
You can’t refute the truth about pits without reaching for freak accidents or exotic animals because pit aggression is freakish and more typical of exotic animals. You know it, I know it and breed specific laws and bans on pits are simply acknowledging that fact. The death toll and catastrophic injuries caused by pits more than any other breed are ok with you - they are not ok with me. Quick! Call me a liberal or names like ‘hysterical’ - it will no doubt erase from my mind the fact that we both know pits are responsible for disproportionate amounts of carnage.
