Pit bull type dogs attack and kill more people than all other types of dogs combined and you’ve never heard of them killing someone? A few years ago a few pits dragged a kid under a fence and disembowled him before commencing to dine on his flesh - this isn’t unusual for these dogs. Their
“prey drive” means even riding a bike past them can “set off” their desire to pull down and kill prey (person on a bike).
Dogsbite.org documents killings as well as other sources. Here’s their fatalities page:
https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities.php

In particular in the videos I’ve watched of pit attacks over many years, the dogs love it - it’s the “prey drive” so they love to attack and kill. There are pits who haven’t maimed or killed yet but we can’t tell which ones will and which ones won’t. Lovingly raised pits kill as do mistreated ones.

It’s crushing to watch videos of people who no longer have a face as they are still in the hospital, fretting that the pit owner doesn’t have insurance so now the victim is destined to lose their house and face repeated surgeries etc.

Poster was talking about CATAHOULA LEOPARD DOGS not killing anyone; they can look like PBTs but are not the same (like some Labs, another reason I am against breed-bans - one doesn’t always know what something really is).

But otherwise, carry on.
