“Today, when averaging the last 3 years (2015 to 2017), pit bulls comprise about 6.5% of the total U.S. dog population.”
That is a shocking statistic. I had no idea it was that high.
Left out is how many people’s pets have been viciously killed by pit bulls. I no longer go to our park close by because too many passive friendly dogs get killed during the traditional doggie 10 second meet, greet, and move on. It seems once a month someone’s little Jack Russell gets killed.
Yeah, they’re all over the place. Not sure why exactly. There is nothing inherently special about the breed but enough negative press to make one think twice.
