I have seen 5 stories this week on Pit Bull maulings. Please show me the 5 stories of Collie maulings you have seen this week.
Okay - show me the links to the 5 stories....current to “this week.”
Next, Collies WILL bite, but you hear less of these stories because they tend to be a rural dog and if they get inappropriately aggressive, they get shot by the dog owner or the farmer next door (real men, not some patsey metrosexual who has to wait on Animal Control).
Finally, I don’t care. The real story is the owners. When I was a kid, the “bad breed” was German Shepherds. There was a family on the road (rural area) that had 2 and the neighborhood was on freak-out every time Banjo and Bozo (don’t ask) got out of the fenced in yard, though they never ever hurt anything. Today? Those dogs are mainstream. As soon as the money made off Pit fighting disappears, Pit Bulls will also cease to be the terrorist dog of the day and we can get back to the real “bad dogs”..that taco bell mutt and cocker spanials.
Exactly. I grew up with a Collie. Yes, they have a tendency to bite, my dog bit twice. But never have I seen one go on the attack, hell bent on killing the victim. My dog now , a Shiba Inu was attacked by a pair of Pits. Thankfully I was ably to reach him and pick him up before they got their jaws in him. That could of just as easily been my toddler in the yard.
I am sure there are a some exceptions out there, but you cant stop a hound from wanting to bark, you cant stop a Basset hound from wanting to dig a hole, and a Pit bull has his own inherit traits we are all aware of.
You're not gonna see them because the media doesn't see the need to report that every single damned time it happens.

Can’t do that...
but I can tell you I provided Chet with two links this week.
One of a mauling and the other a death.
He has so far refused to post them.
If you rely on the media or FR
for even handed reporting of dog attacks
you will be disappointed.
