You think attacks by pit bulls are “very, very rare”?????
Are you kidding? You’re kidding, right? Do you know that a pitbull (the REAL ones) are physiologically incapable of unlocking their jaw once they’re clamped on to an animal or a person? Do you know that even multiple gunshots might not even drop an attacking pitbull?
Some education without the hysteria might be good. Sometimes the reputation matches the actual FACTS. In the case of breeding pitbulls, it absolutely matches.
When do you ever hear about a shitzu or a dachsund or a golden retriever mauling an animal or person? Ya don’t...that’s the point.
I thought I didn’t have to add the /sarc tag to my post. Obviously, you must be new to the Pit Bull threads;)
I hate Pit Bulls and, after my own little special rendezvous with one, I firmly believe it should be illegal to breed the beasts.

Myth - “Pit Bulls have locking jaws.”
Fact - The jaws of the Pit Bull are functionally
the same as the jaws of any other breed, and this has been proven via
expert examination.
The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the
skulls, mandibles and teeth of Pit Bulls show that, in proportion to their
size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology, is
no different than that of any [other] breed of dog. There is absolutely
not evidence for the existence of any kind of ’locking mechanism’ unique
to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier,
says Dr. I. Lerh Brisbin of the University of Georgia (from the ADBA
booklet, “Discover the American Pit Bull Terrier.)
This is simply not true. No dog can "lock" it's jaws, not even the big bad pitbull. All the bully breeds simply have very strong jaw muscles.
Besides, if it were true that they couldn't release a hold, then why aren't folks having to surgically remove a biting pit?
it’s obvious she was being sarcastic.
