The country is full of gang bangers and various other low lifes breeding pit bulls. Where do you get your denial?
“The country is full of gang bangers and various other low lifes breeding pit bulls. Where do you get your denial?”<<<<<
I’m not saying there aren’t places where this is happening. I know first hand that this occurs, because every time I take my dog for a walk through surrounding neighborhoods, someone comes running up to tell me about the pups they just had, with pride, as if they themselves delivered them, instead of just putting two dogs with the right parts in the same room together.
However, for as many of these dolts that are pumping out dogs, the percentage of pit bulls that attack is extremely small compared to their population, and this unfortunate effect of poverty and ignorance has not managed to increase the average number of human fatalities caused by dogs. These dogs simply replaced other breeds that fell out of popularity with the same type of people. They have not increased the total, therefore it only makes sense to see this as an owner issue, which the experts do.
You will not find a credible expert that is willing to say a breed of dog is responsible for all of this, because the research simply does not support it. Several sites on the internet try to use the reputable studies out of context to show that organizations like the CDC agree with them. Anyone with a sixth grade level of reading comprehension can click on the link and see that it is not the case, but these sites continuously get used by the media, who don’t bother to check their sources, and don’t want to correct their mistakes. It will continue this way unless people call them out when they do these things. There is no excuse for the media to be able to misdirect, misinform, and incite fear into people due to sheer laziness. NO, they are not a public service, but they should be held accountable for the environment they create. We of all people, on this site, should be very aware of how the media can make a bluebird look like a duck. It’s a shame that some of us don’t follow the same logic when it’s something we get emotional about.
