Did you know.......3.)
Approximately 150 people are killed every year by falling coconuts. Therefore, you are more than 60 TIMES MORE LIKELY to be killed by a PALM TREE than a Pit Bull.
Gramma, Aren’t you going to tell us how dangerous snakes and spiders are too?
I won’t bully the breed, but if one of those things attacks me, I will have my phasers set to “kill.”
Well, SOMEONE’S gotta stand up for the dogs!!!
There’s an equal amount of anti-you name the large dog breed propaganda out there...
So there.
Now look. Didn’t I take everyone’s minds off of the Kenyan for awhile? I am doing my civic duty. Trying to save a breed, and your sanity.
I don’t have a pit.
I’ve never had one.
I don’t hang around coconut trees and most people on this thread didn’t even click the link for the other stats, didja.
It’s because pit bulls tend to hang out with meth lab operators.
As would I...
Cesar Millan, all his family and friends, his staff and volunteers, and dog lovers all around the world today will mourn the passing of one of the most loyal, trusting, well-balanced, and influential pit bull ambassadors the world has ever known. Daddy, Cesar’s longtime friend and partner in canine rehabilitation, died peacefully surrounded by family on Friday the 19th of February. He was sixteen years old.There ya go!
Can you say the same about snakes?
16 years old??? I PRAY that my GSD makes it that long...wow...
“Gramma, Aren’t you going to tell us how dangerous snakes and spiders are too?”
Gee, that was cute.
Their minds are made up - don’t confuse them with facts.
Chicken, aren’t ya?
Handsome looking dog.
Yep! You could say that. Ohhhhhhhhh yes.
Don’t. Please. Don’t do it. I KNOW what you’re thinking...do not do it please oh please oh please oh please.
You know, I’ll betcha that bbq’d pit bull would be real tasty.
(I have to keep you busy so you won’t do what I know you want to do)
Did you know....
1.) About 40 people (children) per year die by drowning in 5-gallon water pails. A person, during their lifetime, is 16 times more likely to drown in a 5-gallon water pail than to be killed by a Pit Bull.
2.) Approximately 50 children in the US are killed every year by their cribs - 25 times the number of children and adults killed by Pit Bulls.
3.) Approximately 150 people are killed every year by falling coconuts. Therefore, you are more than 60 TIMES MORE LIKELY to be killed by a PALM TREE than a Pit Bull.
4.) Each year, 350 people drown in their bathtubs. You are 151 times more likely to be killed by your bathtub than you are by a Pit Bull.
5) Every year, more than 2,000 children in the U.S. are killed by their parents or guardians either through abuse or neglect. A child is more than 800 times more likely to be killed by their caretaker than by a Pit Bull.
6) It can be estimated that for every Pit Bull who kills, there are 10.5 MILLION that DON’T!
There’s an equal amount of anti-you name the large dog breed propaganda out there...
Why do people think they need tough dogs? What are they compensating for? Why not get a good, perfectly harmless dog instead?
