...Therefore, you are more than 60 TIMES MORE LIKELY to be killed by a PALM TREE than a Pit Bull.

I can only assume you survived a hit on the head from a coconut with only brain damage to show for it. I don't live in an area that has palm trees so what are my odds for being killed from a falling coconut? ZERO. I DO have those detestable ugly dogs known as "pit bulls" that live in close proximity to me, making the odds of being killed by one much greater than a coconut.

Time and time again we read about pit bulls ripping the faces off young children or worse. It's always the same story..."gee, he was always such a gentle dog...we don't know why he snapped...blah, blah, blah." Meanwhile, some poor 3 year-old girl is in the hospital with 500 stitches in her face and disfigured for life IF she's "lucky" and survived.

With all available breeds, why on earth would you or anyone select such a breed? What is the point? What redeeming value do they have? That can't be trusted with your own family members, especially small ones, so they are not reliable guard dog companions. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but they are UGLY. Period.

Do yourself a favor. Get another breed. And stay away from the palm trees. You might not be so "lucky" next time.

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.

Pit bulls have genetic damage due to trailer park and ghetto housing geneticists breeding these “animals.” They are unpredictable. Normal dogs have been bred for centuries to be domesticated to live with humans. Pits are bred by idiots hopped up on meth or crack. Some breeds have been domesticated to live with humans for 10,000 years a few Japanese breeds, Norweigian Elkhounds and few others. Buy a real dog or go to the pound and get a nice gentle mutt.

Perhaps you should stay away from humans, they have a higher homicide rate than pit’s after all.
