More points to make about Pit Bull Owners.

It appears many owners are of the Michael Vick variety. Black and minorities seem to favor owning a Pit Bull. As do drug dealers and other criminals.

Gee Boomer. Perhaps I’ve been wrong about Pit Bulls.

I should not be afraid of Pit Bulls. I should be afraid of their OWNERS!

A total of 166 owners of high risk dogs were compared with 189 owners of low risk dogs. The high risk dog owners had nearly 10 times more criminal convictions than other dog owners. Breaking the data down by categories of criminal behavior they found that high risk dog owners were 6.8 times more likely to be convicted of an aggressive crime, 2.8 times more likely to have carried out a crime involving children, 2.4 times more likely to have perpetrated domestic violence, and 5.4 times more likely to have an alcohol related conviction when compared to low risk dog owners.
