According to truthguy’s statistics, pit bulls and rottweilers were responsible for 129 deaths over a five year period.

Did you know the American Academy of pediatrics estimates that a child dies from choking on food *every five days?*
That’s 365 dead in that same five years; not a huge risk, but greater than that of getting eaten by a pit bull. What are you doing to keep your kids safe from the hot dog threat?

Please don't misquote me. These are NOT MY Statistics. They are data from very reputable sources. I didn't compile the data. You analogy about more people choking and dying from food than are killed by Pit Bulls is pathetic. That's about like saying more people are killed in traffic accidents than are murdered, so why are we so concerned about murder in our society.

Apples VS oranges

Being torn apart has to be the worst death besides burning.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Every single day, every single person eats.

Not every person has a PBT nor do they see 1 even in a great while.

Hence the big difference in mere NUMBERS of incidents.

You’re right, a .45 is better for the dog of gangbangers, rap stars and other assorted 3rd World aspiring malcontents.

So, how may Pit Bulls do you have? Don’t lie? You can spin BS just as well as BO.

Award for most ridiculous post of the month. Seriously WTF? WTF? WTF? I almost didn’t respond but it showed such ignorance I couldn’t help myself. Of course there is a greater risk of choking. Kids ear at least 3 times a day and have food in their mouth probably at least 5-10. How many kids have contact with a Pit that many times a day. Sheesh, stop trying to defend your Pit. I know you have one or more. Maybe you’re not defending but trying to convince yourself???

The CDC has repeatedly stated that those stats cannot be used to “prove” one breed or type is more prone to bite than another, but alas the haters can’t read...(or refuse to deal with the facts - takc your pick!)
