I respect people who love their pit bulls but please show me all the news stories where Collies or Labs or Shepherds or even Dobies kill their owners.

There really is something wrong with dogs who would kill a child they have always known. Perhaps they should be kept in a gun safe.

"There really is something wrong with dogs who would kill a child they have always known."

That line in the article struck me the hardest. I have owned dogs all my life. Just because I haven't owned a pit bull does not mean I don't understand dog behavior.

I googled "Killed by _____" and used several dog breeds including Doberman, German Shepard, Labs etc. The only breed that returned PAGES of hits with people killed was the pit bull. Most of the other breeds didn't return a single hit with a human fatality.

If a conspiracy does exist against pit bulls, it is vast, huge and very organized.

The truth is, you'll have a difficult time finding stories of that ilk because they aren't "news worthy". Example: a "Pit Bull" attack reported in San Diego Ca. was actually an attack by a Black Lab. The "Pit Bull" attach in San Francisco was actually a Dogo Argintino. Several other stories like this happen on a regular basis. When the breed is unknown in a dog attack you can bet good money that it will be blamed on a Pit Bull.
