Sorry, I'm terrible with statistics...Can someone explain how they got these numbers?
80% of attacks that induce bodily harm
70% of attacks to children
83% of attack to adults
69% of attacks that result in fatalities
75% that result in maiming
How can you have both 70% to kids then have another 83% to adults? Honest question, I'm not sure how they're doing their numbers...
PS...someone please define "pit bull", if you mean dogs that are used in the dog fighting rings, yes I agree, ban that "sport" and put down the dogs used in those rings. As sad as that is, but they may not be aggressive towards humans but they were trained to fight and it would only be a matter of time before the dog got out of control. But many of these disgusting humans that fight dogs for $$ don't have a specific breed, they call their dogs "pit bulls" because the dogs are fighting in the "pits". If you mean all bull dogs, well good luck with that...people that own their $2500 English Bullys aren't going to go down quiet. If you're talking American Staffs, I've met too many friendly ones to say they're no good.
I don't see the point to banning breeds, people are still going to own them. They'll just call them a "lab mix" and go on about their business.
Punish the deed, not the breed! |
