I think it is harder to get true numbers on pit bull attacks because it will always include mixes and dogs that aren't actually pit bulls but just have that look.
can you tell the difference? findpitbull_v4 http://www.pinellascounty.org/animal...reeds-test.pdf |
I couldnt agree with you more on this. I love pit bulls, dont know if I would ever own one again, but they do get a bad rap. And its mostly because everyone wants to label any dog that even closely resembles this kind of dog a pit bull. It sickens me that the media and others are so non educated on this.
Now if a REAL ACTUAL true pit bull attacks someone and its on the news so be it, but come on half the time they show some mixed up something and label it a pit. JMO>....
