So even if a dog that was a Labrador/Pit/Chow but resembles a Pit bull they will write it down as a Pit bull.
It's funny that you should now refer to The National Canine Research Council. That website is the opposite of the other one... it is very reliable with accurate data. But you need to dig deeper into that site. Numbers don't mean a lot to me. Research does. Take a look at the Council's The Pit Bull Placebo. It's quite a long read, but is well worth it. |
it's not me that's the concern, i've owned a pitbull, tj hooker, cool dog.
i was trying to highlight that people glob onto statistics and it will get to the point that that statistic will doom pit bulls.
it's a big deal right now in los angeles area, that woman was the 2nd woman recently to be attacked and killed by pit bulls.
the dog will be dealt with by the masses if pit bull owners don't get their shit together and sort out that statistic.
60% of fatalaties but only 5% of the dog population? see what i am trying to get at here?
bye bye pit bulls.
