I have a pit bull, no I'm not a thug.

I used to train Law Enforcement dogs and personal dogs some on the side. A dog is like a child. The up bringing means everything not the blood line.

 

I grew up around pits. Keep them firmly leashed out of their comfort zone.They were very loving and playful dogs with family and friends, however...

• 34 U.S. dog bite-related fatalities occurred in 2015. Despite being regulated inMilitary Housing areas and over 700 U.S. cities, pit bulls contributed to 82% (28) of these deaths. Pit bulls make up about 6.6% of the total U.S. dog population.2
• Together, pit bulls (28) and rottweilers (3), the second most lethal dog breed, accounted for 91% of the total recorded deaths in 2015. This same combination also accounted for 76% of all fatal attacks during the 11-year period of 2005 to 2015.
• The breakdown between these two breeds is substantial over this 11-year period. From 2005 to 2015, pit bulls killed 232 Americans, about one citizen every 17 days, versus rottweilers, which killed 41, about one citizen every 98 days.
• In the year of 2015, the combination of pit bulls (28), their close cousins, American bulldogs (2), and rottweilers (3) contributed to 97% (33) of all dog bite-related fatalities. Both American bulldog fatalities occurred in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
• Annual data from 2015 shows that 41% (14) of the fatality victims were children ages 9-years and younger, and 59% (20) were adults, ages 22-years and older. Of the total adults killed by canines in 2015, 65% (13) were ages 60-years and older.
• Annual data shows that when combining all age groups, male victims (20) were greater in number than female victims (14). Amongst children ages 9-years and younger, males were excessively victims 79% (11), versus females 21% (3).
• In 2015, nearly one third, 32% (11), of all dog bite fatality victims were either visiting or living temporarily with the dog's owner when the fatal attack occurred. Children ages 9-years and younger accounted for 82% (9) of these deaths.
• 50% (17) of all fatalities in 2015 involved more than one dog; 15% (5) involved a pack attack of four or more dogs; 21% (7) involved breeding on the dog owner's property either actively or in the recent past and 6% (2) involved tethered dogs.
• In 2015, 9% (3) of all fatal attacks were inflicted by dogs rehomed by shelters or rescues. County operated shelters in Buncombe County, North Carolina and Madison County, Tennessee each adopted out a dog that fatally attacked a person.
• Dog ownership information for 2015 shows that non-family dogs inflicted the majority of dog bite fatalities, 59% (20), up 12% from the 10-year average of 47%. Over two-thirds of all deaths, 71% (24), occurred on the dog owner's property.
• In 2015, only 9% (3) of attacks causing death resulted in meaningful criminal charges; the lowest level in the last 11-years.3 2015 also marked the first time a medical examiner ruled "suicide" as manner of death in a fatal dog attack.
• Texas once again led all states in lethal dog attacks in 2015 with 5 deaths. Florida and Oklahoma each followed incurring 3 deaths. Arkansas, California, Michigan, New York, North Carolina and West Virginia each followed with 2 deaths.
• Not ignorance, fact!

 

Wow. No wonder you got a pit bull. So much anger. Have fun with that!

 

A whole breed. Think about that. We breed them to fight. That's a fact. I've had friends with pitbull who just went crazy and tried to kill it's owner. There's a good reason that most companies won't accept them.

 

This all came from a website called dogsbite.org? Your right, these are legit facts. Not biased or anything. No this website was clearly fair.

Lol. Wow.

Next your going to tell me guns kill people and your facts come from bangunsNOw.net.

 

You just laid a fact smack down! Nice. Again I love love love dogs... But pitbulls aren't the safest breed.

 

I've petted many pitbullsand those pits were the most lovablest dogs.Now on the flip side.one sunny afternoon at a Illinois rest area I'm walking across the parking lot and a very angry pit attacked my dog which is a ####erspaniel.Two guys immediately tackled him.Then another time while in line waiting to get loaded a landstar driver had a pit and he looked like he was ready to attack.I think it's how the animals are raised that would either make them lovable pets or aggresive.
