The only thing worse than a dangerous pit bull are their apologetic owners.
Fanatics for dangerous dogs always:
say valid statistics are bogus but do not say why or offer proof
say they have veritable statistics but never come back to publish them
love to compare dangerous dogs to guns, saying guns kill more than pit bulls
blame the victims for the dog attacks.
That last one is the most extreme characteristic to shed light on what kind of people they really are.
Statistics don’t lie.
Pit bulls, which are now, alarmingly, the second most popular breed (Labrador retrievers remain first), comprising 9% of the breed population, account for:
81% of attacks that induce bodily harm
76% of attacks to children
87% of attack to adults
72% of attacks resulting in fatalities
81% that result in maiming
According to the annual report on dog maulings, maimings, dismemberments and fatalities by breed, continually updated by American investigative journalist Merritt Clifton, as well as from statistics compiled by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, nearly half of the victims killed by pit bulls are household members.
One single person is killed in the U.S. by a pit bull every 14 days.
One body part is severed and lost in a pit bull attack every 5.4 days.
Statistics don’t lie. But pit bull fanatics do. Even to themselves.
