Anon, if there was only 1 attack and it was ...Wow. Anon, if there was only 1 attack and it was your child, do you think you would be posting that its really not that bad? I'd love to know what your limit is, really, of how many child can be bitten and other pets killed each year before we should consider doing something about it. <br /><br />Yes, it really is that bad when you COMPARE pit bulls to OTHER BREEDS. We are told pit bulls are just like other dogs. If that were true they would be acting like other dogs. When 5% of the dogs are causing 27% of the attacks, something is wrong there. It means other breeds are attacking at a percentage far less than what their population is. And if we had more of those dogs and less pit bulls, we would have far less attacks. <br /><br />I'm not naive. I understand that as long as we have dogs as pets we will have dogs bites and attacks, and some deaths. Education and proper ownership can help with that, but will not erase it altogether. However the constant misinformation and poor education that has gone on within pit bull rescue and ownership has created an entire culture of breed enthusiasts with genetically dangerous animals and no clue how to properly and safely own them. The results can be seen in the statistics, which I whole heartedly disagree with you, are that bad. Nutters may accept collateral damage for the ability to own a pit bull - the rest of us DO NOT. Dog attacks are not normal and not acceptable, by any breed. No other breed club would stand for it, and the public would not be acting differently towards any other breed that had the same statistics.Turkeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870820637508800763.post-85394036302965836432010-06-24T07:58:25.368-07:002010-06-24T07:58:25.368-07:00Turkey even if there are 20 Pitbull atacks in one ...Turkey even if there are 20 Pitbull atacks in one city in a year is that really even that bad?

And the attack in Fontana was indeed by a mastiff and pit bulls/mixes. If you are depending on the report by Jamie Simmons, you should know that she is totally incompetent and has caused more problems than you can imagine with her incompetency. I guess you aren't one of those who considers your dog to be a family member since you disregard the dog on dog attacks. And you failed to show any other breed that has done this much damage in San Bernardino in those numbers. If I am not mistaken, there have been no other fatalities by other breeds in this decade.

Over 20% of the population in the shelter are pits, a disportionate number as compared to their population as pets. And listen carefully, there is a BIG difference between bites and fatalities. A bite can be as simple as a breaking of the skin. A fatality, well do I need to explain that to you? And pits don't bite, they maul, they leave you with life altering scars if you are one of the lucky ones to survive.
