-the pit bull is an extremely popular dog these days.
-Dog bites/attacks get identified as pit bulls regardless, many aren't even close
-media picks up on any bite/attack that will be considered a pit bull, dog bites from other breeds aren't as interesting.
-I just posted real scientific and controlled studies do not at all support the idea that pit bulls attack more frequently than other breeds.
If you don't understand how media will gravitate towards stories that have demonized villains then you don't understand how this world really works.
From your last sentence, it is clear you aren't even paying attention anyway....
I read your post, and have read the CDC info before.
Frankly, I don't believe it.
If an Irish Setter ate a child, it would be news, same as a pitbull.
The fact they aren't purebred is irrelevant to me.
I don't think pit bulls attack more than other dogs, I think the way they attack is more likely to cause injury.
We don't have to agree on this - I want them banned like they are in some countries.
