It's time we ban pitbulls
Enough is enough. These dogs are way too strong & unpredictable. Plus, they are normally owned by the wrong people. Deadly combo right there.
This latest pitbull attack is absolutely heartbreaking. A 14-month-old Wisconsin boy has died after a brutal attack by a pair of pit bulls, authorities said on Thursday. Police received a call from Susan Iwicki, 30, on Wednesday saying that she and the young boy were being attacked by the dogs, according to local NBC affiliate WMTV. Iwicki told police that she and the boy had each sustained injuries. The boy died of his injuries at a Milwaukee area hospital later on Wednesday, the Walworth County sheriff’s office said, according to The Associated Press. The boy had the “biggest eyes, great smile,” family friend Valerie Brylow told local affiliate WTMJ. “He was a great little boy.” “He is adorable, absolutely adorable,” Nicole Jennison, another family friend told the station. The boy’s name has not been released, and an investigation continues. Both of the pit bulls were removed from the property and euthanized on Wednesday, WMTV reported. The fatal dog attack was the first in Wisconsin in a decade, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013...lling-him?lite |

I disagree. I think we need to round up all the pitbulls and let them loose in congress.

the report does not state that pit bulls make up 3.3% of the population, but that 3.3% of the dogs for sale in June 2011 in online or newspaper ads were pit bulls, also, the reports blames an average of 11 deaths per year on pit bulls. and its conclusion: Quote:

For example: Quote:
The above statistics came from a web site called dogsbite.org, so I can understand the argument that the very name of the web site suggests a certain amount of bias. However, the Centers for Disease Control could hardly be called a biased site. This is what the CDC concluded based upon a 20 year study: Quote:
And of course, the table shown below (which I've already posted in this thread) came from Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._United_States All of these sites support the same basic message: Pit bulls make up a relatively small percentage of the dog population, yet an overwhelmingly large percentage of dog-bite related deaths are caused by pit bulls. Feel free to post your own links to studies that contradict this basic message. However, if your source is bull911.com and your article is this one, you should probably acknowledge that it states plainly on the front page of the web site that it's a pit bull advocacy site. It dismisses the CDC study with a simple assertion that's not backed up by anything other than the opinion of the owner of the web site. This might be a good time for me to mention that I've never owned a pit bull, never been attacked by one, nor do I personally know anyone who has been attacked. I don't have an agenda or a pre-conceived bias here. I've just been watching the news reports for years, and based upon that I've drawn my own conclusion. The statistics speak for themselves. |

I guess the difference in my mind is that pit bulls probably don't provide quite as much benefit to society as electricity, motor vehicles, and water. Therefore it would pretty easy to eliminate virtually all of these deaths with no real cost to society. Perhaps Bob Dole sees that differently. And by the way, Bob Dole always speaks in the third person. Who are you, and what have you done with Bob Dole? |

I don't think statistics lie. Pitbulls ARE an easily agitated breed it seems. And I also agree that some owners are careless about owning them and some are better at it.
That said, there are countless other breeds of dogs for dog lovers to own. Pitbulls are not even that nice looking? I'm not saying kill pitbulls off. But why can't we just phase them out? |

I'm okay with not banning pit bulls as long as they don't ban the gun I'm going to use to kill any pit bull that turns up in my neighborhood.
