Celebrities with their Pit Bulls

[LostOne4Ever]

79. First off

Pitbulls are not a breed. Its a group of about 4 different breeds. Further, pitbulls are one of the single most popular (set of) breeds so of course there is going to be more pitbull bites.

Break that graph down into breed and populations and you get this:


Pit bull 2235 /4.4%=508/4breeds=126 attacks per 100 dogs per breed

Rottweiler 495 /2.2%=225/1breed= 225 attacks per 100 dogs per breed

Husky 71/.05%=1420/1breed=1420 per 100 dogs per breed

Bullmastiff (Presa canario) 87 /.04%=2175/1breed=2175 attacks per 100 dogs per breed

German shepherd 96 /2.3%=42/1breed=42 attacks per 100 dogs per breed

Akita 65 /.06%=1083/1breed=1083 attacks per 100 dogs per breed

Chow 55 /.01%=5500/1breed=5500 attacks per 100 dogs per breed

Doberman 15 /1.3%=12/1breed=12 attacks per 100 dogs per breed

This puts 6 of the 8 different breeds ahead of pitbulls. The part breeds can't be used as their populations are not even given!!!

Of course the link you gave is horribly biased against dogs so why would they even TRY and be fair? It makes broad generalizations on ALL pitbull owners, and tries to discredit the fact people can EASILY mistake other dogs for pits by putting up a test with dogs as dissimilar to pits as possible (and still has some that could be mistaken). The site tries to assail the ATA test but puts up no information supporting the opposite position. It tries to say that pits have lock jaws (complete myth) because the dogs bites and shakes (all dogs do this). I could go on and on but its not worth it.
