Celebrities with their Pit Bulls

[BREMPRO]

105. sure from dogbites. but the study was performed by JAMA, well respected for their adherence

to rigorous scientific method and peer review. Using national center for health statistics and news reports of dog attacks seems a reasonable cross reference. the tone of your questions suggests you believe it's the owners treatment neglect, abuse, training,lack of neutering rather than the dog breed itself as well as the statistically higher numbers of pitt bull breeds lumped together that is the core reason pitt bulls have a higher bite and mortality rate. points taken, however one has to ask if this is the reason, why is it that owners seem to train, neglect, abuse this breed over others? is there something in the breed that attracts one to train for aggression? Whatever the reasons, the statistics remain significant that this group of dogs (all those close cousins categorized as pitt bull breeds) have the highest bite and mortality rates..in this study 42 percent of fatalities, 3 times the number of the next highest breed. That should give one serious pause and concern about these dogs. My personal experience witnessing the attack of a child by what i believe was an American pitt bull was horrifying and i've seen first hand a dog that seemed calm and friendly turn into a monster in seconds without warning and not let go until it was nearly beaten with over 20 blows to the head from a bat that would kill any man to save a child's life.. Not something you forget.
