(9,746 posts)Now read their disclaimer at the top. They admit they are combining 4 breeds into pitbulls and not taking it on a breed by breed basis as they are with the other dogs.
Now notice they give population data on those breeds but don't actually take population into account.
Now divide the number on attacks, or fatalities, or whatever while adjusting for breed (divide by 4) and population (divide by the percentage). Now note that the pits are no where near the top by the sites own data...data they cite again and again to say how horrible pits are. Then they have the gall to say they have no intention of banning German shepards only pits...when the adjusted numbers show that pits are closers to shepards than almost every other dog on their list! So fair and balanced.
Or how about their critique of the pitbull test. The purpose of the test was to show how they could be confused with other dogs. They do nothing to dispute that but rather claim the test doesn't work because they didnt include dogs that are vastly different from pits...and even then their test has a few dogs that can get confused for pits.
Or how about reading the broad generalizations they give on all pitbull owners?
That site is full of bologna.
