112. Dogbite.org is a notoriously anti-pitbull site

May 2013

started by Colleen Lynn, after she was attacked by a dog that she claimed was a pitbull and later proved not to be, again 60% of the time the media and people who don't know what they are talking about call a dog a pitbull when its not. And your going to use a personal injury attorney, people who make their money from dog bites as a credible source? Every credible national organization that is involved in dog interactions oppose BSL laws and stand against people who irrationally hate pitpulls and other breeds like them because the media tells them too.

American Dog Owners Association

American Humane

American Kennel Club (AKC)

American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)

American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)

American Working Dog Federation

Association of Pet Dog Trainers

Best Friends

Center for Disease Control

Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)

International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants

International Association of Canine Professionals

National Animal Control Association

National Animal Interest Alliance

National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors

National Canine Research Council

No Kill Advocacy Center

Oh yeah here are the statements from these organizations against BSL laws

Blue Heelers are the most dangerous dogs in Australia XemaSab May 2013 #16

Then why aren't they included in the breed ban in Australia? baldguy May 2013 #21

They're working dogs XemaSab May 2013 #40

You're advertising your ignorance. baldguy May 2013 #43

Let me guess...you've never been to Australia SwissTony May 2013 #57

I've had two heeler mixes XemaSab May 2013 #61

You are not familiar with the breed SwissTony May 2013 #106

wrong answer. Ed Suspicious May 2013 #34

Yes yes, they're four-legged orcs Scootaloo May 2013 #44

Humans may be the primary factor... Spider Jerusalem May 2013 #58

And the problem remains negligent owners Scootaloo May 2013 #84

So basically assholes are more likely to own pit bulls. XemaSab May 2013 #2

Assholes are more likely to own aggressive dogs. baldguy May 2013 #11

Generally today - yes. At one time jazzimov May 2013 #12

And don't forget what the assholes did to the Alsatian (German Shepard). Egalitarian Thug May 2013 #18

Want to talk about your dangerous dogs, Xema? flvegan May 2013 #69

According to the pit bull apologists, bad dogs come from bad owners XemaSab May 2013 #88

"What am I going to do, take them back to the pound?" baldguy May 2013 #90

That is the reason Pittys get a horrible rep Drale May 2013 #101

'Pit bulls' have a bad "rep" ronnie624 May 2013 #107

"genocide against dogs"? ronnie624 May 2013 #111

Dogbite.org is a notoriously anti-pitbull site Drale May 2013 #112

You carefully avoid relevant statistics ronnie624 May 2013 #115

I did not avoid anything Drale May 2013 #116

Any dog *CAN* kill or maim with it's bite. baldguy May 2013 #19

"Any dog *CAN* kill or maim with it's bite." bvar22 May 2013 #22

If you don't think small dogs can kill you're delusional. baldguy May 2013 #29

Your links are a JOKE, as is your position. bvar22 May 2013 #31

In the first link the small dog KILLED the infant. baldguy May 2013 #35

Only a moron would leave an 8 day old infant with a dog of any size. Walk away May 2013 #46

Well, we're dealing with morons. Aren't we? baldguy May 2013 #50

Anything with teeth can bite. The world is not a safe place. freshwest May 2013 #6

I'm sorry, but your evidence is not only weak it is laughable. Soundman May 2013 #7

Prove it false. baldguy May 2013 #13

What is there to prove? Soundman May 2013 #28

The article pointed out the only proof of the supposed dog bite "epidemic" were phone surveys. baldguy May 2013 #32

So if we euthanize all the TheCowsCameHome May 2013 #9

That's true for every breed of dog. Because every breed of dog bites. baldguy May 2013 #15

It's really clear to me defacto7 May 2013 #20

Alright, thanks for the laugh. AnotherMcIntosh May 2013 #82

If not you, I was ready! "Iss nut my dug." WinkyDink May 2013 #95

You don't have these problems with cats. Skip Intro May 2013 #25

Actually, a cat bite is much more likely to result in hospitalization than a dog bite REP May 2013 #26

Glad you're ok, Skip Intro May 2013 #33

Well, that's why people generally don't want cats to be bigger than 20lbs or so... REP May 2013 #37

Nice looking cat. Skip Intro May 2013 #41

Awww REP May 2013 #83

But haven't you heard of the pit bull type feline? defacto7 May 2013 #49

I have one! REP May 2013 #73

HA! Ask Rosie O'Donnell. Ask my two friends! INFECTIONS! WinkyDink May 2013 #96

Rosie O'Donnell almost lost her finger/hand due to a fishing hook injury -- not a cat bite. Arugula Latte May 2013 #100

Yep. I'm happy to be a cat person. Arugula Latte May 2013 #99

Cat bites and scratches get easily get infected Drale May 2013 #102

More fucking dog bite bullshit. Seriously? Why? The point will NEVER be proven by EITHER side... cherokeeprogressive May 2013 #27

That's just it: It has been proven repeatedly that Pit Bulls aren't any different from other dogs. baldguy May 2013 #45

and you will just dig your hole deeper. defacto7 May 2013 #48

The truth has been proven repeatedly. baldguy May 2013 #51

Here is what you're offering as "truth" Orrex May 2013 #54

What you're dismissing out of hand are peer-reviewed studies baldguy May 2013 #64

A consensus of two rabid pit bull fetishists does not impress me Orrex May 2013 #71

Yeah but it's no lie they're hideously ugly LOL. cherokeeprogressive May 2013 #55

I just know that I have people compliment my dog every day saying how beautiful she is. baldguy May 2013 #60

They say that because they're afraid that the vile beasts would attack them otherwise Orrex May 2013 #76

I can't figure out which end is the front. TheCowsCameHome May 2013 #92

You notice, nobody has even attempted to try to disprove anything I've posted. baldguy May 2013 #52

Some issues with the study. nicky187 May 2013 #53

The morons claim there *IS* a correlation between Pit Bulls and biting behavior. baldguy May 2013 #56

Sure do. nicky187 May 2013 #122

Aren't they? ! defacto7 May 2013 #66

Of course, any dog will bite. polly7 May 2013 #59

Your study from 1991 seems out of date. Pit bulls have become much more popular since then. Flatulo May 2013 #68

Why bother? flvegan May 2013 #70

Have you seen this report? Flatulo May 2013 #72

Any study that suggests that pit bulls aren't delightful little angels must be rejected Orrex May 2013 #74

Merritt Clifton? Please, be serious. baldguy May 2013 #78

ANY dog will bite, but a 4 lb Chihuahua will likely do less damage than a Pit Bull (for instance) nt bike man May 2013 #89

Yep. They have to wait until you're asleep so they can reach your throat! Egalitarian Thug May 2013 #97

You have not seen the damage my 5-pound Chihuahua RebelOne May 2013 #121
