http://www.understand-a-bull.com/PitbullInformation/Urbanlegends.htm (two interesting stats: they registered weaker bites than German Shepherds and Rottweilers in a test between the three of them -- and many registered attacks are attributed to pitbulls whether or not they were correctly identified as such) Read between the lines a little bit before completely trashing on a breed for something ANY dog could have done.
lawl. most of the info on that link is true. it all does nothing but turn the typical excuses into long paragraphs, while not addressing anything important. i don't care about snapping turtles having stronger jaws. i care about which animals kill humans and other domesticated pets.
the death statistics at the end of that 3 page circumvention of anything important, are a
huge joke.
they completely ignore the plethora of concrete, backed up and well documented studies done by the Center for Disease Control, the American Veterinary Medical Association, the US Postal Service, a dozen or so accredited research universities, and law enforcement agencies.
instead, they cite an unrelated biological statement by a legit researcher about similarity in dog breed DNA, and go on for paragraphs about a single study, done by...The Washington Animal Foundation?
a side effect of my curious nature is to actually cross check insultingly wild nonsense that i read, especially on the internet, and especially when it is used to directly mislead people into ignoring reality and putting my little buddy in the god damn hospital. i would encourage anyone who chooses to argue about anything of importance to do the same.
well, a little research led me to believe, at first, that the Washington Animal Foundation (WAF) simply did not exist, and that the author of that horse shit was betting (correctly) that anyone who believed him would not bother to check.
i don't mind admitting when i am wrong, and i was. it does exist. it is a group, with no central office, no business license, no anything but a (badly made) website. it has absolutely no research accreditation, nor publications, nor listed members with any sort of scientific degrees or certifications listed.
it is a group of less than a dozen dipshits on the internet who follow local legislation issues pertaining to pit bull laws, and rally others to print up pre-written letters against them to send to local politicians.
the "study"...likely made up by these guys in some IRC chat room...is your source?
hilarious. some people will believe anything.
i hereby announce a new research organization, called the Domestic Internal Pitbull Statistics, Habits, Intelligence and Treatment Study.
i have combed through records that i birthed out of my imagination, and have come to the conclusion that 74% of all the terrorists involved with the WTC attacks of 9-11, were german shepherd or husky owners. and that all of the civilians who brought down the plane in pennsylvania owned pit bulls. therefore, banning them is evil.
