Pitbulls and Rottweilers make up 77% of all fatal dog bites, despite making up only 6% of the U.S. dog population
Pitbulls are 2.5x more likely to bite in multiple anatomical locations than other breeds.
Pitbulls are responsible for 60% of all injuries and 63% of ocular injuries.
Pitbull terriers are 31% more likely to attack an unknown individual than other breeds
Pitbull terriers are 48% more likely to attack without provocation than other breeds
Pitbull attacks have higher morbidity rates, higher hospital charges, and a higher risk of death than attacks by other breeds.
During 2005-2017, pit bulls killed one citizen every 16.7 days, totaling up to 284 Americans. Rottweilers killed over 105 people during that time period.
From 2005 to 2017, Rottweiler and Pitbull attacks contributed to 76% of all dog bite deaths.
When comparing 2005-2010 to 2011-2017, Pitbull attack deaths have increased from 58% to 71%. Alternatively, Rottweiler deaths decreased from 14% to 7%.
According to a 13-year data set, pit bulls caused 72% of attacks that killed a person 10-years and older vs. all other dog breeds put together.
From 2005 to 2017, 54% of fatal attacks were inflicted by family dogs. Of that 54%, 64% were done by pit bulls. 52% involved killing a family or household member.
When examining a 13-year data set, 54 fatal attacks included a dog killing its primary owner. Pit bulls were the cause of 63% of these deaths, over 8x more than any other type of dog.
Between 2015 to 2017, only 21% of fatal dog attacks resulted in criminal charges. 75% of these cases involved a pit bull.
It is estimated that by 2021, pit bulls would have mauled 441 Americans to death since 1998 and killed 515 Americans since 1980.
The U.S. Army has banned pit bulls from military housing due to their dangerous nature.

Simply because you perceive a discussion slightly off-course as a slight. Have you considered bitching and whining might not be good for the thread you're trying to "protect"? Yes, actually, because you intend to snuff out anything worthwhile.

NTA but you'd be surprised. I've seen numerous conservation threads here be derailed by /pol/niggers in the past 5 years. There's sadly a lot of people here that hate both animals and nature.

Empathy is a necessary human quality. The only thing it will learn is to not get caught. Just politely execute it so it doesn't breed. If we all did the same on our own land, we wouldn't have to run away and intrude on others.

>Empathy is a necessary human quality.
its literally not, otherwise psychopathy wouldnt be a selected trait, the only human quality that is a necessity is your ability to kill other people and be better than everyone else, dont believe me, believe the women who will flock to you because you committed a murder rather than feeding the homeless

Discuss. Me, I'd probably fight the grizzly bear because at least it's smaller. Then again, I wouldn't fight a pitbull and it's not the size of a bear. Would the bear gain any agility due to its smaller size? Probably not. If a bear only has its strength going for it, then shrinking the bear takes away its size advantage, and that's basically the whole point -- the bear is a powerhouse. On the other hand, the giant hamster suddenly gains the powerhouse attribute that the shrunken bear loses. What say you, /an/?

Kys you butthurt mentally ill low-T cat tranny

Realistically speaking, if you are lost walking in the african savannah, what are your chances to be attacked by a Leopard or by a pack of Lions?

From what I understood, Leopard would less likely attack you but Lions are extremely dangerous if you encounter them. Also the most scary and dangerous moments happens during the night, so I guess it would be fine if you find or make a safe shelter. Being at night in the wild with predators like these would be horrific.

I also heard that apparently the most dangerous beasts are the big herbivorous animals like hippos and buffalos, and even elephants and rhinos, who will charge you.

Why don't you have a Golden Retriever?

>>5072959
Golden are still considered the default family dog because they're extremely gentle and friendly, not aggressive at all and energetic and active enough for a family that likes to walk around the park and play fetch in a field but doesn't require hours upon hours of it.
Duck tollers and Setters all require much more activity than Goldens which, at least in the USA where I'm at, the average person is not willing to put in the time for
That being said, when my old cattle dog mix finally passed (she's 11) I'll probably get an Irish Setter or maybe an English Setter next
>>
>>5072950
Well, you’ve got both the show and field types of Labradors, the show are the fat one. In my experience Labradors tend to be less prone to anxiety, whereas Golden Retrievers can be a bit more sensitive.

Either way, I like both breeds. Personally, I prefer Labradors, especially the field-bred ones, since they’re really capable of putting in the work.
>>
>>5072962
Yea I'm in rural/village area, people are quite active, farming, and hiking culture is big. so generally the breed trends are practically driven but still visually influenced. Like the brief merle aussie trend, barf. people caught onto the neuroticism and genes quick thank goodness.
glad that field goldens are going strong now.
Cattle dogs seem really interesting and clever, but I'm so saddened by all the fatties I see online... I wish your little lady much happiness and fulfillment
>>
>>5072971
For me I got a Golden because it's the perfect amount of active for my lifestyle. I had a border collie/German shepherd mix that was literal hell. loved him to death, but that was too much dog for me

Why does nobody ever hype up the Golden Eagle while we hype up apex predator animals like the Tiger?

>perfectly stealthy, top speeds can fly around as fast as a bullet, can see and detect prey miles with its telescopic vision and has reflexes while flying that can make it able to swiftly dodge through tons of small openings in impossibly dense forestry at over 100mph.

>4 foot tall heavy af behemoth with razor sharp claws that are as big as the average human male dick size

>literally hunts and carries away prey as big as wolves and mountain lions
