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.

>>5072434
Pittbulls are like pornography: you know it when you see it
People love to say "um ACKCHYUALLY, it's a staffy, NOT an APB, so it's not a pit!" or my favorite "it's a mix, so it's not actually a pitbull"
if it has that stupid retarded square head and body, it's a pit and you know it

So staffies are safe then? They are pretty round

The Nanny Dog lie:
It stems from a 1971 New York Times article, in which Lillian Rant claims they're 'nursemaid dogs".
Rant was an advocate and writer for a dogfighting-based Staffordshire Club.
>It is a little known fact, but true enough, that John P. Colby was a charter member, and help to establish the Staffordshire Club of America.

>...Mrs. Colby herself was President of the Staffordshire Club of America for awhile and worked closely with the screening process of the American 'Pit' Bull Terrier into the American Kennel Club under the name of Staffordshire.

You heard that right, "AmStaffs" were invented as a pit bull relabel to evade a breed ban.

And the "AmStaff" breed standard? It's based on the same Colby line head that mauled John P. Colby's nephew in 1909.

Rotties have always been guard dogs so unfortunately im not surprised to see that they kill the second most people. But theyre still a based breed and can be good pets. They also dont seem to attract the trashy type of people who like pitbulls.

Those are all probably pits too. Half the other dogs like “German shepherds” are probably pit mixes as well.

For "lab mixes" agreed but it's silly to be giving German Shepherds of all breeds the benefit of the doubt and claiming they're unfairly maligned. The breed has a history of violence all on its own with a record of fatal maulings long before modern pitbull ownership trends. Same goes for rotties.

>>
>>5072814
Ironically this is usually who I see owning these
I know shitbulls are associated with blacks, but almost all the owners I see are either white women, or Mexicans.
A few months back I saw a Mexican guy leaning a Petsmart with his enormous pits off leash, they have the classic hideous cut ears and they still had their balls. This guy oozed "Cesar Milan" "I'm better than you so I let my dangerous animals walk off leash leash in public to show off" energy. Hope they got in a car crash on the way home. Good riddance
I dated a pretty hot blond girl with huge tits who later got a disgusting pitbull, in classic white women fashion. She now has a bastard kid with some guy and lets her pit be around the baby. Does a bullet with her because she was kinda fucked in the head, even though she was hot

I’m not trailer trash or living in a ghetto, so no, there aren’t any pitbulls on the premises.

I wonder why all of these people trained their dogs to kill their family members:

The family who lives at the home said they have had the 12-year-old pitbull since it was a puppy and trusted it around children. “He was a loving dog,” she said. “He was not a vicious dog, but how it snapped, we don’t understand.”

Sterling Vermeer (5), killed 2020


"I have been around the dog a few times and it never gave the indication it was vicious. We trusted it around our small kids," Samantha Costilla said. "My cousins and I, we all have kids under five and the dog would play and the kids would play around him. We never thought it was a vicious animal that we had to protect our family from."

Devin White (25), killed 2020


“I believe they had owned them for four years is what I’ve been told. So they were strangers, the pets were no strangers to the family,” said Willhite.

Geraldine Hamlin (64), killed 2020


"The family had sat down for lunch outside," said East Providence Police Chief William Nebus. [...] "As far as we know, it was an unprovoked attack. There was no food on the ground both of them were going for, there was no hair pulling, no tail pulling, anything of that sort," he said.

Scarlett Pereira (1), killed 2020


"The dog [has] never snapped before." [...] "The dog was like her best friend," Painter said, of the child's relationship with the animal.

A’myrikal Hull (1), killed 2021


“It’s such a sad situation,” Pelton said. “She’d been around the dogs numerous times. I don’t have an answer as to why the dogs attacked her.”

Leann Gratzer, (61) killed 2021


Weird.

I'm sick and fucking tired of seeing you seethe about cats unprompted like a woman that can't get over their ex. You're in paleontology threads talking about cats. You're in /herp/ talking about cats. The few times I've looked at /dog/ (worst general on the board btw) there's always someone seething about cats. Not to mention the numerous anti-cat threads you've shit up the board with.

You're just like the paleoschizo-schizo. At least he was honest about wanting to ruin the board. You hide behind dishonest "i-it's the catfags! they're the real problem! let me tell you my encyclopedic knowledge of their posting habits" deflection while pissing and shitting all over the place just as much as they do. GOD I wish this place had actual jannies. Can only pray there's one in the new batch that will put an end to this. Maybe even delete /cat/ and /dog/ because they're both nothing but attraction for negative attention

What's the best way to defend against a dog attack actually?

Look, I'm not saying it's impossible for someone to have a pitbull that is capable of being a genuinely good well behaved dog, but the problem is it's so far and few in between. If it's the owner and not the breed, then why are almost all of the owners of BBMs horrible?

My 6 year old German shepherd just attacked my grandma at Thanksgiving dinner. I've had him since he was a puppy and he's been a great dog. He went from laying down on the couch next to her to biting her face in an instant. No growling or warning whatsoever. He's in the garage and she's at the hospital getting stitches.

He's almost certainly going to be put down. Hope you all have a better thanksgiving than me.

This. In 1935 the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was recognised by The Royal Kennel Club. Some Americans quickly plagiarised the more prestigious sounding Staffordshire Terrier name and stuck it on their Pit Bulls. By the 1970s the American Kennel Club changed it to "American Staffordshire Terrier" to avoid confusion and possible legal issues. There is only one actual Staffordshire Terrier and it isn't the obvious American knock-off.

The OP is showing you that statistically, shitbulls and more deadly than other dogs. It's not "media histrionics" - it's objective fact.
