TheShiznit Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Squeegie - It is not just the amount of times a dog attacks or bites it is the outcome of that attack that also has to be considered. I have been snapped at or bitten by dogs 100's if not 1000's of times - mostly from an angtry cockapoo that loved to bite feet in the middle of the night if you dared move. I just checked and I still have ten toes and ten fingers both cheeks and my face. If this would have been a pit bull I am guessing I would have been seriously injured if not killed. That is the main difference. Would you rather be "attacked" by a cockapoo 10 times or a pit bull once? I would choose a pit bull once....for the obvious gheynous of even associating with anything with a cack and poo in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H8tank Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Somebody posted a link earlier in this thread that pretty much made the case, pits attack and kill people at an alarmingly higher rate than anything else. Of this there is no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H8tank Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Of the breeds most often involved in incidents of sufficient severityto be listed, pit bull terriers are noteworthy for attacking adults almost as frequently as children. This is a very rare pattern: children are normally at greatest risk from dogbite because they play with dogs more often, have less experience in reading dog behavior, are more likely to engage in activity that alarms or stimulates a dog, and are less able to defend themselves when a dog becomes aggressive. Pit bulls seem to differ behaviorally from other dogs in having far less inhibition about attacking people who are larger than they are. They are also notorious for attacking seemingly without warning, a tendency exacerbated by the custom of docking pit bulls' tails so that warning signals are not easily recognized. Thus the adult victim of a pit bull attack may have had little or no opportunity to read the warning signals that would avert an attack from any other dog.

Squeegiebo Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Citing a study published by Applied Animal Behavior Science, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported that one in five dachshunds has bitten or tried to bite strangers, and one in 12 has shown aggression toward its owners. Pretty disturbing stat if you have a baby or child small enough that a dachshund could actually do real damage to him/her. Do we have a stat like this on pit bulls? One in _____ pit bulls has bitten or tried to bite strangers, and one in _____ has shown aggression toward its owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pit bulls cause one-third of dog-bite related fatalities while only make up less than 2% of the dog population I personally know too many Pit Bull owners that have had their dogs go ballistic for no reason and have had friends come way too close to getting attacked - a big no thanks - I won't even go near one.
