Facts & science, please. I swear, I'm really not trying to be a jerk, but you make several assertions without proof. You're saying I don't have the full picture. But also imputing we're seeing so many news stories about pits attacking children, data about than being more dangerous is wrong because... there's fewer of them? Legitimately not trying to strawman you or put words in your mouth, but that would be exactly opposite the point you're trying to defend.
Sorry, I misunderstood. So many people are having an emotional reaction to my comments...
Since you're using different statistics to compare and come to a conclusion, can I ask what you're getting the "breed numbers" from? @Empricorn@feddit.nl has been throwing around the dogbite site but I wouldn't go off that number.
Even all the things I'm seeing online like the American Kennel club don't actually track realistic numbers
It just kinda gets worse from there
So I doubt you're getting accurate numbers since the data just isn't tracked. Just like all of these "facts", it's being heavily skewed and misrepresented. Hell, even EMpricorn's "INSURANCE WEBSITE link" (it's literally a fucking ad for pet insurance) just outright dismisses all this shit with the back and forth word salad
...and how many neighborhoods, insurance companies, etc have rules against pitbulls?
There is no way that the full picture of breed ownership is tainted by purposely reporting the breed as one that wouldn't cause the owner to pay more for insurance, get dropped by insurance, kicked out of their rental unit, etc?
Most of the dogs I know have significant amounts of pitbull in their blood. Their owners are not pitbull fanatics - they just rescued a dog from a service and found out it was 50+% pitbull. The one friend who has close to pure (90+%) pitbulls literally rescued them from the streets. Like found the dog with no tags and no chip somewhere near where they live, spent weeks advertising to find its owner, and decided to keep it when no owner surfaced.
