I am not an apologist for pit bulls, poster. I would like to see them sterilized into extinction, they are a useless breed in modern society. There are several other fighting dog breeds I’d like to see extinct if I was benevolent dictator of the world.

My point, which you keep obtusely ignoring, is that ANY DOG CAN BITE AND ANY DOG CAN KILL - and the millions of idiot adult humans who let infants or small children and dogs of any breed be unsupervised together deserve to have neither dog nor child.

Dogs cannot help their instincts. They are not the stuffed animals or cartoons or movie dogs that so many people expect them to be. They are cousins of wolves and deserve respect, and to have children learn to respect them too.

I’m tilting as windmills, I know. Idiots breed and have pet dogs in abundance, so millions of kids will keep getting mauled every year by dogs of every breed who are only behaving as tens of thousands of years of evolution have programmed them to behave.

Yet we don’t seem to see the near-daily reports of babies and children being mauled to death by golden retrievers, chihuahuas, poodles, Samoyeds, huskies, labs, beagles, Akitas, bichons, chows, malamutes, Newfies and Great Danes as we do with pitbulls. A mystery indeed.

Well if you want to be snarky about it it, since only about ~25 people per year are mauled to death by dogs of any breed, it’s not ‘near daily’ reports at all, now is it? It’s not even weekly.

Wait, so how de we define mauling? Because that's about a weekly pit thing. But you also defined a 12 stitch Golden bite as a "mauling" so you're sort of un unreliable narrator.

Delusional pit lovers being delusional. How do you explain that the vast majority of these deaths come due to pitbulls attacking?

Animals 24-7 says, “Altogether, between the U.S. and Canada, 782 dogs in 2023 attacked people in reported incidents resulting in at least one fatality or disfigurement, counting as a “disfigurement” injuries rating a high 4 or 5 on the Ian Dunbar scale for evaluating dog attacks, on which a 6 is that the victim is dead.

Known victims included 143 children, and 490 adults, who among them suffered 69 deaths and 547 known disfigurements.” https://www.animals24-7.org/2024/02/01/record-68-dog-attack-deaths-in-2023-included-also-record-55-by-pit-bull/

I have heard of the Ian Dunbar scale before but didn’t know much about it, here is a link to that if people want to know what a “high 4 or 5” bite means (no pictures here): https://apdt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ian-dunbar-dog-bite-scale.pdf

So that’s 15 maulings a week, and that assumes that all of such bites have actually been reported and it ignores all the animals killed by pit bulls and it doesn’t even talk about how many grave or fatal attacks happen elsewhere around the world.

The point is you're ban specific breed leguslation would not have prevented the death of babies killed by dogs that were not pit bulls.

We need parents to stop leaving their babies alone with dogs.

If bans worked, you could ban one cluster of breeds (pit bulls) that is responsible for 72% of dog-related human fatalities, then you could ignore all of the breeds that are only responsible for 1% or less of fatalities, and you’d still drastically reduce fatalities.

The problems with breed bans is that so many dogs are mixed breed, and there will always be people who will not comply with bans — and they tend to be the people who are the least responsible breeders and owners to begin with.

Human infants are quite breakable, it seems. Maybe they should not be left on a bed with a creature that has teeth and bites, no matter how small?

From 2001. Also I can’t figure out how a Pomeranian got a baby’s head in its mouth, because one of the articles I found said the baby’s head was “buried” in the dog’s mouth. So that one is really confusing me.

Is the infant any less dead because it died 23 years ago?

I mean, WTAF?

If there is one every 23 years vs one every week I consider the one every week to be of higher risk, generally.

There's lies, damned lies, and statistics

Would y’all like me to keep posting stories about infants mauled or mauled to death by breeds of dog that are not pit bulls?

ANY DOG CAN BITE, AND ANY DOG CAN KILL.

The problem is adult humans, period. Idiot adult humans. The dog gets euthanized and the human has another baby, which sadly can’t be prevented because it is every idiot’s fundamental right to reproduce.

That was a pit bull mix. https://blog.dogsbite.org/2008/07/2008-fatality-tulsa-infant-killed-by.html

So far people have posted two “non pit bull” maulings that have turned out to be pit bull maulings. Any dog can kill, but it turns out that mostly pit bulls do.

6 year old boy was mauled by a pit bull on February 11, 2024. He spent three weeks in the hospital and is still not allowed to put weight on the injured leg. https://abc13.com/dog-attack-6-year-old-boy-suffers-traumatic-injuries-bitten-by-neighbors-pit-bull/14555068/

If it took six weeks for this news to be made public, how many other similarly serious but non-fatal attacks aren’t being reported to the public at all?

Just yesterday in NE a pit bull attacked a woman and two children, sending all three to the hospital. https://wjla.com/news/local/dog-shot-killed-after-woman-children-injured-in-northeast-dc-dog-attack-animals-investigation-49th-street-ne I have yet to hear of a Dalmatian attacking multiple people since, you know, “any dog can bite.”

I find it unfair that five breeds of dogs are considered 'pit bull' so course the statistics are against them!

Dog didn't maul the child. Let's wait for more details. The 2 year old could have jumped on the dog. (Or not?l)

My neighbor has a pit bull that always has some sort of guard around its mouth. Maybe all dogs should be required to have that.

Did not see dog breed mentioned in this article but 10 to one it's a pitbull or a pitbull mix. Eight day old baby mauled by pitbull.
