[quote=Anonymous][quote]pitbulls do not cause more serious injuries per # of dog than any other popular breed? of course they do.

Not they don't. Many, many, many attacks are incorrectly attributed to "pit bulls". Most people can't recognize one when they see it. See if you can....

At least have the integrity to be honest when you fail this test. Very few people pass it.

I don't own a pit and never would because of the stigma and liability attached. However, I've spent a lot of time with the breed. There are certainly some dangerous pitbulls out there. But I've never met one that wasn't just a big goofy affectionate lovebug.

Here's the CDC list of dogs most likely to kill humans.

-Pitbull-type dogs 
-Rottweilers 
-German Shepherds 
-Husky-type dogs 
-Malamutes 
-Doberman Pinschers 
-Chow Chows 
-Great Danes 
-Saint Bernards 
-[b]Wolf hybrids[/b] 
-Mixed breeds

Note the "pitbull - type" wording. There are so many bully breeds incorrectly labeled as "pitbull terrier". I have two German Shepherds. Number three on the list. When most people think of German Shepherds, they think of loyal police dogs, great with kids, smart, ..... A closer look reveals that they are responsible for a lot of very serious bites. Yet, no one blinks an eye when I say I have one. Mention the word "Pit Bull" and people go nuts.[/quote]
that is the one you got to watch! I have heard stories about them.[/quote]
