It seems again that the pittbull leads in dog attack fatalities for 2014. If you look at the link and go towards the bottom of the page, it has pictures of the victims and what happened. It is very sad, most are elderly females and small children. http://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities-2014.php

I understand the pits are built for biting with real power, but what breed is most likely to bite?
I did not read the link yet, but may I ask what dog bites the most often?

WIthout a doubt,it has to be the "Chow dogs",,,,ANy dog with a curly tail is NOT to be trusted.

probably some little yap dog that bounces when it barks. No one cares if they bite so they do, and do it often.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I beg to differ.

Chi-wa-wa, dachshund, and Chow.
Pit bulls (and other large breeds) are the AR15's of the canine world, they account for the smallest number of bites but get the most publicity when they do, similar to when AR's are used in mass shootings.
Another analogy would be getting shot by a bb gun or a 45, More people get shot by bb guns than 45's, but the 45 is going to do a helluva lot more damage.

Scratch the AR-15 reference. Pit Bulls KILL more often than any other breed. Its not a list about bites, its a list of fatalities and breed responsible. Im not seeing any Labs on that list.
Outlaw stupid pit bull owners
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
next, any potential owner should have to pass a course showing they have the ability and strength to prove dominance over said dog.
The owner will also have insurance for over $1M dollars on the dog for any damage it does to anyone else.
Any mauling will be a criminal offense, and will be charged against the owner, and he/she will serve the same prison time as if he/she would have committed the crime themselves.
That will stop the losers from breeding them, and the losers from buying or owning them[8] There are only a small percentage of people in society who can correctly deal with powerful dogs.
I made a 150lb rotty understand that when I raise my voice, he MUST submit. He was a great dog, but when he was young, and he felt he needed to exert his dominance, I made sure he understood I was the alpha male.[}:)]
I believe pitbulls should be euthanized unless the blood work proves them to have never been the product of inbreeding.

Thank you! Those are my boys, and every one of them is a lover and does not know what a stranger is. They look at everybody as "friends they have not met yet". Father and two sons. Dad on left, Oldest son in middle, and youngest on the right. Beau, Ike, And Leelou.

The statistics were a little off,, pit bull killed 17.98 per day. Article says 18 it did say about,, but not how much about. The article specifically said:
Spiked collars (on the dogs and the owners), tattoos (we're only talking owners from here on out), chrome, piercings, wife beaters, just basically trailer trash thug wannabees.
Seems the dog breed and human owners kinda gravitate towards each other.
So, that being said, pitbull owners, please explain why you specifically chose a pitbull as your dog. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of breeds available, so why the pit?
Do pitbulls have even one trait (besides killing) that they excel at so much that no other dog compares?
Or is it really just a look at me thing?
One down the block just killed the little pup of our neighbor's little daughter. She tried to break it up and doesn't realize how lucky she is she wasn't attacked.
Owners insist they trained out of them what was bred into them in the first place to create the breeds.
Along with insurance companies, I don't buy it.
Loaded guns with hair triggers and half a brain to discriminate when to pull it.
44 deaths by dog last year (you have a better chance getting struck by lightening)
Most all the deaths involved small children and women over 40.
I can see why cops are so afraid of dogs!
Oh, but just think how many lives were saved by cops shooting dogs!

Ownership of these time bombs is indefensible.

The link between dogs and guns is tenuous at best. Guns (like politicians) are inanimate and do not operate independent of the owner/possessor. Dogs, however are capable of independent thought and action and operate on instinct at will.

It still comes down to the owner. It's rare for a gun to go off on its own, but happens. Any large dog is capable of causing severe damage. But there are a larger percentage of bad owners that get pits for the wrong reasons, and it is a shame.

It is actually a very accurate analogy.
A small minority messes up and the responsible majority pays the price.
It is also rare for a pit (like the gun going off) to snap, but it does happen and when it does it gets tons of publicity, even though the majority have responsible owners (not unlike guns)and never have an incident.

I question if and how much killer instinct can be modified by training.
A mandatory 2 million dollar liability policy might help owners contain them better.
Why own a butt ugly dog when there are so many handsome dog breeds?

Apparently, I was mistaken about the degree to which you were cluing in, so let me help you out a bit. If you will note, just last year alone there were 27 deaths (DEATHS!) attributed to Pit Bull attack. And that was just for one year. One year! I don't think you could find 27 cases where a gun went off all on its own and killed ANYONE in the history of guns.

Pit-bulls were genetically bred to kill.

Being butt ugly sure isn't helping their case, that is for sure.

A Lab could drown you when they go into a licking frenzy. [:D]

Could just as easily be bad owners as bad animals. How many people were KILLED last year by guns with bad owners? I`d wager most.

One like these two has gotten me twice and no not my dog.

Wow. I amazed. Not by the fact you missed the point, but the breadth by which you missed it.
