response to the fact that pit bulls are massively overrepresented in dog attack and fatality statistics?
I do
Most dog attacks are report to hospital maybe police but any time the dog cant be found they can only take the word of the person. That’s a lot of dog bites that we have no way of verifying if it was a Pitbull or whatever breed they say. And yes people are really bad at identify dogs by bredds, lots of stray dogs are mixed breeds, and eyewitnesses are terrible in general.
Also pitbull ia not one breed
There several breeds woth pitbull in the name.
66 fatalities in 20 years is actually super low. That’s just 3.3 per year when there are probably millions of dogs. How many people were killed by people in that time? This demonstrates how people make wild generalizations from a few anecdotes.
Rottweilers are also super minimal at just 1.6 per year.
These numbers are so low as to be statistically insignificant. Many more people are killed by refrigerators each year. They estimate 60 people. Mostly children!!! A person is 20x more likely to be killed by a fridge than a pit bull. Are y’all mad about that too? And the number of fridges keeps growing!!!
Cops murder about 1000 people every year. Are you mad about that? Are you posting paragraphs about abolishing the police? There are probably far less cops than pit bulls.
Perhaps most importantly millions of people are murdered by cars every year. It’s a leading murderer of kids (right next to guns). Stop crying about dogs. Fuck cars.
