Reply #61: Ok, so where is this evidence then?

Where? Pitbulls aren't the number one source of dog bites. And a Siberian tiger is not a domesticated animal. Dogs have been domesticated for 10,000 years.

Show me a study that says Pitbulls cause the most bites against people. Do you know what the two top dogs for REPORTED dog bites are? German Shepherds and Chow Chows. ANd yet if that woman had had a chow, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

Thirty different breeds of dogs have had a fatal attack attributed to them since 1975. I bet you can't name them all. In fact, I bet you wouldn't guess that they included the pomeranian (a four pound dog mauled a baby in 2000) and a jack russell terrier (you know, like wishbone-this was in 2002 and it was a toddler).

Further, "dog bite statistics" are dubious at best. Vets, Vet assistants, Vet Techs, Groomers, Kennel aids will tell you that bites that are not a very serious injury will go unpreported. If ALL bites were counted, it would be terriers that would be at the top of the biting list, not Pits.

Pits are blamed because people often report those types of bites. But dogs that are also blamed would include the great dane "huskies" (even though that is a class, not a breed) and several other dogs you see as family pets. These are all big, powerful dogs. They don't bite any more often than regular dogs, they just bite harder.

So if you want to make the assertion that you are making, PROVE it. You won't be able to. Because there is not a SHRED of evidence that what you say is true.
