Showing Original Post only (View all)Surrounded by 8 pit pulls today, I barely escaped with my life [View all]
It looked a lot like this
Just another day at the dog park, with bouncing playing dogs all having fun. About eight happened to be pit bulls. One little grey pup tried to act tough and run up barking at me when I entered. Since I know dog body language, I wasn't afraid. Of course, he did lick my coffee cup, little varmint. He looked a lot like this, but bigger.
They are just dogs, not lethal weapons. Every time we go to the park we see bouncing, friendly pit bulls. My boxer mix sees no difference between them and any other dog in the park. She judges based on butt smell and who is the most fun, not breed. We could all take a lesson from her.

Or maybe we adopt them because they are at greatest risk of being murdered in the shelter?

You may have a point. Don't have a lot of experience with that greeting/surveillance.

Apparently, every fatality due to dog attack in the US this year has been caused by a pit bull.

Apparently, out of those 6 incidents (yes, only 6 - from 80 million dogs) only 2 are from Pit Bulls.
