Want to talk about your dangerous dogs, Xema? flvegan May 2013 #69

"genocide against dogs"? ronnie624 May 2013 #111
Dogbite.org is a notoriously anti-pitbull site Drale May 2013 #112
You carefully avoid relevant statistics ronnie624 May 2013 #115

Any dog *CAN* kill or maim with it's bite. baldguy May 2013 #19
"Any dog *CAN* kill or maim with it's bite." bvar22 May 2013 #22
If you don't think small dogs can kill you're delusional. baldguy May 2013 #29
Your links are a JOKE, as is your position. bvar22 May 2013 #31
In the first link the small dog KILLED the infant. baldguy May 2013 #35
Only a moron would leave an 8 day old infant with a dog of any size. Walk away May 2013 #46
Well, we're dealing with morons. Aren't we? baldguy May 2013 #50

What is there to prove? Soundman May 2013 #28
The article pointed out the only proof of the supposed dog bite "epidemic" were phone surveys. baldguy May 2013 #32
So if we euthanize all the TheCowsCameHome May 2013 #9

You don't have these problems with cats. Skip Intro May 2013 #25
Actually, a cat bite is much more likely to result in hospitalization than a dog bite REP May 2013 #26
Glad you're ok, Skip Intro May 2013 #33
Well, that's why people generally don't want cats to be bigger than 20lbs or so... REP May 2013 #37
Nice looking cat. Skip Intro May 2013 #41
Awww REP May 2013 #83
But haven't you heard of the pit bull type feline? defacto7 May 2013 #49

More fucking dog bite bullshit. Seriously? Why? The point will NEVER be proven by EITHER side... cherokeeprogressive May 2013 #27
That's just it: It has been proven repeatedly that Pit Bulls aren't any different from other dogs. baldguy May 2013 #45
and you will just dig your hole deeper. defacto7 May 2013 #48
The truth has been proven repeatedly. baldguy May 2013 #51
Here is what you're offering as "truth" Orrex May 2013 #54
What you're dismissing out of hand are peer-reviewed studies baldguy May 2013 #64
A consensus of two rabid pit bull fetishists does not impress me Orrex May 2013 #71
Yeah but it's no lie they're hideously ugly LOL. cherokeeprogressive May 2013 #55
I just know that I have people compliment my dog every day saying how beautiful she is. baldguy May 2013 #60
They say that because they're afraid that the vile beasts would attack them otherwise Orrex May 2013 #76

Aren't they? ! defacto7 May 2013 #66
Of course, any dog will bite. polly7 May 2013 #59
Your study from 1991 seems out of date. Pit bulls have become much more popular since then. Flatulo May 2013 #68
Why bother? flvegan May 2013 #70
Have you seen this report? Flatulo May 2013 #72
Any study that suggests that pit bulls aren't delightful little angels must be rejected Orrex May 2013 #74

Yep. They have to wait until you're asleep so they can reach your throat! Egalitarian Thug May 2013 #97
You have not seen the damage my 5-pound Chihuahua RebelOne May 2013 #121
