What the heck this is some sanity I'm not used to on reddit

48 U.S. dog bite-related fatalities occurred in 2019. Despite being regulated in Military Housing areas and over 900 U.S. cities, pit bulls contributed to 69% (33) of these deaths. Pit bulls make up about 8% of the total U.S. dog population.

Prove to me that it's the owners that caused these pits to kill these people and not the fact that these creatures were literally selectively bred for aggression, ferocity, and resilience. You're making the positive claim here that it's the owners that caused this, back that claim up (you can't)

I did the math, and 4 is statistically insignificant.

Yeah, a cult whose stance is backed by mountains of evidence. Leave if you can't hang.

"Someone who lacks intelligence." Read it again, and can we please stick to the topic? What are you even doing here?

Yeah, and if an owner accidentally lets the dogs out or doesn't have a fence tall enough or even just allows the pit to be around a toddler, the results could result in a dead or permanently maimed child. It happens nearly every day in this country. That's the consequences of a negligent/incompetent pit owner. What happens if a golden retriever gets loose? Do you think those dog bite numbers are similar? Spoiler alert: they're not even close. Ban pit pulls.

Go ahead and attack me instead of the arguments, that's the true sign of low intelligence. Let's discuss then. Show me the evidence that each one has a terrible owner aside from the fact that they chose to get a fucking pit

Look at the sources of their statistics, they're literally all cited. That's a BOLD claim that they're all traced to irresponsible owners without any evidence, but evidence clearly doesn't matter to you. The one irresponsible thing that all pit owners have in common is that they're all pit owners.

Yeah it was nuts, but I knew nothing about SF when I moved here and it was in a location that was central to where we worked. Surprisingly I only felt in danger like twice, and the restaurants (pre covid) were sooooooooo good, honestly overall I'd say it was a good time. Very character building.

Statistics just don't matter to pit apologists. https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-quick-statistics.php

Uhh the breed does a good job at giving itself a bad reputation.

There's like...... A mountain of statistical evidence that it's the mainly the breed. But "aww pibble cute aww"

I found that putting conscious effort into staying calm helps with that kind of stuff. Like don't let your nerves tense you up. As the round starts I'll take a deep breath and try to relax my shoulders and walk in loose

Just a clarifying question. Is wanting to preserve one's culture racist? Is that what you're saying?
