  3. Snarky,
    Don't forget "pit bulls were known as nanny dogs"... oops,the nanny dog just ripped of the kid's scalp... "well, you NEVER leave ANY dog along with a child"

    There is always "well, pit bulls might have dog aggression but a well bred pit will never bite a human because manbiters were culled. You had to be able to handle the dog in the pit, you know"...

    So many breed specific excuses.

    "There is always "well, pit bulls might have dog aggression but a well bred pit will never bite a human because manbiters were culled. You had to be able to handle the dog in the pit, you know"..."

    Notice how convoluted and overly complex and ad hoc seeming this reasoning is compared to a direct statement like "dogs created to kill other dogs for no reason will likely be more dangerous on average to all living things, and likely cause special problems in a country of many dog owners".

  9. Pit Bullian logic:


    "Pit Bulls were never bred to bite humans despite killing 408 of them"

  10. Intentional pun on bullian logic? I think it should catch on.

  12. GREAT PIT_CENTRIC ANIMAL CONTROL FAILURES IN HISTORY:

    CHICAGO 2011:

    Despite assurances from Cherie Travis that Pit Bull attacks are rare, Pit bulls produce 732 "bites" or 40 percent of all animal bites in the city.

    The tax payer is losing an arm and a leg here.
