There are estimated to be 90 million dogs in the United States. About 3.5 million are said to be pit bulls. Pit Bulls killed 203 American in the 10 year period from 2005-2014 according to police reports. Of the 326 recorded Fatalities by dogs during this period 62% were said to be Pit Bull attack’s. Even if half of those reported were inaccurate (perhaps some were mix breeds) this would still be a huge number. Many others that survived were disfigured for life.

I know some say these figures are inaccurate and you can’t contribute all of these attacks to the Pit Bull breed. However, anyway you want to spin these numbers any reasonable person is going to conclude there is cause to be diligent when dealing with a Pit Bull or a dog mixed with such a breed. Perhaps the Pit Bull has gotten a “bad rap”, you be the judge. “Figures don’t lie but liars figure”.

Hi, CFrance,

Mine was a Triumph GT6.

A pit bull has the ability to kill humans; hence, owners should be required special training on how to handle these dogs and they should require special registration certificates. I absolutely love dogs, but in a community like the villages, I consider any pit bull or like dog to be more dangerous than gun owners, even those without training. Lions, tigers and bears can be trained to be gentle, but even they occasionally kill their trainers. Some animals have the ability to overpower humans and must be properly constrained. Call me silly, but I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to own a dog that puts fear into the minds of their neighbors. The life of millions of aggressive bread dogs is not worth the life of one human.

:agree:. 100%!


That pretty much says it all.

What is a "bread dog"?

Sorry. This is confusing to me. Lions, tigers and bears and gun owners, all in one post. A lot to think about.

I wonder what my favorite dog in the whole world, Crosby, thinks.

Good morning, Jim Johnson.

Good morning, graciegirl,

graciegirl, Jim means “ aggressive breed dogs” not “bread dogs” — a mere typo, that’s all. Have another cup of coffee. :)

You’re welcome.

Boomer

Petey was a pit bull.

Boomer is a retired Teacher. So am I. She graded papers in high school. I tried to teach them to wait their turn for the fireman and nurse outfits in the dress up corner. We didn't have guns.

Some villagers have guns. That is their choice and well, you know.

That is interesting. And there were probably several dogs used in this series.

Not sure about a TV series as Petey retired in 1938. Our Gang aka The Little Rascals lived on as episodes from the past.

Here's an interesting movie made about the cast with interviews:
