I typed "...for a summers" in a Borat voice.

I think you're touching on the truth here. It's not that pitbulls are inherently bad, but that they have a reputation that attracts the biggest assholes as owners and so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It's also selection bias. Pit bull attacks make the news. Other dog attacks don't. It's also the name is menacing whereas a golden retriever sounds like a nice little friend.

Any ban on pit bulls should ban any similarly sized dog. Otherwise it is like banning Camel cigarettes because they are dangerous but not banning other brands.

Forgive me im not a pet guy but is it the size or temperment at issue here?

Forget it. I got the solution

Any time a dog bites someone, that person has the option to bite the owner.

People are careless.

"Oh he's harmless, he doesn't bite"
- Every dog owner

Yet bites seem to continue. ..

Both. Any big dog is a threat. Some may be a little more of a threat but ultimately they all can go Baby McCown on you if the conditions are right.

Grew up with a standard poodle. Family drove out to Kewanee to get him when I was like 4. His brother knocked me over and I still have a scar on my knee from him. Anyway, this dog scared the crap out of people because he would get in fights with other dogs that came on his lawn or racoons.


I know dogs are territorial, but I thought they marked their territory with piss, not cum. Also, where did the other dogs come on the raccoons? The face?

Pitbull type breeds temperament test on par with golden retrievers. Unaltered males, regardless of breed, seem to be the biggest predictor of bites/attacks.
