In 2009, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia released a five-year review of dog-bite injuries. The review states that 51 percent of attacks were made by pit bulls.

In 2009, another study was published by the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology. The study ran for 15 years and it has concluded that pit bulls, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers are among the most common breeds that cause fatal dog attacks in Kentucky State.

In 2011, the Annals of Surgery published a study, which concluded that Pitbull attacks lead to more expensive hospital bills, higher risk of death, and higher morbidity rates compared to other breeds of dogs.
I just want to say op, you have two great looking pups! I can guarantee Teddy is the best cuddler.
They really are fucking adorable. 10/10 would give them snuggles and scratches.
Then again, I also like 100% of animals, so 🤷♀️
Statistics by definition is presenting empirical data and that’s what most people think of when they hear statistics. Most scientists studying statistics actually spend much more of their time developing and studying methods of data collection rather than crunching numbers. The reason for this is you cannot have meaning statistics if the data set is not accurate. And I love you all and your experiences matter but they bear no scientific weight.
4 out of 5 dentists agree that every time you see a static it’s complete and total bullshit. Flawed data collection leads to flawed results which leads to flawed conclusions. But people sure do get excited when numbers validate their biases.
Every single pitbull I’ve met has been nothing but loving and kind. I understand the context about people who don’t like them as they’ve probably seen things in the media about how pitbulls act, or something in a similar nature. I would believe that the media is just trying to get you scared, as I remember one time with a different story about a city I live nearby to, and how I said I was scared to go into the city due to the gun violence, when one of the people who live in the city said that they live in the hood, and have no trouble getting to where they need to go, which personally made me feel a lot better. That’s what I currently believe this situation is like. I do understand that this may not change some opinions with some people, just think about it, please.
You’re dismissing the people who have made their opinion from the overwhelming scientific data on this subject.
I consider that “media”
It’s best not to use alternative definitions in a discussion without noting it. You’ll only cause confusion.
Those aren’t actually OPs dogs. This is a bait.
Your right. One of them is my friends. I never claimed both were mine.

They’re adorable. Fuck the haters and love those dogs even more for it.
I love pitbulls.
I hate irresponsible people who don’t recognize the inherent danger associated to improper handling of pitbulls who put infants right under them to walk across the room and take a pictures just to try to piss off people who recognize their potential for mauling.
Right before they leave the gate unlocked, the pitbull gets out, kills another person’s dog and rips out their Achilles tendon.
“I never thought that could happen! Killer was always such a sweet and gentle dog! How could I have ever predicted this or prevented it!”
YES. FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES. Proper care of a dog and understanding its behavior is key to stopping accidents like maulings.
Thanks for helping me know who to block. These fucking idiots pop their heads up with their half-remembered sound bites of “facts”, and the block button is really the only answer. I don’t talk to prairie dogs or dust bunnies either, but these morons are more tenacious.
Also, here’s my darling boy rescue (from a “foster” that had him on Prozac as a puppy rather than CARE for him — cut from the same cloth as these assclowns 😭🤬🖕🏽), for solidarity and reference: while he’s technically a Staffordshire-Boxer, I’ve raised my fair share of Pitty rescues, including an Akita-Pit that was a champion of everyone and smarter than the average human by far. 🥰
Your dog as absolutely beautiful.
If you as an owner allow an “accident” like that, you should go to jail for years and never be allowed to own any pets for the rest of your life.
They look so happy and fuzzy and cuddly

This is by far the worst thread I’ve seen on this site. Go back to Reddit, y’all.
We’re all very disappointed with your attitude.
I had two roommates who both had pitbulls. Both very loving owners. These dogs were treated right. But they could not coexist.
After one fight too many, one of the owners got mauled by his own dog after trying to break the dogs up. He almost lost his hand.
Ban pitbulls.
“BuT mY WiTtLe pRiNcEsS WoUlD NeVeR HuRt a FlY!”
So glad the UK outlawed these bully xl things. Not a day goes by it doesn’t maul one child or another
Fuckin dog racist.
Absolutely assinine that people can’t have squirrels or raccoons as pets, but dogs bred for centuries to brutally murder eachother in pit matches are free game.
There are tons of people who own raccoons and squirrels. There was literally a president that had a pet racoon. And to assume a dog is inherently evil for being abused for centuries is wrong. Bull terriers were breed for pit fights but they’re rarely associated with that kind if violence. Borzoi’s were breed for hunting wolves yet we never hear about them being violent.
In most states, it’s illegal to house a raccoon or a squirrel without costly extensive licensure.
And just look up the stats.
Pitbulls have the reputation because pitbulls are the ones killing other dogs and sending people to the hospital every day.
If you wanna clench your eyes shut and be dumb, have at.
And to assume a dog is inherently
evildangerous.inherently dangerous. It’s not the dogs’ fault, but that doesn’t change what must be done.
That’s simply not an accurate history. ✅
Very cute dogs
I just want to scritch their cute memoryfoam heads.
