There's tons of friendly and well raised pitbulls. Y'all just never here about them because the news doesn't make scary stories about them. Yall have a negativity bias
Negativity bias? Fact bias.
Pit bulls are the single mostly likely breed to be involved in a bite incident. Over 22% of all bite incidents are pit bulls. Not only that, they are the single most likely breed to be involved in a fatal attack.
So they bite the most, and their attacks are most often the deadliest.
Those stats are a result of shitty reporting by cops who are likely to just list any breed they can't immediately give two fucks to confirm as a pit.
A rather famous incident quickly dropped off the radar once it turned out that the dog that attacked the victim was actually a golden retriever.
Not to mention how these stats are most of the time introduced as dogwhistles (ignore the pun) for similar mis/disinformation about black people since pits and pit mixes are frequently considered a "black people dog breed."
A lot of the same framing too, "they're too dangerous to be part of
whitesociety!", "all they know is how to be violent!", "they're a danger towhitewomen and children!"ignore the pun
I refuse! celebrates the pun
Chihuahua are easily bigger biters than pits. They just don't get reported.
Speculation, but also no shit Sherlock if it is true, if a chihuahua bites you you can punt it across the room. You can’t do the same with a stocky pitbull.
Not with that attitude you can't.
I know several people with scars on their faces from pitbulls. Four of them had to get reconstructive surgery.
I grew up with one so I am not a hater, but I know they can be very dangerous especially around other dogs.
