…and how many neighborhoods, insurance companies, etc have rules against pitbulls?
There is no way that the full picture of breed ownership is tainted by purposely reporting the breed as one that wouldn’t cause the owner to pay more for insurance, get dropped by insurance, kicked out of their rental unit, etc?
Most of the dogs I know have significant amounts of pitbull in their blood. Their owners are not pitbull fanatics - they just rescued a dog from a service and found out it was 50+% pitbull. The one friend who has close to pure (90+%) pitbulls literally rescued them from the streets. Like found the dog with no tags and no chip somewhere near where they live, spent weeks advertising to find its owner, and decided to keep it when no owner surfaced.
EDIT: Sorry, my fault! I thought you were arguing against the evidence, like many here…
Facts & science, please. I swear, I’m really not trying to be a jerk, but you make several assertions without proof. You’re saying I don’t have the full picture. But also implying we’re seeing so many news stories about pits attacking children, data about than being more dangerous because… there’s fewer of them? Legitimately not trying to strawman you or put words in your mouth, but that would be exactly opposite the point you’re trying to defend.
