Dude, I've posted all sorts of stats, figures, and verified accounts and the Pit lovers just stick their head back in the sand and dismiss it all as lies and propaganda. You can't reason with them.

The pit bull thing is kind of weird to me, especially when we are almost never provided with proof of breed. I'll try and get my wife to chime in on the subject as she's a Veterinarian. She has an interesting perspective that I will try to sum up as best as I can. She use to work for a somewhat large cities animal control. She said nearly all calls about vicious dogs and dogs brought in for Quarantine after biting someone, were labeled as pit bull or pit bull type dogs. She says this was almost never factual, in fact very few verified pit bulls every came into her exam room and that the ones that did find their way into her care were almost always subjects of abuse. Anything with a stocky build or a square head was immediately called a pit bull. She's got a funny story of a bunch of brindle curs being picked up after they escaped their kennels being called pit bulls.

In short, we are taking this guys word for a "pit bull" killing his kid. Could it be possible he's using the term to blame the dog rather than saying "I'm an idiot for leaving a 2 month old ALONE with an animal"
