re: Woman Killed By Dogs- Has to be one of the worst ways to die *UPDATE on Page 10*

Way more people die from horses every year you want to make them illegal too?

Please post links to horses fatally attacking people.

Do a group of horses typically chase you down and eat your face off?

don't you love the
"way more people die by x-y-z than [insert dog here]" crowd?

A dog attacking someone =/= someone die from riding a horse improperly or an accident happening.

Theoretically,
One could be completely prevented, don't ride them.
The other? You can't

Yeah so I’m finding some way to put those dogs down. I find it highly unusual two dogs killed another dog and weren’t put down unless there is something else to the story I’m missing. But even if there was something else that would explain the behavior it’s still two dogs that killed another. Must be put down. Could be a neighborhood kid next time.

Mostly it's the Staffordshire terrier that gets the Pitt name.
But tell a pitt bull breeder that it's not a breed

Pitt Bull is short for American Pitt Bull Terrier. It is a breeed.

only cops can shoot dogs and not have a good explanation why. "that chihuahua growled at me!"

I had a black lab duck dog that got into it with a pit once.

is he a pure lab though? labs aren't usually fighters. I have a lab/akita mix that is about as laid back as can be but have another dog growl at me or my nieces/nephews and he puts himself in between and is ready to rumble. really awesome dog around the kids...he goes out to where they are playing and keeps watch. he keeps snakes and such away from them. I have a second little dog that tears his ears up and such and he lets her lol

How many fatalities do those breeds cause compared to pits though?

You don't do statistics do you bro?

First of all, Pitbull breeds probably outnumber Scottish Terriers a thousand one so it stands to reason you're going to have a lot more fatalities and bites by sheer number. But that's not what matters, per capita is what matters. New Orleans isn't dangerous because it has a lot of murders, New Orleans is dangerous because it has a lot of murders for its given population. Chicago likely has five times as many murders as New Orleans but it also has 20 times the population so your chances of getting killed there a lot slimmer. This is why per capita is the only statistical category that matters when assessing risk.

What you want to know is what are your chances of getting bit By Any Given breed. It's surprisingly low 4 Pitbull breeds. Also, pit bulls are medium sized breeds. Definitely something you can kick away. I mean, if a 1.5 foot human that weighed 60 pounds came at you you don't think you could handle him? I would be more worried about Mastiffs,doggo Argentinos, Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers. Those dogs are tall enough to reach your neck and heavy enough to knock you down. There's a reason that historically people used German Shepherds and Doberman Pinschers as guard dogs not pitbulls. Pitbulls were bred to kill other dogs, Doberman Pinschers were bred to kill other humans.
