Traditional media was nothing like this. It wasn’t so granular, it couldn’t create individual realities for individual users.

The websites we use have the power to determine whether we believe in genocides or not or if we know the civics of our own community.

I deleted the app the day the day they implemented this. The podcast they started playing was a 30 minute podcast advertising mattress firm or sleep country.

Your own source, an attorney’s office, is who states that mutts with pit in their genetics are part of that 60% number.

This is your own source.

So your argument started out as pits cause 60% of attacks to now being the 5 pit types, the commonly mistaken for Pitts, and mutts comprise 60% of attacks.

These are two separate arguments being made. The first one is false, and the second one probably is true, bit you are presenting it as if it is the first argument.

Your sources are a personal injury law firm and a victim’s advocate website.

Are they taking their numbers from media reports?

Your first source says 60% of dog fatalities are from dogs with Pits in their bloodline…

So mixed breeds are being counted as full pits for the sake of building a case?

Which further confirms my statement that you do not have true scientific numbers to support your claims. Ambulance chasers are not scientists. I don’t think that needs to be explained to you.

Again, there is no database of dog genetics that police maintain in the US, unless it was created after 2021.

Meaning all the stats you have are based solely on media reports of dog attacks and not actual dog attacks.

You can also contact the people compiling the lists. If they respond, they will admit that they do not track the rate of attacks committed by German Shepherds in the line of duty.

We also know that Cane Corso’s probably attack a few people per year, yet almost every list excludes them… Because they are counted towards pit bulls.

If you can provide an actual scientifically validated list, I am happy to see it. Otherwise your numbers are fiction and you know it.

The world’s first ever police DNA program started in the UK in 2021, and it was created for dog thefts, not dog attacks.

And seeing that there is no national database of all precinct’s police reports, you will have to go to your police department and see for yourself that they are not even cataloguing the breeds per attack.

As for your comment that there are 5 dogs that fall under the umbrella term of pit bull, that actually helps my original point that these lists are unscientific. Chihauhas aren’t lumped together with Mexican shorthairs when the numbers are tallied, neither is any dog lumped with their types. These lists also don’t break down which of the pit types are most responsible for the most attacks.

1. because the numbers aren’t collected by anybody, meaning the lists are lying, and
2. if the pit types were separated by their actual breed, the numbers would show an average or a slightly higher rate of aggression, not the majority of all attacks.

I would also point out that almost none of these lists you read online include German Shephards, which is strange since they tend to be the only dog in the US that is commissioned as Police Officer and are frequently attacking people as part of their job. Further evidence that these lists are unscientific and politically motivated.

Here is a list of 10.

Just a head’s up but not a single police department in the nation DNA tests or even has a spot on their reports to label which specific breed of dog caused the attack, there is also roughly a dozen different breeds on the list of dogs commonly mistaken for pits.

Anybody telling you pits are responsible for any percentage of dog attacks is lying by giving a number not scientifically achieved.

I can finally say Benny boy and myself have something in common.

Golly, that gal is stacked.
