According to the public education website, dogsbite.org, pitbull breeds make up only 4.4% of the dog population but of the 3392 dog bites resulting in bodily harm, 2383 were carried out by pit bulls or pitt bull mixes - 70%. http://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-study-dog-attacks-and-maimings-merritt-clifton.php These stories are far too common. Even watching programs like the People's Court you see that such a high percentage of dog on dog attacks are from pit bulls. Yet pit bull owners continue to profess their breed's innocent nature. I understand that some of these animals are very sweet dogs, but the owners need to recognize the nature of this breed. There should be legislation protecting the other breeds from the vicious nature of pitt bulls.
