It would never rip a lady's face off on film like the one in the first post in this thread unless of course it had a very good reason like protecting the children from Granny Death who dared to let out a squeal in her backyard in response to having ice water poured over her head.

I'm not saying that you cant tell a "true" Pit by looking at a picture of a dog that you already know is a true Pit, I am telling you exactly that you can't just look at a dog and determine that it is for sure a Pit Bull unless it's your dog. Sometime last year I posted a link to this very thing, a line up, if you will, of various dogs breeds and 80% couldn't correctly ID the American Pit Bull Terrier and that 80% was just over what would be statistically correct with just a blind guess. I had a Lab/Boxer mix that looked exactly like a pit Bull but didn't have an ounce of Pit Bull DNA. I currently have a Boston Terrier/Cocker Spaniel mix that I get asked all the time if she is a "baby Pit", again, not an ounce of Pit DNA.

Nobody has to get on CNN or FOX News to "spin" anything, all one has to do is look. The CDC states on their site that they dont keep breed specific stats on Dog bites because it is, even in the eye of the best trained Veterinarian, impossible to know the breed without a DNA test. They use stats provided by "others", mainly the anti Pit Group at Dogbite.org who specifically said on their website that they use "other mixed breeds" in their Pit Bull stats. Those other breed, again listed on their site, are Boxers, Boxer/Lab mix, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Boxer mix, Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Lab mix....etc

But don't let silly things like facts sway you, go ahead and believe those Dog Breed Expert, Gum Shoe reporters for CNN, FOX News and the New York Times when they tell you that Old Lady Johnson saw a Pit Bull attack someone so it must be a Pit. Remember when CNN and the NYTimes told you if you like your insurance you can keep it, Period, and if you like your Doctor, you can keep them, Period.

I have never shot a Boston terrier/cocker spaniel mix as far as you know!

No they don't.
It is rare that a AKC American Pit Bull Terrier mauls or kills anyone.
Read all these articles and BS stories that report the number of deaths and you'll find that Pit Bull "LIKE" or mixed breeds that may not even contain Pit Bull Terrier DNA such as a Boxer/Lab mix are the ones being counted as "Pit Bull". Getting your info from these sources is like trying to find a fair article about Christians on al Jazeera
I don't see a problem with not liking a dog breed and I am right beside each and everyone of you when you say kill a dangerous dog but to denigrate an entire breed based on ignorance is just beyond my field of comprehension.
Fact is, very few of you have ever actually seen a Pit Bull(if it was even a Pit Bull) bite anyone much less been bitten yourself but I bet you you've been bitten by another breed or even a cat.

Just eliminate all of them to avoid the confusion. Or put a $10,000 permit fee to own them and charge them with manslaughter if one of their abominations kills somebody.
