Can you count? Anyone would love to invest in something that has a 50% return on their investment. the number dont lie even if you are so blinded by your pit love. look at the facts over the past just say ten years and so will see if someone is attacked by a dog and killed the odds of it being a pit that did it is a very high number. you may have a point if the numbers were split between of dogs but the pit is over 50% and all the other breeds together make up the rest. so the numbers arent on your side no matter how you spin it. and both the attacks i know about first hand was a loving family pet that turned without warning and one was shot as he couldnt be pulled off the child and the other one was pulled off by the owner and was put down by the vet.no one that doesnt own one of these or have had one of these dogs defends them this hard.
Yes I can count. I am just not too sure you can!!
So you are saying you get a 50% return on your investment because 50% of fatal attacks are by these dogs.
Lets examine this statement.
First you are wrongly assuming that everyone who buys or obtains a Pit is getting the dog so that they can have it attack and kill someone. Is this actually what you are saying?
This ain't Snap Chat so your comments aren't going to disappear in a few seconds, which means everyone else can read them also.
Secondly 16 Fatal attacks a year is 16 dogs a year who fatally attack a person. That is 16 dogs out of the estimated 2-8 million of these and their mixes being owned in the US. using the lowest number estimate of 2 million owned that come to about 0.000008% of these dogs will be involved in a fatal attack. 0.000008% is a far cry from that 50% investment you speak of.
Like I said, the numbers aren't there for playing the numbers Game you want to play. You are going to have to have a better argument than that. May I recommend that you just hate them for no reason in particular? that is a much better argument than the one you have now that the numbers in the Game just don't add up.
Along with your Math skills you seem to be lacking reading comprehension. I have already said I don't currently own a Pit Bull or any of the various mixes. The last Pit I owned died about 15 years ago and he was the last of that bloodline and I could find no others from any combo of that bloodline to purchase so I decided to not own one again. I chose a couple of Dachshunds instead. I currently own a Cocker Spaniel/Boston Terrier mix and a West Highland Terrier/Jack Russel mix.
So as you can see I do not own "one of these dogs" and I am not defending them
I am defending the inaccurate numbers you are posting. There is no spin on my part, numbers don't lie they just add up to something and have no personal preference as to what they add up to.
Your spin is that , based on the numbers you provided, shows that
a- Most Pit Bulls are involved in fatal attacks. Numbers there just don't support that. However if you unspin your comment to say that Most Fatal attacks involve Pit Bulls, that would be a true statement that the numbers support. But that don't make every single last one of them dangerous though does it?
B- all pit bull owners got a Pit so that they can have a dog that will kill someone guaranteed....or atleast 50% guaranteed. Once again the numbers just do not support that. Out of that low number estimate that actual number that will be involved in a fatal attack is 0.000008%. 0.000008 is about the diameter of a Red Blood Cell in meters. Thats a far cry than just over a million dogs that will be involved in a fatal attack that you get from using your number of 50% will and the number of estimated Pit Bulls alive and able to inflict these deadly bite. 1,000,000 verses the actual 16 that are involved? Come on man!!
C- I clearly said One fatal attack was too many.
D- It doesn't matter that the number is 50%+ in favor of the Pits when you compare the actual numbers of fatal dog bites with the actual number of available dogs to provide those fatal dog bites. Besides I never once said that the Pit Bull did not occupy the number one spot. I understand that the odds of being fatally bitten is higher when it involves a Pit but the odds are miniscule that any one Pit Bull is going to attack you and inflict a fatal bite. You contend that "most will", I contend that, based on the Numbers, they won't. Over 2 million(lowest estimate available) are alive and well in the US and they are NOT running around killing people. If they were those numbers would but sky high.
In conclusion, as the "Numbers Game" goes. Your argument won't stand the test of "the Numbers" and is found to be false.
Kill all of them that get close enough to you if you must but don't come in here and throw some wild statement around as say its the Numbers Game that makes them dangerous. Just be truthful and say that you hate them for charging you your kids and for biting your friends. Isn't that a good enough reason.
