1. And to think, people constantly

defend pit bulls. It's not as though we read of dachshunds or collies or french poodles doing this. Pit bulls are dangerous. Yeah, not all of them, just as there are plenty of gun owners who don't go on a killing rampage. But what virtually all of the mauled or killed by a dog stories have in common is the breed.

2. Not all tigers are man-eaters

and not all great white sharks attack humans.
And not all venomous snakes bite humans.
But it is a wise policy to stay away from all of them, and I would include known dangerous dog breeds as well.

4. Thank you

Actually, all breeds of dog bite and maul. In the US, 800,000 people per year visit the ER for treatment of dog bites and attacks. The majority are children.

Pit bulls are the worst, having been bred to fight and kill.

5. Agree...these dogs have been bred to kill. That instinct is not something that can always be

Controlled.

Sad..but a fact that shouldn’t be overlooked.

the biggest lie dog owners believe is that dogs can be trained to not want to do things they were specifically bred to do.

9. I own a pit bull

She's sixteen years old now. Never had a problem with aggression, including around children.

Just an FYI.

Google "most aggressive dog breeds." You may be surprised at the results.

3. Horrifying! It was the son's dog and the son died a couple of weeks ago.

It will be hard for that husband to survive all this.

11. Maybe why the dog snapped.

7. Oh, my! I knew her!

Marina was a part time pianist at a NYC ballet school where I’ve worked. She was a lovely lady and a fine pianist.

What a tragedy!
