At criminal hands, pit bulls are trained by brutal methods to fight other dogs to death. Taunting, beating and starvation are common, complete lack of socialization (being kept in garages, backyards, abandoned buildings) further exacerbates the situation. There was one instance in which the dog had metal bottle caps sewn under the skin of his neck to ensure he was in constant pain resulting in vicious behavior. I wonder how friendly you would be if you had to endure any of the cruel mistreatment that these poor dogs are put through?

Although there are no accurate or even near accurate census records for dogs in the U.S., in some populations pit bulls are estimated to comprise some 30-40% of the dog population, making it by FAR the most popular breed
There is an estimated approximately 10,600,000 pit bulls in our society. The average Number of people killed by a Pit Bull each year is 3. It can be estimated that for every Pit Bull who kills, there are 10.5 MILLION that DON'T. This country wants to ban/destroy 10.5 million innocent dogs for the actions of 0.94% of its category?

You are 60 times more likely to be killed by a falling coconut than a pit bull.

In your case you should worry more about Autonomic Nervous System Fuction failure as a cause of death than being attacked by a pit bull.

Hope that clarifies some things for you "SPARKY"
