i know...the pitbull may be number one on the fatality list, but its not like thats the bite list...just the list of how fatal the bites are...pitbulls have worse bites than other dogs because they have the ability to shred flesh with their back teeth while there jaw is clamped down...they can also exert 2000 pounds per square inch pressure plus! they used to say the wolf had the third strongest jaw in the world with 1500 pounds of pressure...well, look out wolf! and why dont ppl condemn other dogs? why just pitties? in statistics, rottwiellers are the mostly likely to attack and r number two on the bite fatality list, and german shepherds are number 3 on the list, and cause 80% of the worlds teritorrially-linked bites....why are they allowed to be so popular and ppl have this grudge against pitbulls? i wish ppl would just take it as it goes, and leave all the inocent dogs alone...what about golden retrievers? (not to be of any insult to the ppl who own these breeds lol...trust me i love them all) i have read and even seen on the news that cocker spaniels and golden rerievers are some of the nippiest dogs, yet they r seen as wonderful family dogs...all breeds of dogs should be valued as family dogs....
