Forget aggressiveness scales. Maybe chihuahuas are more aggressive but who cares they can only tickle your ankles.

Here’s a chart for dog related deaths by breed. You tell me which dog is most dangerous.

Pit bulls account for the vast majority of deaths by dog, 66% while only accounting for just over 6% of the dog population. And wouldn’t surprise me at all to find out that #4 on the list “mixed breed” wasn’t often some pit mix.

There is in fact a scale developed that shows aggression in various breeds

This is the dumbest argument that gets repeated over and over.

what about a list of killings. Where do pitbulls rank on that scale?

You're right - chihuahas and dachshunds are the most aggressive. But you understand the difference, right?

Did anyone read the article? 4 out of the 5 dogs are NOT PITBULLS

Yep, and one was. Just another in a long line of stories in the recent weeks

In the context of recent events it’s completely appropriate.

That’s false. Huskies are responsible for more bites per dog breed. Plus

Pits are the most deadly breed. The chart I posted above shows deadliest dogs by breed and accounts for the other breeds

We have a lot of employees get bit by dogs when they’re in a customers home. The most common breed has been pit bulls.

I don't understand the pitbull narrative. 4 of the 5 dogs weren't pitbulls.
