    I’m not going to get into it with you, but I would recommend reading a book called “Pitbull: Battle over an American Icon” by Brownen Dickey. She does have an entire section on dogsbite.org.

    dogsbite.org is run by a Colleen Lynn. Colleen’s only real experience with the matter is that she successfully sued someone over a dog bite. She has no statistics or veterinary credentials, yet on her page, she tries to cite studies from the experts that do in order to appear more reputable… kind of like you’re doing. However, she draws very different conclusions than those experts indicating she’s cherry-picking the data to suit her own biases… kind of like you’re doing.

    I’m sorry but when the CDC, American Veterinary Medical Association, American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, Association of Professional Dog Trainers, etc, etc all draw different conclusions and oppose breed-specific legislation, it’s hard to give much weight to a site like dogsbite.org, who’s owner has a bias based on her personal experience and has financially benefited from the dog bite issue in the courts.

    If you want more, go ahead and read the book, but that’s it from me. Have a nice day, you won’t hear from me again on the matter.

      Then show me one from any of these sources that prove that pitbulls are not per-capita the top of the list in any category.

      dogsbite.org is run by a Colleen Lynn.

      Couldn’t care less… It was hosting the paper I was interested in showing. Have you read it? https://www.dogsbite.org/pdf/level-1-trauma-center-studies-dog-bite-injuries-2011-2022.pdf

      So out of all of these experts and studies… how many of these are wrong? Why do ALL of these studies continue to find the same information then if supposedly the sources you put trust in have proven otherwise? Also I’ve yet to see ANY data from any of your supposed sources here… from anyone… Nobody of the 3-4 of you saying that pit bulls are perfectly fine animals the CDC says so… has linked me anything showing that they say that.
