I didn't quote anything, again, you are misrepresenting. I just linked the article for the info it has on deaths. Because that was the discussion that was taking place. This response here is barely English and doesn't really make sense. What semantics am I hiding behind? We were discussing something, you came in and expanded that discussion and tried to cast aspersions on the comments that came before you based on this new expanded focus. That's a bunch of fucking crap. You're no bro. No bro at all.
Deaths and injuries are, as I see it, two different discussions. The injuries report that the CDC did details quite a lot of incidents, the vast majority minor. The serious injuries are a concern, but wouldn't they always be? The same entity says that no one breed is any more likely than another to actually attack.

I have been attacked more times in my life by a Retriever / Lab / insert family "friendly" dog here because it was poorly trained then I have been growing up with 3 Dobermans, my aunts 2 Rottweilers, my step sisters Pitt, or my two Sibes one of which I mentioned is a wolf cross the shelter rescued from north of Sudbury, Ontario (which is way the fuck north).
By the way a retriever can do MAJOR damage as well

But what the hell right, they are just leg humping retards when badly trained so whats to be scared of. If Pitt's were not mis sterotyped in the media noone would think anyhtign different of them then any other dog. ANY dog can be trained to inflict major damage, a Pitt isn't any MORE likely to attack someone unless they are abused

Talk about misrepresentation. The comment for the article says
Precisely the opposite of what you're saying.CDC Dog Bite: Fact Sheet_sl said:
Death and injuries are two different outcomes of the same problem, one more severe than the other - dogs and their nature. Separating them to further your case does not really do anything for the primary cause - dogs are animals whom have instincts and they can cause harm. Keeping them away from babies and children would be common sense. Sadly the CDC statistics state that numb nut dog whisperers don't.
How about you read the other article linked on the same page?

Dogs are dangerous. Those whom are mostly affected are those whom are not able to fend for themselves - children and the elderly. Keep dogs away from them. You'd think that would be common sense.
Let me ask an open question:
If the fault is with the owner, then why is it that a dog is put down for biting and not the owner?

Good to see you have some hefty arguments on your side. Right up there with the intellectual prowess of your average steroid junkie.

Now you're engaging in hyperbole and being a faggot. And, again, a faggot whois not saying anything I disagree with. Except that stupid shit you tacked on there at the end. Why the fuck do you think the owner isn't executed for his dog biting someone? Goddamn liberals, I guess.

It's been a while but I've wrestled down dogs, rescued fighting dogs, etc. They're just dogs. Don't be a pussy, Tucobro.
I've been bitten but never full on attacked by some crazy rabid/vicious dog, I'll bet that would be scary. I'll also bet that rarely ever happens. but if it did and you were unable to hurt/scare the dog off from attacking you I'm sure it could cause serious damage.

I worked in a veterinary office for a little over a year here on the shitty end of town. In addition to being on the shitty end of town, we had free office hours a couple times a week, so something like 75% of the animals we treated were Pits. Despite having worked with hundreds of pit bulls, and as a large dude working in a vets office full of chicks I was always called in to help restrain when a dog was hard to control, I was never bitten. In fact, the closest I ever came to being bitten by a dog was by a boxer and a german shepherd respectively, and I received a cat bite nasty enough that I ended up having to go to the hospital for it.
You guys going on about how scary pit bulls are are either ignorant or pussies.

I edited it to say, but never really full on attacked. I've had one give me a pretty nasty bite on the arm but I punched him in the face until he ran back enough to catch him. He was a fighting dog that some retard had been beating to toughen him up and apparently turned when they tried to blood him so they were going to put him down. Pretty severe abuse. The natural state of a dog is being obedient to people, attacking a person is an aberration.

When did this thread become about adults and their ability to wrestle dogs? What happened to children and dogs? As per OP's pics. How is it relevant if anyone can take down a dog if a baby clearly cannot. CDC statistics state those whom dog injure and kill most - more than half of the time - are children. Just curious as to your rationale.
Also why is it you all focus on deaths - injury is bad as well and are far, far more common.

Well I'm pretty sure pits are much more of an American culture thing. But even if pits are responsible for the most maulings and fatalities in America out of all the dog breeds, I would chalk it up to pits being popular among people who make irresponsible, neglectful, or abusive dog owners before I would attribute it to pits being an especially dangerous breed.

I don't see what the argument is. Clearly the OP used bad judgement laying a newborn down with a dog (doesn't matter the breed). There are much more safe and sane ways to acclimate a dog to a new addition to the family.
That being said, I'd be more worried about a cat in the house, especially a female one, with a newborn.

Why can't it be both? You know those irresponsible, neglectful, abusive individuals are drawn to pits and Dobermans and Rotts for a reason right? The popularity isn't because the media tells them to pick those dogs, its clear which is the chicken and which is the egg. Some breeds are just better suited towards making a mean motherfucker out of. They aren't choosing toy poodles...
