Read this if you have dogs and little ones in your house

pit bulls make great family pets, and in my opinion are the best breed for families with kids.

It must take a huge dose of self-delusion to make that statement, considering…

Pitbulls and Rottweilers make up 77% of all fatal dog bites, despite making up only 6% of the U.S. dog population

Pitbulls are 2.5x more likely to bite in multiple anatomical locations than other breeds.

Pitbulls are responsible for 60% of all injuries and 63% of ocular injuries.

Pitbull terriers are 31% more likely to attack an unknown individual than other breeds

Pitbull terriers are 48% more likely to attack without provocation than other breeds

Pitbull attacks have higher morbidity rates, higher hospital charges, and a higher risk of death than attacks by other breeds.

During 2005-2017, pit bulls killed one citizen every 16.7 days, totaling up to 284 Americans. Rottweilers killed over 105 days during that time period.

From 2005 to 2017, Rottweiler and Pitbull attacks contributed to 76% of dog bite deaths.

Who knows what greta things you’ll be capable of if you direct that mental energy in other directions!
