Pit BS

     Sorry, but putting pretty flowers on the heads of pit bulls may make them look cute, but they are still killers.

Here is photographer Sophie Gamand's online page with more of the pitts dressed up to look harmless.

Here are some pit bull attack victims:

 
     Pit Bulls are at the top of dog bite statistics...and it is the WAY they attack that makes them so dangerous. From the website www.dogbite.org:

Depending upon the community in which you live and the ratio of pit bulls within it, yes and no. But whether a pit bull bites more or less than another dog breed is not the point. The issue is the acute damage a pit bull inflicts when it does choose to bite. The pit bull's "hold and shake" bite style causes severe bone and muscle damage, often inflicting permanent and disfiguring injury. Moreover, once a pit bull starts an attack, firearm intervention may be the only way to stop it.
When analyzing dog bite statistics, it is important to understand what constitutes a bite. A single bite -- recorded and used in dog bite statistics -- is a bite that "breaks the skin." One bite by a poodle that leaves two puncture wounds is recorded the same way as a pit bull mauling, which can constitute hundreds of puncture wounds and extensive soft tissue loss. Despite the "quagmire" of dog bite statistics, pit bulls are leading bite counts across U.S. cities and counties.1

     Maybe we need to put flowers on the pit bull bite victims to make them look pretty too?
