Since you’re using different statistics to compare and come to a conclusion, can I ask what you’re getting the “breed numbers” from? @[email protected] has been throwing around the dogbite site but I wouldn’t go off that number.

Breed survey 2019: more puppies, yet fewer homes for pit bulls, by Merritt Clifton, Animals 24-7, July 9, 2019 (animals24-7.org). The most recent calculation by the nonprofit was completed in July 2019. Breed populations are determined annually by searching classified ad listings of dogs for sale. The last 3-year average of the total pit bull population is 8% (8.0% in 2017, 8.0% in 2018 and 7.9% in 2019) and the 10-year cumulative average (2010 to 2019) is 5.8% | View chart

Even all the things I’m seeing online like the American Kennel club don’t actually track realistic numbers

Every year the American Kennel Club releases our ranking of the most popular dog breeds based on AKC registration statistics for the previous year.

It just kinda gets worse from there

According to the AVMA, 23% of dog owners acquired their dogs from breeders, while only 7% of cat owners did.

According to ASPCA, almost 40% of dog owners and 46% of cat owners got their pets from word of mouth. U.S. households get dogs and kitties from these sources:

Shelters 23% and 31%
Friends/Family 20% and 28%
Breeders 34% and 3%
Stray pets 6% and 27%
Private 12% and 6%
Other sources, 32% and 39%

So I doubt you’re getting accurate numbers since the data just isn’t tracked. Just like all of these “facts”, it’s being heavily skewed and misrepresented. Hell, even EMpricorn’s “INSURANCE WEBSITE link” (it’s literally a fucking ad for pet insurance) just outright dismisses all this shit with the back and forth word salad

Abuse and mistreatment can play a large role in a dog’s aggression, and pit bulls are often subjected to such conditions. In situations like this, dogs learn to be aggressive and will bite humans as a result. However, studies have shown that pit bulls’ aggression is largely due to their living conditions, and they aren’t necessarily naturally dangerous dogs.

While many pit bulls can be held responsible for dog bites, it’s also worth noting that their reputation makes people quick to blame the breed. Other dog breeds have similar physical features as pit bulls, so people assume that’s what they are.

Have you, as a foreigner, been caught up by the American political-polarization bug^tm!? Here are a few warning signs that you may be affected.

• Do you find yourself often injecting “left-wing” or “right-wing” into titles?
• Do you have a perceived notion that anything negative being said must involve a certain political party?
• Do you feel the need to bring Trump up in a post that has nothing to do with him?
• Do you find yourself in the comments blaming “sides” without having read the article or watched the video?
• Have you found yourself demanding answers or change that’s addressed in the post? (he literally brings up Dahl as his first example)

If you suspect that you or a loved one suffer from this syndrome, please turn off the devices and go outside.

lol I think this is my favorite crazy comment in here. You’ve literally taken on the persona of an old country and decreed you can judge because of your history. Not that you’re just a human being who probably hasn’t done shit-fuck for the country in your lifetime, but please keep taking credit for… I don’t even know what.

Jesus that’s sad. Everyone holding your hand trying to walk you down this path of actually learning about how research and science is performed and how to look into a source and you still just decide to spew nonsense.

I hope you learn to walk on your own one day. Don’t stop reading and looking into sources just because you found something you like. All of your shit is crappy research that the authors conclude is bad data. It’s why the precious dogbite.org focuses on a 1970-99 cdc study, a media review study for statistics slaps forehead.

It’s obvious this meme brought in a lot of people who love to classify “undesirables” and a few willing to put up with the misinformation to actually try and teach someone how to do proper research without just “believing” from a few misquoted or misguided articles. I saw at least one person doing the work and realized your links and claims were bullshit so something was accomplished I suppose.

would the smaller queen lay smaller eggs and thus smaller face huggers though?

I always get confused for a few moments when I see these dog breed/ghetto hatred comments, but then I realize it’s just steeped in closeted racism/classism. It’s really sad.

edit: should check out @[email protected]’s comment here. Basically has done the work and narrates what someone actually researching and looking at studies would find if you do it correctly.
