You don't even know the dog.

52: OP probably said it to give us a sense of what kind of dog it is because there's a big difference between running away from a yorkie versus a pitbull.

I got bit by a Maltese on my hand and face when I was 5, had stitches and 25 years later I still have scars. Any dog can bite.

Very true,but when a bigger dog bits you are more likely to end up in the hospital.

Agreed. I have a pit too and she's scared of her own shadow. Wouldn't hurt a fly.

You're an ignorant ****.

If you want to go by damage, basically every large dog would be outlawed. Of course you hear more about pit bulls, people are already against them and plaster any dog that attacks up that has any similarity or characteristics of one up trying to defend their dumbass views.

You're ridiculous, you don't write off an entire group/breed because of a FEW bad incidents. "I don't even know why people defend [Americans] anymore. Look how many [Americans] are responsible for deaths around the world and in the US. How many more people have to die or be severely [shot] to death before people realize they're not good people? If you insist on having [Americans] around, at least make sure they're properly contained and unable to do harm. I just got done watching some nasty [American] attack videos. You should see the damage they've done to other people and countries. Don't even try to say that [terrorists] are more aggressive. It's not how ******* aggressive they are, it's about how much damage they can do when they ARE aggressive. Look at the world's severe mass fatalities, comparatively [terrorist groups] are less likely to do severe damage than America. And if a [terrorist group] was attacking you, simple chatter monitoring, and self defence planning, could diminish them. Try getting an army of 2 million to back off. In one video, people protested against America, retaliated, and exposed atrocities, but they still won't keep to themselves." This all sounds pretty ridiculous doesn't it? Just writing off a whole country and group of people because of a few incidents and some stereotypes, which when applied to the majority are completely false. Well that's how stupid everything you said sounds. You don't look at a group with 1 similar characteristic and say "well I've seen a number of bad incidents, so they all must be terrible." If you do this, it just shows your own ignorance. * just want to be clear my use of America wasn't an attack, only used it as a stand in example. I have nothing against the country or its people.

More importantly, the American pit bull terrier is a small to medium sized dog averaging 30-60 pounds. Anything over 60 isn't an apbt. And in actual studies up to 80% of breed labels in bite cases were incorrect. Less than 0.001% of pit bull type dogs, let alone actual pit bulls, will ever bite anyone and significantly less than 100 people are killed every year. So, there are many things, including vending machines, that pose larger public safety risks.

I am an American and have not shot or killed ANYONE! Do not generalize the Americans on account of their corrupt govt. I for one am glad we have freedoms the European are unfortunately without. Trump will change the bad rap the Americans have endured.

it's how they are raised or in which environment they are born in. most of the time it's a bad one and that what makes them like that

So nice dogs are forced from their owners and typically killed for being born a certain breed

I guess they should also ban labradors, since they're in on of the breed that bites the most world wide, but you don't hear about labradors killing people because they have that reputation of good family dog. When a labrador sends a kid to hospital, it's "the parents fault" right ? And "they should have watched their kids better" but when it's a pitbull, "omg bad dog they're so evil" right ?? A pitbull is a dog, it sees like a dog, thinks like a dog. And the one in this FML isn't psycho and surely isn't aggressive at all. Or else OP wouldn't have even reached the actual door.
