Post all the" statistics/myths" that you like....the multiple daily hateful obsessions are duly noted (for the dogs, as well)...breed/type specific laws are being changed and bans are being lifted all the time...including here...
Such hate is not healthy;(

Do you mean "assess"?
I posted in another thread about the dog that my youngest daughter's s.i.l. had. It was a pit bull gotten from a shelter. When my daughter was going back to work after maternity leave, her s.i.l. offered to take care of my g-daughter. I was 100% against it due to that dog. We even offered to send her money so that she could afford a real day care instead. But they were so afraid of hurting the s.i.l.'s feelings they chose to have her take care of the baby. I was sick with worry. A week before her maternity leave ended, the dog attacked two ppl and bit them severely -- a delivery person and the next-door neighbor. The dog was taken away and returned to where it came from, and eventually put down.
So much for the assessment.

There are multiple problems with the studies..and no less dogs, especially puppies...
...until people responsibly spay and neuter their pets...Most communities are working hard on that..all adopted/fostered pups are fixed before they leave with a new owner...
"Stories" for every occasion....always....
More "stories"...
Think our toxic friend will see herself in this mirror?

Pit bull owners ::
Studies show that pit bull owners employ strategies to disguise the true nature of the breed by engaging in distortions, denial and overcompensation and by projecting blame after attacks.
Not normal dog owners
To understand the experience of owning a negatively perceived dog, Tufts Center for Animals and Public Policy did a case study on pit bull owners that was published in 2000. Researchers found that with "outlaw" breeds, such as pit bulls, the human-dog relationship is sociologically more complex than previously known. Owners of pit bulls, they discovered, directly feel the stigma targeted at their breed and resort to various tactics to mitigate it. These strategies included:
"passing their dogs as breeds other than pit bulls, denying that their behavior is biologically determined, debunking adverse media coverage, using humor, emphasizing counter-stereotypical behavior, avoiding stereotypical equipment or accessories, taking preventive measures, or becoming breed ambassadors."1
The study is sympathetic to pit bull owners and makes unsourced claims, but does show the basis of pro-pit bull propaganda. Strategies identified by the researchers are the same strategies employed by pro-pit bull groups to stop a municipality from enacting a pit bull law. For instance, pit bull advocates will claim that a pit bull cannot be identified, that there is a media conspiracy against pit bulls and that pit bulls are "just big babies" that only want to "lick you to death."
