“Pay no attention to the 500 Dead Humans...According to experts, dog aggression is not the same as human aggression!"
Those are some of the common, idiotic and worthless platitudes from the Dog Fighters and Pit breeders desperate to keep the blood money pumping in. The FatalPitBullattacks.com website documents an ever-growing tally of nearly 400 US Pit Bull Dog Bite Related Fatalities (DBRFs). The compilation below contains 120 Pit Bull DBRFs from outside the United States. When combined with the US body count, over 500 humans have been killed by Pit Bulls. Currently, there is no movement within the Pit Bull Breeding Community to produce and sell a safer Pit Bull.
