Our mom stumbled across a horrible web site today that is totally anti-pitbull. She didn't stay on it long, but what she did see was terrible. They are all for BSL and they have a pitbull myths page that says that pit bulls have locking jaws..with links to videos of pits on spring poles. They also say it is a myth that pits are not all aggressive...it is a myth that a pit is a good family dog and it is a myth that pitties have been given a bad rap by the media etc..

Basically it made her mad and she wondered if anyone else had seen it? Its called www.dogsbite.org...I hope that not many people see it and that it goes out fo business...quickly!frown

Colleen Lynn the founder of this site is well known in dog circles around the Seattle area. She was instrumental in having several dogs parks shut down and is an anti-dog crusader. Her site posts the worst of the urban legends masqueraded as facts. Sad.

She must have a very sad life...if she has nothing better to do than condemn creatures who have done her no harm.

She actually paid to have an aerial survey done by helicopter of the dog parks and said they needed to be closed because dog pee was killing the grass...in a fenced in dog park!!!!!

ugh...that is hideous...we would not want dog pee to ruin the green green grass!!! What good is grass if you can't play or watch a dog enjoy rolling in it?

Apparently these pit bull owners don't have a TV, have never read a newspaper, and have never talked to a single human being about the type of dog they own.

The above comes from the site.....can you say stereotype??


I go to that site sometime just for a good laugh, it's sad that there are people in this world like that, but I guess ignorance is ignorance.

"73% of attacks to children
83% of attack to adults"

Now my question is how 73% of attacks are on children and then 83% of attacks are on adults?? How does that work?

Maybe she thinks pit bulls are superhuman capable of biting more than 100% of the people in a single bound.

U.S. Population / Fatal Dog Attacks

Year Human Population Dog Population # Fatal Dog Attacks
1950 - 151 million people - 20-22 million dogs - 10 fatal attacks
1970 - 203 million people - 31 million dogs - 12 fatal attacks
1980 - 226 million people - 40 million dogs - 15 fatal attacks
2000 - 281 million people - 60+ million dogs - 19 fatal attacks

In any given year you are more likely to die in your own bathtub, be killed on your bicycle, or die falling off your own roof. In any given years 1500 children will be killed by a parent, and thousands of people will be murdered, hundreds of thousands will be the injured as victims of violent crime.

The information you gave Dutch is a great tool, we use it as a power point presentation when going into cities considering BSL. That and the ID the Pit.

You would be surprised, well you wouldn't but you know what I'm saying how people react to that information, it seems for some reason thousands are getting attacked and others can't ID a Pit if it bit them in the butt.
