Ban PitBulls

Dog bite severity varies by the breed of dog, and studies have found that pit bull–type dogs have both a high rate of reported bites and a high rate of severe injuries, compared to other non–pit bull–type dogs.

Pit bull–type dogs are extensively used in the United States for dogfighting, a practice that has continued despite being outlawed. Several nations and jurisdictions restrict the ownership of pit bull–type dogs through breed-specific legislation.

Thank you! People want to completely absolve pitbulls of the traits that were forced upon them over the generations.

Pitbulls are responsible for 66.9% of deaths.

It’s unbelievable how it’s still controversial to ban the breed.
