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.

Rules:

  1. Keep it civil.

  2. No advocating for violence.

  3. The sole goal for this comm is to ban pit bulls from every jurisdiction and to treat the remaining ones with respect while every caretaker follows the required safety precautions to keep everyone safe. Dog breeds with documented health issues should also be stopped from being forcibly bred into this world.

  4. No pit bull advocate gaslighting. Though good faith debates are allowed.

Dogsbite.org is routinely slandered by the pro-pit lobby, but the site is informative and its data collection procedures are transparent and well-documented.

He claims he was at a friend’s house when a pit bull him in the face.

Missing a verb there…

“I kept trying to find the owner, and then someone on Facebook, because I didn’t know the house I was at at the time, so someone on Facebook told me, like, you know, this is the house,” says Jamison.

So he was at a friends house but he didn’t know where he was. … Riiiiight.
