May 2025 bring truth and common-sense legislation to prevent more horrific maulings and fatalities from dangerous dogs.
Blame the endless pit bull propaganda being pushed on society over and over again through television, Hollywood celebrities, corporations, social media and humane organizations- the pit bull promoters, the “Pit Bull Lobby“. They tell us that pit bulls are “safe family pets”, “just like any other dog”, that “it’s the owner not, the breed “ and other falsities. What they don’t ever tell you is that pit bulls were bred for centuries to kill other dogs, and they have a genetic trait for unpredictable, explosive aggression, and that this breed type is responsible for the majority of severely disfiguring and fatal maulings of people, thousands of beloved pets and livestock every year. Pit bulls are the most dangerous animal in North America, responsible for more deaths than all other dog breeds combined and certainly responsible for more maiming and death than any wild animal causes.
2024 holds a record for carnage. Below is the current list of U.S. fatal dog attacks. It may be amended as information and reports emerge. It does not include the hundreds of non-fatal maulings.
