Pit Bulls MORE Dangerous than the AR15, Sending 84,276 Americans to the Hospital Annually, with 6,750 Needing Reconstructive Surgery
Unlike owning AR25s, Pit Bull ownership is not a constitutionally protected right
Pit Bulls are responsible for over 22.5% of all dog bits, with scientific research estimating put bulls send 84,276 Americans to the hospital annually.
Annually, Pit bulls send 6,750 Americans to the emergency room for reconstructive surgery annually.
According to injepijournal.biomedcentral.com, approximately 4.5 million individuals in the United States were bitten by dogs each year (Gilchrist et al. 2008). Of these, 19% necessitated medical attention. Between 2005 and 2013, there were an average of 337,103 visits to emergency departments (EDs) per year for dog bites (Loder 2019). In 2018, almost 27,000 individuals required reconstructive surgery owing to dog bites (American Society of Plastic Surgeons 2018).
In the year 2020, pit bulls accounted for over 72% of all dog-related fatalities.
While pit bulls disproportionately dominate statistics surrounding fatal and non-fatal dog-related hospital visits, their owners, as well as all major media institutions, mask the dangers surrounding the violent breed, suggesting the owners are responsible for not raising their pit bulls correctly.
If this were true, then what would that say about the people who own pit bulls, the same people apologizing for the extremely violent breed?
Let’s take a look at what non-pit bull owners have to say on the topic.
Pit bulls are so dangerous that pit bull apologists go to extreme lengths to portray them as harmless, taking “cute” photos and videos of them for social media.
These videos are then accrue thousands of likes from people attempting to refute the danger surrounding the breed.
Even the “cute pit bull” looks like it is staring at you like you’re a floating cartoon steak.
The next time you see a horrifying story of a pit bull mauling young children to death, be sure to play the “pit bull bingo” game to see how many pit bull apologists fall back on their statistically unsupported tropes.
