@kellydyer1961 Yep. Regardless of the cause, face of the child is disfigured by the pit bull and pit bull mix way too often. I don't see cocker spaniels, golden retrievers, or Weimaraners on the list. A friend was a great dog owner but when her pit mix bit 3 people randomly it had to be downed.
@kellydyer1961 Yes, I have a lot to learn. I was not fully aware of just how dangerous pit bulls are so I have just spent some time doing additional research. Thank you for motivating me to learn more @kellydyer1961 . I feel more well-versed now in the inherent dangers of pitbulls/pitbull-mixes
@kellydyer1961 From 2010 to October 2023, there were 478 fatal dog bites, with 196 of those coming from pit bulls, and another 49 that were pit bull mixes.
60% had pit bull in their bloodlines (either full-blooded or mix)
7% had Rottweiler in their bloodline
4% had German shepherd in bloodline.
@kellydyer1961 Pitbulls are responsible for 60% of all injuries and 63% of ocular injuries. Pitbull attacks have higher morbidity rates, higher hospital charges, & higher risk of death than attacks by other breeds. 2005-17, pit bulls killed 1 citizen every 16.7 days, totaling up to 284 in USA.
@GWADream3 @i_heart__bikes@sharrond62@outsidemagazine Right on! It is so infuriating to be labeled as "anti-trans" when I am in fact "pro fairness for women and girls in sports". I am also supportive of trans rights. Those rights however do not including infringing on the rights of women to set records, compete fairly, earn prize $.
@Outkick@Riley_Gaines_ I still so disappointed she missed that penalty shot at the 2023 World Cup. Going deep into the tournament with a mediocre team would have been a "storybook ending" to her career.
@icons_women@usacycling It is quite simple to achieve inclusivity. Include only those born as males in the Men or Open category and include only biological females in the Women category. Everyone gets to race! @usacycling
