The home secretary is seeking "urgent advice" about banning American XL Bully dogs as footage shows one of the animals attacking an 11-year-old girl and a man in Birmingham. Suella Braverman has said the animals are a "clear and lethal" danger after the video of the attack in Bordesley Green emerged on the social media platform TikTok. West Midlands Police are investigating after two men, who were bitten and left with injuries to their shoulders and arms, were taken to hospital to be treated for their injuries after the incident on Saturday.
You aren’t citing any studies. Even if you did cite a study, you won’t find one that isn’t based on news reports, and guess what? News reports are problematic because the media likes clickbait and fearmongers in order to get clicks and views, even as far back as the 1970s and 1980s. There is a documented history of the media misidentifying dog breeds, overreporting certain breed attacks, and underreporting others. That means the entire basis of your argument is not based on reality or truth because there is no reliable source. Your views are informed by media narrative that originated in the 1970s and 1980s and that has reinforced itself through folks like you repeating platitudes and anecdotes. It’s the same type of thinking that enforces racism and racist views. Actually, don’t you find it interesting that the same dogs preferred by people of color were painted as vicious beasts by the media? It’s almost like that was intentional.
Myself, I’d rather listen to experts like those at the CDC or the Humane Society, which dismiss this type of thinking.
I don’t feel like digging up the study I read a little while back, it was reviewed paper based on hospitalization data for dog bites, and I honestly don’t give a shit if you believe me because nothing will change your mind about that shit breed.
And pits contaminate every breed they touch, pit mutts are violent unpredictable shits too, and are the result of most of the non-pit attacks out there.
And fuck off with the racist claims, everyone I know who owns a pit is white as fuck.
