Famous dog breeds discontent over infamous owners – Today In BC
I say easily because smaller pit bulls can kill a man as well. Do you remember Eddie Cahill, the healthy 40-year-old man who was mauled to death by his own beloved pit bull on Christmas Day? His death, and the deaths and severe injuries of thousands of others—many of whom were children—should not be forgotten.
Despite the statistically high numbers of serious and fatal dog bites coming from pit bulls compared to other breeds, they do not all attack. In fact, the majority don’t.
But like several other breeds, they have the capability to kill, so they require a much greater level of diligence and accountability on the part of their owners to make sure they are trained and treated properly.
Any responsible owner of a dangerous breed would agree, yet people continue to purchase dogs they can’t handle that later end up in shelters or get euthanized.
