Yes, and did you know that when ice cream sales are the highest, the rate of drownings is also at its peak? Obviously ice cream cause people to drown.
Labs and Goldens are some of the most popular dogs, naturally there will be a *correlation* between those breeds and bites. When you factor in breed populations however, you'll see that on a per-dog basis, Pitbulls and Rottweilers are profoundly more dangerous than any other breed.

How is looking at basic statistics "closed-minded"? How is reading Centers for Disease Control's per-reviewed Morbidity and Mortality Report, filling my mind with "garbage".
I'm simply stating undisputed facts. If you care to believe in the fantasy of peaceful and safe pitbulls, that's your choice. I hope you have a boat-load of insurance.

Umm....have you seen how popular Pitties and Rotties are? They are almost as popular as Labs. The one difference is bad owners are more likely going to own a Rottie or a Pittie than a Lab or a Golden, thus, making the dogs aggresive.
And have you seen how much he!! a PitBull goes through?
Hmmm...let's see...here is a pic that might shake your mind:
If you looked like that, I'm sure you'd bite a couple of people too. Oh, but wait a minute....she isn't biting people. She is loving them to death. Real big shocker huh? (This lovely gal is avalible for adoption in IL. [Don't worry, she looks TONS better now and is ready for adoption] Here is a link to her:Liberty )
And hey Golden...maybe you should give this link a try:
Caution: PG-13 content. The Truth About PitBulls.
If that doesn't open your mind, nothing will. And maybe the first part of that video might just show you the kind of he!! those dogs do go through.
I don't like it when people start critizizing Pit Bulls, but what I hate even more is when they refuse to listen to what other people are saying, and refuse to except that there are good Pitties out there.
Some other links you should check out:
www.badrap.org
www.furryfriendsfoundation.com
www.dogfancy.com (go to the breed profiles and click on American Pit Bull Terrier)

You make me sick. And yes, just looking at "basic statistics" is close minded because you aren't listening to people who have had first hand experience with these dogs.
How many PitBulls have you met? Huh? I've met one, and do you know what it did to me and my 5 year old sister, my mom, and my 1 1/2 year old cousin? It licked us to death. OMG, call the cops! That PitBull is licking us!
Ya, really mean dog there.
Golden, it is people like you that make me sad. You don't know what you are missing out on. You refuse to listen to anybody, and so these wonderful dogs suffer the price from you, and from the rest of the ignorant world. I actually pity you. You don't know what you are missing.

According to the AKA, Labs are the #1 most popular breed.
Pitbulls are .... 68th, one place above the ever popular Portuguese Water Dog.

Um, don't you mean AKC? And a newsflash for you: Pitties are registered with the AKC as American Staffordshire Terriers. NOT American Pit Bull Terriers. Tell me how many dogs are registered with the UKC and the other PitBull registeries out there.
And one other thing. Everybody knows that it is harder to find a rare dog in shelters, right? Well, take a look at www.petfinder.com . See how many Pittes are in the shelters? See how many Labs are in the shelters?
Let's compare them....
PitBulls: 6681
Labradors: 12466
Goldens: 2466
Hmmm....and Golden Retrievers are supposed to be popular aren't they? Of course, this isn't intirely reliable, because dogs do get mis-indentified.
(Oh, and Golden, did you even look at the things I showed you?)
