Posted by: Emily Location: Heights on Nov 27, 2009 at 06:05 PM To FoffColleenLynn: I believe the website that "Anonymous" posted was www.dogbitelaw.com, not dogsbite.org. Also, try typing "dog bite statistics" into your web browser and see what you come up with before you start being ugly and calling names. And pitpackcom, how do you know how Clifton Merritt gathers his research???? Do you know him??? DogBiteLaw is run by a lawyer that makes a living off of the fears of people relative to dog bites. Do you really think that is a credible source for information on dog bites? As for the Clifton report; the first line says, "Compiled by the editor of ANIMAL PEOPLE from press accounts ..." YOu would have known this had you taken the time to actually read the report rather than blindly accept what you read on DogsBite and other propaganda sites.

The sad thing is that this probably wasnt even a pit bull, but some terrier mix, or any other breed for that matter, that they wanted to be a pit bull. And now theres more ignorant anger and prejudice spreading as a result.
