Pitbulls

[Goosebump]

I do believe it is my thread... so the burden of... well "fuck off" is on you sir. As in, stop reading / replying to it.

IF this is a place of science then science should matter and not just google searches.

In this study, pitbull-type dogs were misidentified 60% of the time (62 were visually identified as pitbull-type dogs but only 25 had DNA signatures from any of the pitbull-type breeds). Therefore, this study determined that the majority (60%) of dogs identified as pitbull-type dogs do not have DNA signatures from any of the four pitbull-type breeds.

I think here if anywhere, the ability and efficacy of the human witness is in question.

In this study, the majority (152 of 244 or 62%) of dogs with pitbull-type DNA had less than a 50% DNA concentration from pitbull-type ancestry. Therefore, this study determined that of the 40% of dogs labeled as "pitbulls" that actually have pitbull-type DNA (study #1), the majority (62%) of these dogs have less than a 50% DNA concentration from pitbull-type ancestry.

The DNA evidence in scientific studies reveals that the breed information for the vast majority of bite-related incidents (including fatal attacks) attributed to pitbull-type dogs is inaccurate and not reliable. Instead, the scientific data and DNA information validates that the majority of dogs implicated in these incidents are in fact non-pitbull type breeds or numerous different mixed breeds that have been misidentified as "pitbulls" or pitbull-type dogs.

You brought up sharks, completely ignorant comparison.

The studies you posted do not address bites or attacks, more ignorance.

not saying you didn't read it... but it says clearly... to requote it:

I don't know how to make it clearer. Please help me to do so as I lack the capacity to see how much clearer I can be than the above statement made by a scientific reporter reporting on science.
