[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 2349914, member: 8119"] I think Pit bull owners and Rottweiler owners should be held to higher safety and accountability requirements. (i.e. higher insurance requirements, taller fences, etc.) Here's a statistical review covering OVER 20 YEARS of dog bites. The study records the breed, if it's purebred or mix, and (inherently over 20 years) also covers many types of owners (good/bad/mediocre). The statistics are interesting/surprising. The DATA indicates that Pit Bulls and Rotts account for significantly more bites/fatalities - even though they account for less than 7% of dog population (Pitt/Rott combined).

So please provide your *STUDY DATA* to justify your position. That doesn't mean every Pit/Rott is bad, but there is a **significantly** higher probability that something may go wrong.
