I know one thing, I won't s#!t on Tuesdays if it is raining.
I've witnessed this conversation: Bite victim: I was bitten by a dog Nurse: Why kind of dog was it? BV: I don't know. Nurse: What did it look like? BV: It was big and black, that's all I can say Nurse: Did it have a big, square head? BV: I don't really know. Nurse: Could it have been a pit bull? BV: It could have been. Nurse: I'll mark it down as a pit.
WOW... i need to drop out of this thread, it is beyond disrespectful to discount the expertise of someone who has dedicated their life to a profession, I mean if this is the case, why listen to doctors on what drugs should be banned and what shouldn't, why listen to any expert that has spent their life studying any subject.
Well, that's one reason the nurse isn't a Dr.
So, what arbitrary percentage of the accused PB and "PB mix" attacks end in this kind of vagary?
I bet it's higher than you think. How many stories and studies have been done on the faulty memory of victims? A lot of people aren't that educated on dog breeds. And depending on the severity of the bite the victim may not be in a critical recollecting mood. Was the man that attacked you Chinese, Japanese, or Korean?
Of course, except I would say stats not facts.Likewise, how many times was a PB mistaken for a Lab? There's just no way to tell. It's all anecdotal. Until someone takes all of these studies and breaks down each case these are the facts we have to go off of. Surely you can grant me that.
