By that logic, why does 535 look like more than 3/4s of 3397? Because it’s not the easiest to show the accurate scale of 3397 versus 535 on an infographic and not have to figure out how to display a 12000x1500 pixel image in such a way you can still read it. It’s not a conspiracy, just lame formatting. Chill.
It would really funny if black folk decided to make it something stupid.
Bunch of rap videos with blinged out Pomeranians. Stock footage of a flock of them running and barking.
🎵 come around, imma get you with my pomeraptors 🎵
3 months later, a slew of news reports from Sinclair owned news stations about small dogs and behavior issues. Some crying church lady with dry wispy blonde hair, talking about how Jesus only loves golden doodles.
Then a flood of memes calling Pomeranians finger guillotines, a stream of repeated news articles about the same few attacks, repeated to false consensus.
Some people just love to hate things. These types almost always haven’t met many of the creatures/people they hate. They hear about them second-hand, and/or have a few bad experiences, and nothing will ever change their minds after that.
In nine out of ten cases, it’s just textbook indoctrination. These types tend to be allergic to critical thinking.
Yet another statistic from this Animals 24-7 group that doesn’t appear to be peer reviewed or available online. Is this one group the source of all these claims?
Claims about pit bull attacks inherently rely on local officials deciding how to classify the breed that attacked. That likely isn’t going to be particularly accurate, considering shelter staff (which work with dogs day in and day out) frequently can’t correctly categorize dogs as pit bulls or not. 48% of the dogs labeled pit bulls in the study had no pit bull ancestry. If shelter workers are this bad at identifying breeds by sight, I don’t have high expectations for cops.
Which I truly don’t understand; for having cared and been around rottweilers for the past two decades, I see them as lazier than a cat, good-natured and easy to raise piles of fat. I’ve witnessed more aggressiveness from small breeds (chihuahuas, pomeranians… basically all these spoiled dogs not raised properly because they’re obviously so cute when they hump your leg, nibble at your ankle, and pee on the couch) than from the big guys…
And it’s baffling, a dog is a dog; whatever its size, or the particularities of its breed that one must take into account (like the tendency to excitation and high energy of pits or malinois), there’s some basics of education that any decent owner should teach their dog…
Anyone else old enough to remember when dobermans and rottweilers were the killer breed of the day? I wonder what the next one will be.
That scale is pretty interesting, trying to make 295 seem like it’s more than 500.
Blue bars are attacks, red are deaths. I’d say 3000 is more than 500, yes
Alright, why does 113 look like it’s half of 500?

Because they had to in order to get Rottweilers and pit bulls to show up on the graph correctly.
That “study” (not peer reviewed or published from what I can find) is made by a group that explicitly states they focus on pit bull attacks.
If the data is so good it seems like you’d be able to find real studies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pit Bulls account for over 70% of fatal dog attacks, while only being 6% of dogs. They deserve their reputation.
