    Dog attacks that were identified incorrectly!
    </TD></TR><TR><TD bgColor=#d9e3ee height=21> </TD></TR><TR><TD bgColor=#d9e3ee height=42>December 2005, Detroit. There was a 91yr old woman that appears to have been killed by her dog. Initial reports of course indicate it's a pit bull, a report the next morning identifies the dog as a Bull Mastiff, and yet another says it's a possible pit bull / American Bulldog mix. Then end result, it's a 90lb mixed breed dog, end of story. If you don't know the breed, don't write it. Story indicating the victim was 91, it was a 90lb pit bull 10 years old and had belonged to her grandson who died last year.

    Another story saying it's a pit bull and that she was 92 and her grandson died 4 yrs ago. Also says there was a visitor in the home and as well as gentleman who rents a room in the home.

    Here the dog is an 80lb 3 yr old Bull Mastiff

    In this story we have a Pit bull / American Bulldog mix.

    [​IMG]So it happens yet again. In Saginaw[​IMG] Michigan (August 2005). A couple of dogs entered a petting zoo and killed some animals and wounded several others. The two dogs were identified as "pit bulls", one dog was shot and killed by a zoo employee and the other was taken into custody. This story made national news because of course it is a "pit bull" story. The problem, it was NOT a pit bull, nor a pit bull mix. [​IMG]

  3. This is why our dogs are so feared amoung people who dont know pits, when i first got my pit, i brought her to my moms house to show her, then i told her what breed she was, my mom freaked out, now she loves my dogs and actually said she wished she wouldnt have gotten a pit instead of her lab.

    Yep - I bet if pulled the rankers and Neilson rating for those dates and compared them to the same time spot in previous weeks, we will find that the "pitbull" stories put the rating up at least 2 points.

    That's why the media isn't worried about truth in reporting - ratings.

    Some people just want to see the Pit gone. That's why so many lie, they're just chickens.
