The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

When we adopted our Jack Russell, we went to the rescue meet-and-greet, that was being staged at a car dealership to meet him. I'd say about 50-60% of the dogs there for rescue were pitbulls.

Jack Russell's?
They're listed as Parson Russell
Yes, but I refuse to change.
Now, tell me how a ten pound dog can kill a 150 pound person...

Presumably a Jack killed a child? I read somewhere that they’re the breed most likely to bite - not sure that’s true.
Also, our second dog is listed as a Jack Russell cross and she weighs 50 lbs. would she be considered a Jack for the purposes of this study?

I am not surprised by that graph. I am always a bit afraid if I am out and see a pitfall.

Thx!
Thx. When you want to thank someone, but also want to let them know that you'd rather be doing pretty much anything other than thanking them.

You know what’s funny. As I wrote that I honestly thought, “someone is going to comment on my lazy approach to saying thanks”. So, thx for meeting the moment!

American bully XLs to be banned as dog attack victim named
The American bully XL dog is to be banned, the prime minister has announced, following the death of a man in a suspected attack.
Rishi Sunak said the dogs were "a danger to our communities" and would be banned by the end of the year.The man, named as Ian Price, was injured by two dogs near Walsall on Thursday and died in hospital later.
While many have welcomed the ban, some owners and animal groups said a breed-specific ban would not work.
The prime minister said: "It is clear this is not about a handful of badly trained dogs - it is a pattern of behaviour and it cannot go on."
Mr Sunak said he was ordering work from police and experts to legally define the breed so it can then be banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act, which applies in England, Wales and Scotland.
His plan to ban the breed followed an attack on Thursday which led to the death of Mr Price, 52.
A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of dogs dangerously out of control and manslaughter.
More about the breed: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-66775985
American bullies are said to have originated in the US in the late 1980s, when American pit bull terriers and American Staffordshire terriers were crossed.
There are four variations: standard, pocket, classic and XL.
The XL can weigh more than nine stone (60kg) and are strong enough to overpower an adult.
The American bully is regarded as a specific breed in the US. However it is not recognised as such by the main British dog associations, such as the Kennel Club.
Bully Watch, a group of London-based policy experts, told BBC News the breed first appeared in the UK "around 2014 or 2015", and that numbers grew rapidly during the pandemic.
The United Kennel Club in the US says that an American bully "makes an excellent family dog".
"Despite its powerful appearance their demeanour is gentle and friendly," it says, but also notes that "dog aggression is characteristic of this breed"."Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

Spay and neuter the lot and let the breed go the way of the dodo.

Spay and neuter the owners while you're at it.
I was only joking

@Doctor-Phibes why wouldn't it include North Ireland?

There's a different law that applies there. Not sure why they're different, sometimes a law doesn't apply everywhere.

There’s video of the dog attack (killing Ian Price). I don’t recommend watching as it’s exactly what you’d think a video of two pitbulls killing a man looks like. Some nearby folks tried hitting the dogs with sticks but they were old and didn’t have very strong swings, and of course someone was there to video it on their phone.
