DANGER - Pit Bulls Are MONSTERS! Alysson,Just looking at this article and your comments that followed, strictly from a logical perspective, I can tell you that the vast majority of your arguments are invalid. At first I suspected that this article–like every other pro- pit bull article I’ve ever read–would be the emotion- tainted drivel of someone who owns or has owned a . The further I read, the more I was convinced that yes. We have rides for the whole family here at Pleasurewood Hills. Whether you like fast or more relaxing ones – we have it all. From our classic rollercoasters to our.Here’s a brief overview of some of your most desperate/pathetic/invalid/ridiculously- stupid attempts at reasoning: 1. You incorrectly equate “temperament” to “risk to human safety.” This misrepresentation effectively invalidates the only real data you provided to support your case. To better understand the significance of the statistics you provided, I took the liberty of reading the entire ATTS. The test is subdivided into 1. The test description makes it absolutely clear that “temperament” is not a measurement of “the likelihood that the dog will kill or maim human beings.” The latter metric is obviously the one that anti- pit bull legislation is based on. To my knowledge, no government has banned pit bulls due to their inability to “walk the entire length of a 1. According to ATTS. ANY of the subtests results in overall test failure. Therefore, your comparison of pit bulls to other breeds, such as collies, golden retrievers, and Shetland sheepdogs, is completely invalid and meaningless without additional information about WHY each dog failed. Maybe Shetland sheepdogs tend to freak out when someone close- by starts firing off a few gunshots (i. Maybe the average golden retriever refuses to investigate or react when someone opens an umbrella in their face (i. The ATTS. org temperament test charges a $3. If the dog passes, the owner is given a certificate. Why would anyone want/need one of those certificates? I won’t try to stereotype these people or their dogs, but I will say this: the dogs that have taken the temperament test were NOT selected at random and they are NOT a representative sample of all dogs. Therefore, the data you provided cannot be used to support/rebut arguments about pit bulls in general. You focus on several arguments that are irrelevant to the overall debate. For example: Based on your rationale, the bans and extermination of specific breeds shouldn. To the inexperienced debater, that might make you seem more “right” overall, but to me. And mind you, the smell of desperation was already quite pungent, due to your opening sentence, which was a shameful attempt to “discredit the witness.”First, I think it. If they could prove their client’s innocence, they wouldn’t need to take cheap shots, now would they? You use specific cases to support statements about the general case. In logic class, we called this the fallacy of hasty generalization. Basically, you can’t use your personal experiences with dogs to make assumptions about all dogs. This is probably the #1 invalid argument I hear from pit bull “enthusiasts.” The story goes something like this: Anti- pit bull: “Based on data we’ve collected from many sources, over many years, in many locations, under many circumstances, we conclude that pit bulls are responsible for the majority of dog- related deaths and maimings, and therefore–in general–they are a dangerous breed.”Pro- pit bull: “No way! I own 1. 2 pit bulls and not a single one of them has ever killed or maimed anyone, therefore pit bulls are NOT dangerous!”Not matter how “right” that counterargument sounds in your head. No matter how loving and caring your 1. My personal stance: To be honest, I don’t care what happens to pit bulls. I’ve never owned any, nor have I known anyone who owns any. I don’t have any emotional ties whatsoever to pit bulls. Frankly, I didn’t write this comment in support of banning/killing pit bulls; I wrote it in opposition of stupid arguments.
But since I’ve been so critical of your arguments, I suspect you’ll feel a strong urge to criticize mine. Pleasurewood Hills. Can you handle the thrill?
