NEW YORK — The U.S. has a problem with pit bulls that needs to be addressed. <br /> <br />It's no question that Americans love their animals, especially dogs. Some owners may even take care of man's best friend better than they do their own children. <br /> <br />Reliable statistics on the pit bull population and attacks in the U.S. are hard to come by. According to research by editor of Animals 24-7 Merritt Clinton, pit bulls make up only six percent of the dog population, but they're responsible for 68 percent of dog attacks and 52 percent of dog-related death since 1982. <br /> <br />All dogs can bite, but since pit bulls are so strong, when they attack it can often be deadly. <br /> <br />It also doesn't help that many pit bulls are too strong for their owners. <br /> <br />Sure maybe the media is giving pit bulls a bad rap, but the fact still remains pit bulls still kill people, especially kids, on more than just a few occasions. <br /> <br />Maybe it's time the U.S. seriously considers banning pit bulls.<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Covering the biggest stories in current affairs, world news, sports, entertainment, and technology, the creators from Next Animation Studio deliver world famous news animations to a global audience.
