Statistics don't lie,

You quote statistics but don't publish any

An appeal to authority based on your personal ownership experience. Of course, some will have had a different experience and some will not be as skilled or dedicated an owner as you, which obviously poses a threat to public safety (refer below).

 

You're right, many of us haven't owned pitties, but we can read and assess statistics. These statistics are cold, hard facts not blurred by emotional connection or personal experiences.

 

From the below lists, I make it 27/41 of 2020 and 26/43 of 2021 US dog fatalities involving Pit Bulls/crosses. A single breed is responsible for over 60% of incidents and for these 2 years alone, 53 people in the US would highly likely still be walking around enjoying life if there were no such thing as pitbulls.

 

A sobering thought...

So you're saying that people haven't been killed by pitbulls and someone might have edited Wikipedia.

 

Ok.

Do you believe in Pitbulls, and why?
