Molosser “Pit-Bull-TYPE” dogs kill one American approximately every fourteen days. The last one was March 31. I’ve been holding my breath for a week. Been researching the situation for several months now. The statistics are horrifying. You can see them here: www.dogsbite.org , here: http://www.nationalpitbullvictimawareness.org/npbva-campaign/press-release/ , and here: http://pitbulldeaths.info/index.php
Boiled down, you are correct. The pit bull type comprises around 6% of the dogs in the US, but commits between 66 and 80% of the fatal attacks of humans, and a bigger proportion of the pet and livestock deaths.
Imagine if those stats were on humans.(Duck and Cover)
Todays society blasts right on past the proven logical documented behavior of pack animals coupled with their physical ability (these are the most ferocious fighting dogs in the world) in favor of their warm fuzziness and owners own ignorance.
Add a few snowflakes and you could have claims of doggie racism.
