I agree with you, for now, that's correct. But I think its only in terms of numbers.
The pitts are the current fad. Just like Dobs and Rotties were back in the '60s and '70s. You only ever heard of owners being killed by their brain-damaged Dob.
Once the pitts popularity fades, so will the number these incidents.
Too many people don't realize that an animal, any animal, has a mind of its own. It can be brilliant, stupid, retarded, evil, good, etc, etc, just like people.
Folks just don't respect nature. That's how this stuff happens.

The pit bulls are the dog of choice for drug dealers and meth labs. Even the portable meth labs in Motor homes and Semi Trailers. Yes, I said semi-trailers. They buy an old truck/trailer and do the cook while a driver keeps them moving from place to place. Often the "cookers" are let out at a large shopping area and left there, they don't even know where they are.
I got 2 locations busted for drugs. I reported them based on the fact that they had 3 and 5 pit bulls CHAINED to trees on the property, and the properties were not visible from the roads. I was riding a trail on my horse at the time. I knew where I was and gave the Sheriff's dept good directions, and they got 2 solid drug busts out of the deal. The pit bulls and their heavy chains were a dead give-away.
