“Attacks by pit bulls accounted for about a third of the 238 fatal dog attacks in the United States during a 20-year study, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
The CDC stopped publishing these statistics for a very good reason. Their “facts” came from media stories, not public records at hospitals, shelters, or any other accurate source. They admitted that the media focuses on attacks from pit bull type dogs, and many times misidentify dogs as pit bulls, either through sheer ignorance or for ratings.
To top that, the UKC lists the American Pit Bull Terrier the #2 most popular breed right now, and many of these dogs aren’t registered with them, or aren’t registered at all. And to answer a question posed earlier “what percentage of pit bulls attack”, compared to their population, 1-3%, which is the same for all dog breeds.
