So, in your opinion, if the Pit Bull attack doesn’t result in death, it’s not a problem?
According to the CDC, Pit Bulls are responsible for 42% of all dog bite related fatalities. Pit Bulls do not represent anywhere near 42% of the entire dog population. Do the math.

It IS a problem -but the solution is not racial profiling of a breed, but the prosecution of dog fighters who train these animals for sport.
At the turn of the century, Pit Bulls were very popular (remember the little rascals dog - Petey I think) as family dogs. They were not known for human aggression at all. Fast forward to today; why are the Pits in peril? The lowlife thug scum that trains them to kill and gets “shown the money” to do so. Do a little research people beyond the daily rags. Freepers, of all people, know “news” is not necessarily “truth.”
Good for you, using facts to enlighten people. There are people who own Pits that want to feel good about their decision to own a dog with the most powerful jaws of any breed. I guess it’s like owning a Harley with no muffler - look at me, I’m a badass since I make so much noise to prove I don’t give a flip about anyone else but myself.
It’s still around a dozen deaths a year. Hardly an epidemic worthy off the irrational hysteria that surrounds it.
