Do the research, look at the statistics. You'll see that as killers, those two breeds are much more prevalent. The numbers speak.
In other words, back up you words with facts.

"Studies indicate that pit bull-type dogs were involved in approximately a third of human DBRF (i.e., dog bite related fatalities) reported during the 12-year period from 1981 through1992, and Rottweilers were responsible for about half of human DBRF reported during the 4 years from 1993 through 1996....[T]he data indicate that Rottweilers and pit bull-type dogs accounted for 67% of human DBRF in the United States between 1997 and 1998.... thus, there appears to be a breed-specific problem with fatalities."
