Any medium (25-60 lb) to large (60-175 lb) dog can kill you.
The only difference between Pit Bulls and MOST other dogs is the size to strength ratio.
Huskies, Akitas, Malamutes, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Jack Russel Terriers, Australian Shepherds, take your pick, any of these dogs can and do kill people and they are popular breeds.
Pit Bulls are naturally tough, strong, aggressive dogs.
I have one Pit in my pack right now, he has been involved in one and only one fight with another pack member. Within a week of Billy joining our family he got into a fight with George (an 89 pound Rottweiler), Billy weighed in at 47 pounds when he picked the fight.
It was a dominance fight and they both learned within 30 seconds who was the dominant male in our pack, that would be ME.
Billy has been with us for 7 years now and there haven’t been any more confrontations, in fact Billy and George are good friends now and even sleep on the same doggy bed.
Trust me people, it’s not all NATURE, most of it is NURTURE.
Every dog has an individual personality, every responsible owner has to understand that personality and DEAL with it.
Sad that you would consider keeping “pets” that you refer to as a “pack” like wolves. Your entire post is an example of the human part of the problem. You feel domestic pets must be taught that you dominate...and then a dog like those gets out of its enclosure and goes hunting. I have read and watched so many accounts on video/text etc. What you describe is an exotic animal (wild) that can be handled if kept in certain enclosures for wild animal security and handled by “keepers”.

Having some experience with a stray pit bull (American Staffordshire Terrier) that "adopted" us, as well as a few other instances (esp. one former neighbor's dog) I mostly agree with that, but, problem is, I don't think 10 % of owners can handle these dogs in all circumstances. Including myself.
