I am not asking for "numbers." What I am asking for, over and over, is to prove that pits are human-aggressive by nature.
I have not at any point denied that some pits have attacked/killed people. What I am saying is that this is not a natural behavior for them. Any dog can be trained to attack, and there is no denying that a pit will do more damage than, say, a chihuahua.
Again, I'm not asking for numbers, I'm talking about predisposition. Instead of looking into that issue, you are calling it a "trick" in order to avoid it, or so it seems.
You could probably Google any breed of dog and find biting/attack stores, btw.
Here are some good links for you, not the kind you asked for but good reading.

These links say pits are not human-aggressive. But they do give you some good information and tips.
Bilson's scared of hunting dog beagle attack

The OC star Rachel Bilson has a morbid fear of beagles after one of the dogs tried to rip her face off when she was a child.
The actress, 24, has a scar on her upper lip to remind her of her encounter with the savage mutt when she was just three.
She says, "I hate them (beagles) and I'm not afraid to say the word 'hate'."
But Bilson isn't afraid of all dogs - her constant companion is a pit-bull terrier, which was a gift from her boyfriend and The OC co-star Adam Brody.
She admits the canine birthday gift was a real test for her because she feared she would be terrified of her new pet.
She adds, "Last year (05) Adam showed up with this big pit bull and said, 'Happy birthday! Here's your dog! Her name is Penny!'
"I was, like, 'Let me get this straight. You picked out my dog. It's a pit bull.'"
The actress quickly warmed to her new companion, which she renamed Penny Lane.
BOTH the available statistics on dog attacks AND anecdotal evidence say that pit bulls ARE human-aggressive. The burden of proof is on YOU, to prove that they are NOT.
So prove it, then.
As far as my own personal experience goes, our neighbors had a pit bull that was raised by a kind family from a puppy. And he was schizophrenic as hell. He finally had to be put down before he decided that either her child or one of ours "tasted like chicken." We could all see it coming. It was only a matter of time, and it was him or one of us.
So my own personal experience proves to me BEYOND ANY DOUBT that yes, at least some pit bulls ARE INHERENTLY HUMAN-AGGRESSIVE AND VERY, VERY DANGEROUS.
And there's no way you can prove me wrong. Because those are simply the facts.
