66 deaths by pit bulls in 19 years.
Gosh, are you going to post the stats (as opposed to predisposition) for how many people killed people in those 19 years? Those would be good side by side.
P.S. It would be also be a good idea to add "stats" (not even taking predisposition into account) of how many pit bulls lived in this country in those 19 years, because you know, the percentage of pits who did no harm should be reported as well. That is, if there is any interest in recognizing that the vast majority of pits never harm anyone.
If Pit Bulls killed only 66 people in 20 years, that is a damn small price to pay for the many hours of pleasure and pride these brave, trustworthy, and gentle pets provide to their owners! What the heck is a maimed mailman or two, or two or three hundred chewed and scarred tots, when weighed in the cosmic balance with loyal companionship and neighborhood status?
Now, as to your totally prejudiced spin on the criminal ownership of Pit Bulls, etc:
Any fair man can see the solution there. When the owners get convicted, let them share their cells with their dogs.
Get your priorities straight, dude! Waddayou, some kind of insurance underwriter?
