One of those will cost you 350-500 bucks, on up...You can get pit bulls for nothing...And they're cute when they're puppies...Pit bulls have come to out number all other breeds put together...it's likely the sheer numbers of these dogs that makes their attacks top the chart...
Retrievers bite you and it hurts...Pit bulls bite you and kill you...So they aren't getting a bad rap...like getting bitten by a lizard compared to getting bitten by an alligator...
.it’s likely the sheer numbers of these dogs that makes their attacks top the chart...

There’s no excuse for the bloodshed and fatalities caused by pits.
From dogsbite.org:
“Our data revealed that pit bull breeds were more than 2.5 times as likely as other breeds to bite in multiple anatomical locations.”
For 2016, “ pit bulls contributed to 71% (22) of these deaths. Pit bulls make up about 6% of the total U.S. dog population.”
“Together, pit bulls (22) and rottweilers (2), the second most lethal dog breed, accounted for 77% of the total recorded deaths in 2016. This same combination also accounted for 76% of all fatal attacks during the 12-year period of 2005 to 2016”
There are pages and pages of documented deaths, maimings etc. It’s pit bulls that are the problem - not a bad rap or any other distortion. It’s these dogs which were bred to kill and then taken into homes and passed off as pets...until they do what they were bred to do.
