Why aren’t there Rottie and Boxer deaths? Those can be pretty dangerous as well. But it’s always Pitbulls. Logic says something is wrong there.

You will find the Rottweiler and Boxer death statistics either at www.dogsbite.org or at the site www.animals24-7

The info below is from www.dogsbite.org.

2016 U.S. Dog Bite Fatality Statistics - DogsBite.org
Fatal Dog Attack Statistics
DogsBite.org recorded 31 fatal dog attacks in 2016. Pit bulls contributed to 71% (22) of these deaths, just over 7 times more than the next closest dog breed. The combination of pit bulls, their close cousins, American bulldogs (2), and rottweilers (2) contributed to 84% (26) of all dog bite-related fatalities. The last year the CDC collected “breed” data about fatal human dog attacks was 1998, nearly two decades ago. Since this time, pit bulls have killed over 300 U.S. citizens.

31 U.S. dog bite-related fatalities occurred in 2016. Despite being regulated in Military Housing areas and over 900 U.S. cities, 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.
The breakdown between these two breeds is substantial over this 12-year period. From 2005 to 2016, pit bulls killed 254 Americans, about one citizen every 17 days, versus rottweilers, which killed 43, about one citizen every 102 days.

There are Rottweiler, Boxer, Shepherd, and many other dog caused deaths every year, not all in the US of course, but they happen.
Of course the ENEMEDIA has decided to highlight Pit Bull deaths here because they are the dogs of drug dealers, gang bangers, and athlete thugs.
What would the world say if Michael Vick had been fighting Shepherds and French Poodles?
And yes Shepherds and Poodles do kill people.
