    That’s not what the data shows though. The vast majority of dog attacks are by pitbulls.

      Except the major source everyone cites is one psycho who composes his data exclusively by going through news reports of dog attacks and determining it was a pit bull if any news source called it a pit bull rather than any scientific methodology whatsoever

        Super reliable! You know, the same news sources that call every 1-hand bang-bang-thingy a “glock”, a wooden two-hand bang-bang-thingy an AK-47, and a black shovel an Assault-Rifle-15-mall-sweeping-military-style-bump-stock-war-machine assault weapon.

        Yeah I’m sure they’re great at differentiating dog breeds too! XD

        What reason would someone have to do that though? Probably was attacked by a pitbull in the past lol
