Where is all this pit bull hate coming from? They're not anymore dangerous to people than other breeds of similar size, yet they get such a disproportionate amount of blame. I'm not sure why.
Since 2016, at least 65 different breeds and mixed breeds have been involved in fatal dog attacks in the U.S. including: Akita, Boxer, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, Great Dane, Husky, Labrador Retriever, Mastiff, Pitbull-Type, Rottweiler, and many others.
The risk of being fatally attacked by a dog (of any breed) given an average of 33 fatal attacks every year in the U.S. and a population of 330,000,000. According to CDC data, fatal dog attacks are exceedingly rare - lightning strikes cause more fatalities (~36/year) than dogs.
Yay strawman! I state the above… And then you focus on only one thing! Go argue somewhere else moron. Congrats on ONLY caring about dead people… And not the ones that were maimed/severely hurt.
In 2020, Pit Bulls caused 33 deaths of adults aged over 20 years. (Pawsome Advice)
So is it 33 deaths total per year for all dogs and pitbulls do 3 of those 33? or 33 attributed to pit bulls period… and there's only a handful additional deaths per year?
Oh wait, they answer my question too!
14 Pit Bulls caused 22 of 28 adult deaths (79%) and 16 (57%) people killed were females. (Dog Bite Law)
So ~80% of dog fatalities dealing with adults humans were pitbulls… Sounds a bit lopsided since 80% of all dogs in the USA aren't pitbulls now… doesn't it?
Does your country have pit bulls?

Statistics… you can look up bite/ attack/ fatality statistics and pit bulls dominate the leaderboards.

So even if pit bulls are the "dominant" killers, it's the "dominant" one out of 33 deaths. Which could be 3.
