Where do these stats come from?
Reported dog bite related injuries and statistics can be found at: http://www.dogsbite.org/dogsbite-recent-dog-bite-statistics.php
These stats are taken out of context. Of course Pit attacks are more dangerous and death by them is higher than most other dogs. They have jaws like an alligator. When they want you, there's nothing you can do about it. But Pit attacks do not account for a significant amount of total dog attacks.
Yeah ok now why did it attack it takes alot to tick one off and I know for a fact a pitbulls jaws are no more dangerous than a German Shepard or lab and why just pits wheres the rotweiler or chow oh and ive never been bit by a pit you got cover for a toy poodle been bit by one of those
