    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

        Yes. She tried to run past someone and their dog on a narrow walk without speaking. Turns out running up behind a strange dog and touching it or almost touching it can lead to bad things. Who would have known except literally everyone else on the planet.

          Pretty sure that might only happen with a pitbull or Rottweiler. You can’t link me an example of it happening with any other breed.
