Could you please provide those stats? Skimming thru the Wikipedia article on pit bulls, it seems there's no clear evidence that pit bulls are significantly more dangerous that other dog breeds of similar size.

Don't use Wikipedia as your source, that's rule number one. Look at the cdc

You mean those weird ass stats where they even agree that evidence is based off of looking at a picture where they admit they barely know it half the time?

Those statistics?

But its not a crab, how can it be good if at anything if no crabiness?

No they aren't. They're only a problem when not raised right. They DO need a firmer hand in training like literally every strong breed, which not all owners realise and take into account, but neglecting that isn't their fault, it's on the bad owners.

You pointed out the solution: nobody should be allowed to keeep a dog unless they can prove they know how to correctly train and keep a dog. If the owners are the problem, the owners should be held accountable.

I completely agree. Can we stop with the rampant defamation of usually sweet dogs, then?
