If it’s broken down by actual breed, rather than misidentification, you would find that another dog breed is actually responsible for more dog bites and fatalities, and that even then it’s a small number. Pit Bulls (American Staffordshire Terrier, AKC name) is an actual breed, however everyone uses the phrase Pit Bull to describe any number of bully breed (named because they come from bull dogs) dogs. As evidenced by this story, even the people with first hand knowledge can’t definitely say it’s a pit, yet a dozen Reddit geniuses came on here to ask society to genocide a dog breed, or bad mouth the owners. So there’s just a little bit of bias.
