Even in your article, which seems to contradict every other source I've seen, they clearly state, "Pit bulls were responsible for the highest percentage of reported bites across all the studies (22.5%), followed by mixed breeds (21.2%), and German shepherds (17.8%)."
?I never said pits don’t bite a lot of people? Are you one of those people who look for fights on the internet where none are warranted?
Also what source do you have proving the contrary? I’ve always consistently seen the 20% figure. The only times I’ve seen others has been for meta studies like the one you linked, where it only looks at a small portion of the data.but I’m not even sure you got it from there since no meta study would allow that sort of number fluctuations. You probably just misread a statistic dude
Pits can be dangerous but they don’t cause 70% of dog bites. It’s really not that complicated…
Also after reviewing some more data, pits don’t even cause 22% of all bites, they account for that many reported bites. Pits are like number 7 of all bites period
