Remember that woman in rural LA county who was killed by a pack of dogs last week?

177. You're making the same assumption: that Pit Bulls are different. They're not.

Are Pit Bulls strong? Yes.
Are they unusually stronger than other dog similarly sized? No, they are not.

Do Pit Bulls have a powerful bite? Yes.
Do they have an unusually stronger bite than other dog similarly sized? No, they do not.

Can Pit Bulls be aggressive? Yes.
Are they unusually more bite than other dogs? No, they are not.

THIS IS WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS:
Are Pit Bulls more likely to suffer abuse than other dogs? Yes, they are.
Are Pit Bulls more likely to not have been trained & socialized than other dogs? Yes, they are.
Are Pit Bulls more likely to not have been spayed/neutered & be part of illegal activities than other dogs? Yes, they are.

And those problems are unlikely to be present in dogs obtained from reputable rescue orgs. But the crazies would like to ban them & kill them anyway.
