Found a site that says 66%...so that’s a big discrepancy. As well, pitbulls are used in dogfighting and are one of the most mistreated breeds. Of course they will be aggressive.
It's a cruel cycle. Pitbulls are stereotyped as especially violent, so they're used as fighting dogs by bad owners until they eventually lash out, so they're stereotyped as especially violent, so they're used as fighting dogs by bad owners...
Its maulings, not attacks. Pit bulls are powerful so even if they are a standard level of aggressive the above standard level of damage they cause can explain the statistic.
Actually that's incorrect. Despite popular belief, Dogs are responsible for only 72% of all dog bites, with 18% being commited by cats and a further 10% being commited by various creatures like birds or the Tasmanian Devil.
