I was in on one of these discussions a while back when someone brought up the fact that so many people are attacked by Pitts. I will go back and find it again, but there are more people biten by pomeranians and poodles that require hospital visits than by pit bulls. Pit bulls just make the news. It was also noted on there that more than 90% of pitbull attacks are by mistreated dogs, and not by the family pet. This whole thing about pit's being 'born killers' is a myth made up by the media. They are very strong, and more gamey than msot dogs, but they are not more violent.
