    Technically it’s correct, any breed of dog can maul a child to death, and every dog has some trigger which will cause them to bite. But you really can’t argue with the epidemiology here. Pitbulls definitely kill an inordinate amount of children and pets.

      I don’t know about “any breed” and we’re not just talking a bite, we’re talking killing two kids and nearly an adult human.

      Pitbulls and other “bully breeds” are some of the most often abused dogs too, wonder if that could be related 🤔
