Campaigners have welcomed the move to outlaw the breed they argue is "a clear and present threat to public health", but concerns have been raised it may not be practical and lead to other kinds of dogs being prohibited.
I didn’t make it up. Given the number of pit bull attacks on humans and other animals every year in the US (because that’s where I found the data), and the number of pit bulls in the US, roughly 1 in 10,000 pit bulls will attack someone or something in a given year. Assuming an average lifespan of roughly 10 years, there’s a roughly 1 in 1,000 chance that a given pit bull will ever attack a human or animal.
I know a handful of pits who have bitten and severely injured people. For your positive anecdote there is a negative to match.
Statistically, for every negative anecdote, there are about 1,000 positive anecdotes
Technically it is disengenuous to say statistically and then make up a statistic

So 1 in every 1000 will attack a human? Is that actually a good argument for pit bulls?
