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.

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