Do pits prefer killing certain groups, why the death count would show that. Nearly 50% of their kills are from 3 days to 12 and another 25% are from 65 to 90. Those are their preferences for the kill.
Most pit bulls don’t attack any human, so what. Most rattlesnakes do not attack any human. So lets bring them into our homes.
Gosh German shepherds, chows, rottweilers and boxers attack more people than pitt bulls. So what, we would have to add the fatalities from all those types together and it would not equal the deaths from pit bulls.

Even though other types of dogs are more popular, they still continue to lead in killing.
The more you know, the less you want pits in your community. Allowing them in should be criminal.
