Okay, because I saw you're a fan of banpitbull subreddit.

I need to ask a very simple question. Do you care about actual safety, or do you just want pitbulls banned? Like what is your goal?

Because all science in the last 5 years states people, not pitbulls, are the problem. Globally. That's the issue.

If you actually want "less harm and death done" then you need to listen to the scientific experts and stop pushing for BSL, and instead push for things that move towards the goal of less harm and death.

But okay let's address the rest now

Are you shitting me? https://financesonline.com/number-of-dogs-in-the-us/

You don't need to have a census to have a pretty damn good idea of how many there are. And you all keep telling me that I'm disingenuous.

You say that and then the link you provided did not give me a very good idea about per capita of the breeds... I have no idea how many of any breed there are.

This is a persons representation of a study. Not the study. but it links to here (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639) So if breed has nothing to do with anything. How come there's qualities organized by breed by the study? You can't claim that behaviors aren't affected by breed, then show me a study that shows a bunch of behaviors organized by breed. And you all keep telling me that I'm disingenuous.

You are being disingenuous... Less than 9% difference across all breeds. A dog is a dog is a dog. Some howl, some don't. Some are more active. A dog is a dog is a dog.

Except this misses one big premise... Amount of cases can be exactly the same, but severity of each case can go down severely. Also amount of cases can be the same, but have less fatalities!

Well it was counting hospitalizations... So it's safe to say we're only talking about severe ones..
