It is usually a veterinarian that actually puts the dogs down in those cases, and I don't think that they are very prone to making  wrong identifications

I don't know how it is in your country - though I suspect it's the same - but here whenever there is a death by dog it gets all the local headlines for a little while and even gets makes the national news. There is always an investigation. They are really too serious of a situation to rely on what some guy said about the dog...

So if they say that 20 out of 41 deaths occurred with a pit bull, then I'm sure that nearly all of those 20 deaths were caused by a pit bull.

You could be right, but I don't have too much faith in many of our professionals. Plenty of doctors use dated info and make a lot of mistakes/ bad decisions it seems.

And I doubt most vets are better trained Some surely know their dog breeds very well but I imagine some don't.

Even if all 20 deaths were from pits like I said I imagine there were other factors in many if not most cases, not just the dogs killing unprovoked.

Pits seem the go to breed for asshole guys too that want big scary dogs to abuse, so I wager that's a big part of why they are viewed as the most dangerous.

The only pit I have ever known to be violent belonged to my uncle who is/was a junky and went in and out of prison. He lived with his mom too and they would fight like crazy, so I think the aggression just bled into the dog. One day she snapped and killed their other little dog so they had her put down She was a sweet dog overall though, I bet she would have done great in a better home...

Probably had more to do with the fact it just felt like killing something.  Especially if its owners weren't at home.  Dogs aren't the same, when they're left to their own devices.  Especially at night.  I don't worry about coyotes and whatnot at night.  Coyotes are too smart to get into a fight with a six-foot tall ape that can cave their skull in before bleeding to death.  Dogs are too fucking stupid to really avoid picking a fight on an impulse.

There's such a strong thread of negativity through this place. Could we all just stop for a minute and think about the flavour?
