I understand that the the number of attacks is very, very low. But the statistics ARE indeed skewed, are you trying to imply that the average American interacts with a pit bull as much as a bath tub? Are you implying that babies interact with pit bulls as much as they are in a crib? The only way there can be a reasonably fair comparison between the danger of two things is if there is a constant, that constant must be the amount of interaction an average US citizen has with each thing. If I use a knife once and it cuts me once, but I use a screwdriver 100 times and it cuts me three times, is the screwdriver really more dangerous?

I am sorry if I took this post too seriously, to the OP, I apologize. I just don't want people to take these flawed statistics and try to defend the breed using them. Their are much more reliable and statistically sound arguments that we can use against those that hate our beloved breed. Once again, I am sorry if I took this post too seriously.
Most people here are well aware of the statistics and I am sure that they wouldnt use something this flimsy to defend the breed. I personally would get the statistics for the bite rate of other dogs to the pit bull or something like that.
