Really cool presentation...now explain why it is the pits that are killing/maiming people.
Super simple
1. Being the most popular dog "breed", or close enough to it
2. Being big enough to kill people
Usually you see statistics which say labs, retrievers and German shepherds are the most popular breed. But those stats are coming from the American Kennel Club and they're only counting registered owners of purebreds.
According to the AKC the Chinese Shar-Pei, Coton de Tulears, Samoyeds and Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs are all more popular than the "pit bull" breeds, so you know their stats are wonky.
