Did you know that cows kill about the same amount of people every yesr as pits?
Fun fact, 100k's people every year from medical malpractice. It's usually the 3rd leading cause of death. No one cares.
But totally, ban pit bulls
Lately, I’ve seen a lot of intense pit bull fear here on X, and much of it is absolute nonsensical graphs and stats. Here's the real stats:
The absolute risk of being killed by one of the pit bull breeds in the U.S. is extremely low - roughly 1 in 12–13 million per year based on long-term averages around 25–30 fatalities annually.
By comparison, the chance of being struck by lightning in a given year is less than 1 in a million. Both are extremely rare events.
Most serious incidents involve known dogs and preventable factors (supervision, containment, ownership practices). Stats don’t erase individual tragedies, but they do put the national risk in perspective.

@Apackof2Redux Nice, jumping straight to the insult. This is a polarized topic, and regardless of the counter points you probably wouldn't shift.
The cattle example was intentional... and the data cuts both ways.
