I would just like to point out those Pitbull death numbers are statistical inconsenquential. Like, sub-50 deaths per year is nothing. Here are some things that are deadlier than Pitbulls for context.

Horses! Around 100 deaths per year. Ban horses!

Bicycles! 1,000 bicycle deaths per year, and hundreds of thousands of injuries. Ban bicycles!

Trees! Over 100 tree falling and landscaping related deaths per year! Ban trees!

Beds! Nearly 20,000 deaths per year involving falling or strangulation in beds. Ban beds!

The fact of the matter is that fearing Pitbulls in general is entirely irrational. You, the person reading the post, yes you, face VASTLY, nearly INCOMPREHENSIVELY more dangerous things on a daily basis than fucking Pitbulls--Like traffic! What you are arguing is, instead, a willful fear of something. You want to bolster your fear of this thing becauze it gives you an excuse to lable something as evil or bad. This helps give you a sense of control over an otherwise terrifying world. Pitbulls are CREATURES with their own WILL, but if we work together to get rid of them, we can make our world SAFER. It does not, however, make you any safer in any statistical significant way. It is the same behavior of medieval peasants inventing witches to prosecute.

These arguments against pitbulls never come from rational conclusions. They are irrational fears that reach for scraps of evidence to justify their own cowardice or insecurity.
