Their attacks generally do more damage, that is not something I will argue. The frequency of attacks and an accurate report of the “breed” are points that need to be looked at more closely. Shit owners that don’t keep a territorial dog contained, don’t train them properly (or worse, train them to be aggressive), don’t socialize them, etc...are more to blame than the breed. There are hundreds, if not thousands more peaceful pits than there are aggressive ones, but no one mentions those. Temperament tests have been done by neutral third parties for years, the pit bull types have always done well in those when they are raised right and not poorly bred by some moron in his backyard.
You keep saying things like "if they're trained/bred/raised properly."
That doesn't really help your case. If a breed needs more or better training to be safe, that's actually evidence that they are more dangerous.
Also, "There are more good ones than bad ones" is irrelevant. That's like talking about a serial rapist and saying "Don't worry, he doesn't rape most people."
