Why are people afraid of Bully breed dogs?

I personally love pitbulls, and Pitbull mixes. They have been the kindest, and most lovable of the 200 + dogs my wife
and I have had come through our rescue over the last 30 years.

I understand if someone was bitten by an untrained dog, any dog can bite. The majority of dogs in America by far, are
bully breeds. They make up 20% of all dogs in America. The AKC has over 200 breeds listed, not to mention all
the mixed breed.

Pit-bulls do not bite as often as most dogs, but the fact that 1 in 5 dogs are the big head types it only makes sense
that most dog bites are from bully breeds. If they were real biters, that number we be much higher.

I have a picture of my father in 1926 when he was 3 sitting next to his family dog
a Staffordshire Bull terrier, which is always confused with a Pit Bull.

Hopefully I can find it.

Because they’re aggressive as hell. Everyone who loves pit bulls loves to gush about how great they are. Ive seen kids’ and peoples faces disfigured from being attacked by these dogs.

Dogs get tumors, can become sick and all kind of issues that cause them to attack unprovoked

It's NOT the dogs fault
It's the breeders, the owners & the trainers

Pit Bulls are NO MORE aggressive by nature than any other dog. You obviously have no experience with them.
