Pitbulls have a reputation for being dangerous tough guy dogs, so “tough guys” get pitbulls and proceed to not treat them well, this give pitbulls the reputation of being dangerous tough guy dogs.
I live in Copenhagen, however, and I’ve seen some very nicely treated pitbulls, even one that was part of a family. They can be so gentle.
Less. Chihuahuas can be aggressive, bitey little shits without proper training. Most people I’ve seen with Chihuahuas don’t train them. It’s just a small little dog, what harm can it do?
It doesn’t matter about the mauling. What is more likely to kill you? A pitbull or a Chihuahua. If a Chihuahua tried to maul an average healthy adult, the healthy adult could probably fight it off quite quickly with minimal small bite injuries. You can’t say the same about a pitbull.
Guns don’t get old and have a bad day killing their owner. Pitbulls do unfortunately. I’ve seen good ones and bad ones but when they are hurting or just grumpy old farts they can go off. The difference between a shitzu and and pitbull doing that is the pitbull is powerful and the shitzu is annoying.
the point was that “too many results for my liking” doesnt mean anything unless there is a number greater than 0 that is to your liking in which case yikes

The one example you found came over a decade ago from a retriever mix in a household where a different unspecified dog later attacked another child. So on one side you have a single tenuous example from over ten years ago in a huge red flag environment, and on the other you have multiple pit bull fatalities this month.
lol, lmao even
Edit: it’s also worth noting that your cited example involved an infant child, who are the most vulnerable humans by far and could be at threat by basically any living entity. Whereas every pit bull example I listed above, again just from this month, involved fully grown adults.
Unfortunately there is a feedback loop somewhere.

Hej fra København og jeg tror du har ret
Now hypothetically, if every breed except Chihuahuas was banned, and those tough guys were forced to buy those and not train them.
Do you think there would be more, less or equal amount of dog mauling?

Great, so you agree breed is a variable that shouldn’t be underestimated.
So can guns.

It’s just less common compared to the relative popularity of the breeds
Counterpoint, hipoints
Guns are weapons. Not lifeforms.
That’s exactly how everyone talks about their pitbull until it rips their child to pieces.
