In more than half of dog bites the breed is unknown. So that's the end of your line of reasoning.

Are you able to provide a link or a study stating this, or are you just providing your opinion here? Happy to have this discussion. But you seem to just be angrily dismissing my comment out of disagreement rather than facts.

The bull-and-terrier was a breed of dog developed in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century for the blood sports of dog fighting and rat baiting. It was created by crossing the ferocious, thickly muscled Old English Bulldog with the agile, lithe, feisty Black and Tan Terrier. The aggressive Old English Bulldog, which was bred for bear and bull baiting, was often also pitted against its own kind in organised dog fights, but it was found that lighter, faster dogs were better suited to dogfighting than the heavier Bulldog. To produce a lighter, faster, more agile dog that retained the courage and tenacity of the Bulldog, outcrosses from local terriers were tried, and ultimately found to be successful.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_bull

They were made primary for dog fighting, and fighting is ingrained into their nature, in the same way that retrievers were made to retrieve. I have also provided information in another comment here that breaks down the fatalities caused by dog breeds each year and pit bulls kill more than all other breeds combined.

Even if they were bred for something else entirely a singular breed of dogs causing the majority of fatalities each year is clearly dangerous. So dangerous that something should be done to ensure the public's safety.

Every study states it itself. There's always a category for "unknown," and if for some reason there isn't such a category, you know the source you are reading is some full of shit organization that at best is misleading people just to collect money and at worst is only talking about dogs so they can push pseudo genetic science including eugenics and blood lible.

Your narrative from Wikipedia is some hysterical author focusing on one group of dogs. It's also undeniable that training is an exponentially more significant factor in animal behavior than genetics, so let's assume they were bred for fighting other dogs at a dog fight, so what? What does that have to do with dogs biting humans in their own homes or at the park? It's a stupid argument you're making.

Evidence that this Wikipedia article is any of the things you are rambling about here? Or do you just dismiss all Wikipedia articles.

It's also undeniable that training is an exponentially more significant factor in animal behavior than genetics.

More unfounded statements, again I ask you for evidence. Show me something that indicates that an animal's nature can be completely overriden by training; then tell that to Siegfried and Roy.

What does that have to do with dogs biting humans in their own homes or at the park? It's a stupid argument you're making.

You don't even have an argument, evidence and dare I say it a brain.
