So apparently something like the pitbull breed has increased its population 10x in the last decade in the US (due to breeders and the dogs popularity for what I believe is all the wrong reasons- the bad image). The funny thing is every time a pitbull mauls someone 2 things will happen: A. The owner will claim that the dog never did anything in its life and the dog is the sweetest you ever saw prior to this plus it was trained, and B. other pitbull owners/defenders will claim that the dog wasn't 'well trained.' 

As someone who worked in a trauma unit and got to interact with Shiners hospital for children, let me be clear: Pitbulls are, by far, the most dangerous breed to have around kids (even "trained"). They may or may not bite humans more often than other breeds, but they definitely kill way more often than other breeds when they do attack. Also they definitely attack other dogs more than other breeds tho, as that is literally what they were breed for 'gameness'. There is literally no reason for this breed to exist as dog fighting is illegal. And yet people still try to breed them for 'gameness.' And yes you can tell what an American Staffordshire Terrier is, and the lay person can id a pit bull as proven in prior court cases.
