You're the one who brought up fatalities. Not sure how it's only a strawman when I do it.
No. I brought up ALL bite/attack/fatality categories. You focused on one in bad faith, like my argument changes anyway. But you even failed to attack just the fatality category anyway. Look, let me drag up one of my old reddit posts. I have full sources and citations... I've even done an analysis of attack per breed per capita. Ultimately IIRC pitbulls are overrepresented by about 6x the next worst breed. You don't get that high of a spike unless there's actually a problem with the breed itself.
Edit: Adding content from Reddit I've written before...
Edit2: If you want to read about how many events are happening regularly... https://old.reddit.com/r/BanPitBulls/
While many posts are griping about dumb idiots who treat pitbulls like gods... Every day there's many posts outlining new attacks... and they maintain actual listings of attacks where humans are hurt or killed... and events where pitbulls kill animals. Some examples being https://old.reddit.com/r/BanPitBulls/comments/tuyivl/april_2022_list_of_pit_bull_attacksfatalities/

If you can find me ANY other breed that is ANYWHERE near this bad... I'll delete my entire lemmy instance.
