    The problem is the misuse of statistics. I want to see a chart that looks at number of child attacks based on if the dog was trained to attack people or defend a home. From there, look at breed.

    People buy and train pitbulls for protection. It’s called a confounding factor.

    If you look at just the result but not the cause you miss the point. That’s how people use statistics to lie. That’s why you’re getting shit.

      Ah yes, just ignore the confounding genetic factor while at it. That’s surely a scientific approach to all this. 🙄

      You need to get better at this, troll.
