I don’t disagree with you but asking to get your view changed in a community whose entire purpose is to have the same view might not be very productive.

Agreed, it’s not surprising a dog breed raised for dog fighting is dangerous.

When pit bulls get banned, owners just switch to some other breed and that one becomes the new highest recorded dog attacks.

In fact often banning pit bulls makes dog attacks go up, not down.

Owners that raise dogs to attack others choose pitbulls specifically often.

Banning pitbulls has never been shown to have any impact on rates of dog attacks anytime it was done.

The numbers simply just can’t be argued with, it’s been tried multiple times by various cities, it doesn’t fix anything because it has nothing to do with the species and everything to do with the owners.

Can you cite the sources for your claim that an outright ban shifts the numbers to a different breed?

No. He cant. Because there is no such study.

Dog bite severity varies by the breed of dog, and studies have found that pit bull–type dogs have both a high rate of reported bites and a high rate of severe injuries, compared to other non–pit bull–type dogs.

Pit bull–type dogs are extensively used in the United States for dogfighting, a practice that has continued despite being outlawed. Several nations and jurisdictions restrict the ownership of pit bull–type dogs through breed-specific legislation.
