I've already shown you links that I have posted in the past. And, as I predicted, you completely ignored those links and came after me, inferring that I am lying about what I have posted in the past. While I'm flattered that this means enough to you to research it to this level, your inability to find my older posts that include links to studies, statistics, and data in no way means they are not here.
Hint: I'm not the only one who starts threads about the dangers of pit bulls. Second hint: I was very careful to indicate there are a number of us who have posted links to various studies and such that are awfully damning to pit bulls. I will by no means take all of the credit for that. Others have contributed well thought out positions against your favorite breed, with the facts and data to back them up.
Here are some others that I have previously posted:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19644273
More than 30 different offending breeds were documented in the medical records. The most common breeds included pit bull terriers (50.9 percent), Rottweilers (8.9 percent), and mixed breeds of the two aforementioned breeds (6 percent).
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21475022
RESULTS:
Our Trauma and Emergency Surgery Services treated 228 patients with dog bite injuries; for 82 of those patients, the breed of dog involved was recorded (29 were injured by pit bulls). Compared with attacks by other breeds of dogs, attacks by pit bulls were associated with a higher median Injury Severity Scale score (4 vs. 1; P = 0.002), a higher risk of an admission Glasgow Coma Scale score of 8 or lower (17.2% vs. 0%; P = 0.006), higher median hospital charges ($10,500 vs. $7200; P = 0.003), and a higher risk of death (10.3% vs. 0%; P = 0.041).
CONCLUSIONS:
Attacks by pit bulls are associated with higher morbidity rates, higher hospital charges, and a higher risk of death than are attacks by other breeds of dogs. Strict regulation of pit bulls may substantially reduce the US mortality rates related to dog bites.
Granted, the two links I show above I had originally simply left embedded in this link, which I posted directly:

I've pulled them out for your convenience. You're welcome.
Here is a new one for you to chew on:

Conclusions—Although fatal attacks on humans appear to be a breed-specific problem (pit bull-type dogs and Rottweilers),
And just who drew the above conclusion, and what did they base it upon? A pretty unimpeachable source:
From the Division of Unintentional Injury Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, US Department of Health and Human Services, US Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 4770 Buford Hwy NE (MS K-63), Atlanta, GA 30341 (Sacks, Gilchrist); The Humane Society of the United States, 2100 L Street, NW, Washington, DC 20037 (Sinclair, Lockwood); and the Division of Education and Research, American Veterinary Medical Association, 1931 N Meacham Rd, Ste 100, Schaumburg, IL 60173 (Golab). Dr. Sacks’ present address is the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 4770 Buford Hwy NE (MS K-45), Atlanta, GA 30341.

The charts shown with the above paper are particularly telling. They start on the second page.
Feel free to ignore these and attack me again.
