I think this is a bad example. Even a CAT can kill a baby. We're talking about agressive dogs to adults and children. Usually when a dog bites it is a warning to get away, because it's cornered, or beause it's eating. Pit's ATTACK to KILL and they keep coming back. If we are talking about just BITING then a pit isn't at the top of the list (which I must add people don't report ALL bites). I think everyone here has aleast been nipped by a dog. If we are talking about having the ability to KILL an adult or a human, pits are at the top of the list with rotts. I am always amazed how this conversation casually goes from KILLING to just biting when there's SUCH a big difference.
