32 of the fatality descriptions identify a breed. 26 of them list "pit bull."

So, 81% of fatality descriptions that identify a breed list "pit bull."

That's a much higher rate of pit bull involvement than I had heard of in the past.

I think it's a few things: pit bulls are a very large and strong breed, aggressive people prefer large, powerful dogs, aggressive people don't train/socialize their dogs to be nice to other people.
