“This can happen by any breed” says breed from which this most commonly happens
By a massive margin.
Listen, I get it. Any dog can snap, even my 22lb Chihuahua/ Dachshund/treeing coonhound mix.
She decided out of the blue that my wife was a threat for sitting on the edge of the bed and it resulted in a trip to the emergency room.
But the thing is, Bean here is 22lbs and after the initial, WHAT THE FUCK moment, I could grab her and secure her in a crate.
You're not doing that with 70-80 lbs of pure muscle.
Lots of dogs can pose a bite risk but pit bulls pose a rather unique mauling risk. It's not just a bite but a frenzied attack that doesn't stop until someone is dead. This is what the dogs were bred for and it's what we get almost uniquely from the breed.
It's not just because they'd big and strong... lots of breeds and big and could kill if they attacked relentlessly, but even when agitated and angry it almost never happens, except for pit bulls. They pose a unique risk for viscous attacks.
My Cairn can barely maul her own toes. 
Boop
Some breeds are genuinely extremely aggressive. I'm not usually bothered by dogs, but on a holiday in the canary islands I felt genuinely unsafe because of the local breed of asshole dogs.
My wife was home sick one day and I started to feel sick so I left work early. For some reason I don't remember why I came in the house through the front door, when I normally came through the garage. Upon hearing the front door open at a random time of the day and being very protective of us especially when sick, my borde collie came running out of the bedroom growling like I had never heard her do before with teeth showing. The second she realized it was me she stopped and came over for pets.
How stupid can one be
Pit bull owners need to travel to a third world country to see the guard dogs bred exclusively for aggression.
They're so ferocious that people typically avoid any type of dog altogether.
Please show me the stats on Labs snapping on kids.
And please remove "kissing attacks" from your data. I'll wait.
There is one right point though, this is mostly stupidity of humans who think that buying a pitbull will make their penis larger. Its owner should be jailed on three independent accounts of man and child slaughter

Ban PitBulls

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.
Rules:
-
Keep it civil.
-
No advocating for violence.
-
The sole goal for this comm is to ban pit bulls from every jurisdiction and to treat the remaining ones with respect while every caretaker follows the required safety precautions to keep everyone safe. Dog breeds with documented health issues should also be stopped from being forcibly bred into this world.
-
No pit bull advocate gaslighting. Though good faith debates are allowed.
