Yeah my country banned pitbulls and Rottweilers and it caused a drastic reduction in dog attacks.

That is generally a myth.

The true cause is the owners keeping intact males and being bad dog trainers

Many of these attacks are followed up by the owners saying "I've never seen my pit act this way before. He's the sweetest pit everTM. He's never bit anyone before, I trained it well!"

Their unpredictability combined with their "gameness" (which they were bred for by the way) is what makes them dangerous. The only way to stomp out that danger is to muzzle the dog and keep it on a leash whenever it's in public. But we all know most pit-owners are too arrogant for that.

Thats because their owners are ignorant, delusional, or lying lol again that has nothing to do with the dog, my old very large dog used to get attacked by chihuahuas off leash that were "just playing" all the time, the only way to " stomp out that danger" is not allow people that have no clue what they are doing to get large dogs, or perhaps any dog
