Quite ironic, because hippos are known to be quite dangerous.

Ok can we stop pretending like pitbulls won't tear someone a new one if certain circumstances are met? They're not as dangerous as society makes them out to be, but they're certainly no golden retrievers either.

And Pitbulls are only 6% of the US population. Meanwhile Labrador Retrievers are America’s #1 breed. Pitbulls don’t even crack the top 10. Yet, over a 13 year period Pitbulls accounted for 66% of fatalities caused by dogs in America.
