More than a German shepherd? Rottie? Doberman? Any of those large breed dogs can cause the same amount of damage. A golden retriever and a pitbull both have around 235 pounds of bite force iirc.

Gotta treat animals as individuals. Get to know each one. Upbringing matters more than anything.

How can you read this information I provide you and still say that someone should not be deterred from owning a dangerous animal?

You clearly can’t digest stats and you don’t even provide a good example for your counter argument. Read the statistics. It samples ALL dogs. There is no selection bias. People in swim suits eating ice cream? What in the community college are you on about? That doesn’t even work as an argument.
