Couple quick hit thoughts:

First of all auditor, who gives a crap that the attack happened in your area.

Everyone keeps harping that the most popular breeds don't include pit bulls so that the attack number per capita is huge. What you aren't realizing (and should be thanks to the find a pit quiz link reference earlier) is that pit bull isn't a breed, but a category. When you search a list and see german shepherd or golden, you aren't going to find pit. You will have to add up all the different breeds' numbers to get an accurate count of "pit bulls." Do this and the attack per capita is no more shocking that german shepherds and akitas.

Also, when NYMM says "Are you trying to say that bad and lazy people tend to gravitate toward owning Pit Bull type dogs and Rotts?", that is exactly the case. Pit bulls have a negative image and if you are trying to own a dog for a less than savory purpose, you go with what you know. Someone trying to train a junkyard dog isn't going to spend time researching or paying the high price of a trainable purebred. They're going off of perception and availability. Pit bull covers a huge swath of breeds and most are a mix. These dogs don't have to come from a breeder, but can be found at rescue shelters. To someone looking for an intimidating dog, a "pit" can be found easily and will have the desired effect since apparently 90% of the population (as evidenced by this board alone) are afraid of these killers.
