Pit bull is a large category which many, completely unrelated breeds can be classified as too. Entirely different genetics, from entirely different regions, with entirely different temperaments.
Sure, if a person lumps together any dog that kinda looks like it belongs in the bully classification, you’ll get pretty high statistics. Especially when you compare against singular breeds like a rottweiler.
If you look at the graphic (which states 67% not 90) “pitbull” makes up atleast 8 breeds, though like many others I’ve read my assumption is that they’re still classifying many breeds as a singular breed.
You need to look at per-capita data by the way, even if you didn’t need to separate the breeds. With simply this data, there could simply be more pitbulls in existance than other breeds.
The statistics about 90% dog attacks being pitbulls is because cops can call any dog a pitbull.
