Even if half of those figures are due to the owners, that still speaks volumes. There are people on here who own several "wonderful" retics or anacondas, but that doesn't change the facts about the specific breeds or species. If I had to walk through either a park full of pit bulls or a park full of any other dog breed, I would walk through park B (not that I'm scared of pits). I have seen 2 pitbulls get out and attack 2 young girls who were just walking down the street. I've never seen other escaped dogs do that.
