The one example you found came over a decade ago from a retriever mix in a household where a different unspecified dog later attacked another child. So on one side you have a single tenuous example from over ten years ago in a huge red flag environment, and on the other you have multiple pit bull fatalities this month.

lol, lmao even

Edit: it’s also worth noting that your cited example involved an infant child, who are the most vulnerable humans by far and could be at threat by basically any living entity. Whereas every pit bull example I listed above, again just from this month, involved fully grown adults.
