All breeds of dogs can be mean and bite, it's just that due to their breeding, pitbulls have a much more powerful bite force than most commonly owned breeds, so they can inflict more damage, which makes pitbull attacks more serious, bloody, and therefore more sensational for news media

Then there's the whole fighting thing so if a pit was involved with that it will have a tendency to be mean / bite

I read somewhere that the top 10 breeds for reported dog bites are not pit bulls, but cocker spaniels and labrador retrievers (probably because they are more commonly owned by people).

Also, regarding bite force, I also seem to remember hearing that the mammal with the strongest recorded bite force on record is hyena (1100 psi apparently). Pitbulls top out at like 300 psi or something.

I'm an internet expert.
