response to the fact that pit bulls are massively overrepresented in dog attack and fatality statistics?

I do

Most dog attacks are report to hospital maybe police but any time the dog cant be found they can only take the word of the person. That's a lot of dog bites that we have no way of verifying if it was a Pitbull or whatever breed they say. And yes people are really bad at identify dogs by bredds, lots of stray dogs are mixed breeds, and eyewitnesses are terrible in general.

Also pitbull ia not one breed There several breeds woth pitbull in the name.
