Yeah, the source for that webpage doesn't exist, so not going to believe a word on it.
Oh, a traffic offense, oh goodness they must be horrible dog owners. Seriously, nearly everyone has a traffic offense, if that's in the criteria, then no shit it's at 100%.
You mean this?

"The source that disagrees with me doesn't exist after not even a single Google search, so I won't believe a word of it!"
Not when the link to said source gives a 404 doesn't exist page. Blame your source website.
And some of those factors just apply to pits because of their breed.
76% are not given lots of human contact, because pits are violent and aggressive, and need to be kept away from people.
77% compromised ability to interact with dogs; well pits are way too strong for the vast majority of people.
Unneutered dogs being more likely to attack. Just an argument to force neuter all pits.
As for breed identification. If it be big, terrier shaped, and boxy head, it's pit enough.
