Those decisions are guided by the owner. To think that the way a dog is treated does not effect their behavior is silly.

He never said otherwise. Certain dog breeds are more likely to be violent and aggressive compared to other breeds, even when the upbringing is the same. You're just the king of straw man arguments today huh
Animals are incapable of behavior outside the scope of their training?

I think the term "decision" is a bit of a stretch when talking about canine behavior. But I will butt out now!!
Point taken....I'll edit it.

So if a poodle, pit bull, lab and border collie all had an abusive owner, in what order would you prefer for your children to come across one that is running wild in the street? Rank them from your most preferred to least preferred breed to run across in that situation.
We've already pointed out that raw numbers mean nothing without examining cause. I'll repost an important bit from another major study that appears to condemn pits until you actually read all of it.
"If you consider only the much smaller number of cases that resulted in very severe injuries or fatalities,17,19 pit bull-type dogs are more frequently identified. However this may relate to the popularity of the breed in the victim's community, reporting biases and the dog's treatment by its owner (e.g., use as fighting dogs17). "
Again, this is like only looking at studies of gun violence in gang territories and using that to condemn all gun owners.

Where's the prejudice? The report is simply data acquisition and analysis.
If its running towards me aggressively, its going down. Breed plays no part. You don't think a poodle can be vicious?
