almost every single staffy or bull terrier breed I come across is either held tightly by the owner so they can't go for the small fluffy animal
But on the other hand nearly every single Staffy I know is fine with other dogs.
You really seem to have an axe to grind on this.

My axe to grind is with having to keep a constant eye out for murder machines that see my small fluffy dog as prey. Its against people either purposely get a dangerous dog to try and look hard, that circumvent legistlation by important a pitbull under another name then 3 children are attacked in as many months all by that same breed. Then by extension it's to people that look at the numbers, new articles, studies and go "nah, I haven't been attacked by one so I don't believe it"

I mean, there's anecdotes and there's data. For what it's worth almost every single staffy or bull terrier breed I come across is either held tightly by the owner so they can't go for the small fluffy animal, off lead with barely an owner in sight and looking like a menace, or she meets them and I get told its fine cos she's a girl but they attack males.
Despite all the cases of them attacking people including their owners a lot can be very affectionate with people which makes it harder to believe when they rip apart any cats they can get their teeth on. But then that's fighting dogs, they weren't bred for people aggression, just animal aggression.
