It's interesting you say that because a lot depends on how those stats were collected.
We can assume that every household has at least one spoon in it.
Every child should have at least one parent or caretaker.
Percentage wise, very few of those households with a spoon and a parent would also have a Pit Bull as a pet.
To say that more children die at the hands of the parent or spoon is misleading because very few are also exposed to pit bulls. A more accurate representation would be to only take into account the households that contain a parent, spoon and a pit bull. If the stats were collected in this way I'm willing to bet the gap would narrow.
