I could post video's of strong man contests with guys pulling trucks...

And those men are anomalies, "outliers" in statistical jargon. They do not represent the average. We are dealing with average representatives of each species. The average dog is -much- stronger than the average human, period. Please refer again to the large gentleman with the professional career handling these creatures.

In a tug of war, a man will beat a dog every time.

Bullshit. Citation needed, or this is simply bullshit. I'd -love- to see you win (or even seriously contest) a tug-of-war with a dog even half your weight.

Dogs cant pull HGV's can they?

They can and do. Have you ever seen how sled-dogs train in the off-season? By pulling automobiles and loaded farm wagons.

On fight skill, the ability for a human to use a weapon places it above a dog without any further debate

Bullshit. If this was the case, no military in the world would use dogs, and armed men never would have been killed by them, which has happened repeatedly in history. Look up Hernando deSoto's Iberian War Dogs (and the carnage they inflicted in the New World) sometime. Likewise the Roman army's use of attack dogs in the Gallic Wars, etc.

oh, and btw - a quick search on google showed me several links estimating that approx 9 million dogs are killed each year in the USA alone.

Killed for livestock predation or euthanized by Animal shelters. NOT killed in the course of attacking people.

Furthermore it is estimated 145 humans have been killed by pitbulls in the last 10 years, and 200 pitbulls are killed by humans every day in Los Angeles alone...

The people killed by Pitbulls were killed by attacking dogs (uncontrolled environment). The 200/day are killed in animal shelters (controlled environment). There is a significant difference.
