[QUOTE]Originally posted by 93venom: [QB] curiosity had me google this subject, found this insteresting. Most say pitbull owners are to blame, but the numbers dont add up. these are copy and pasted off dogbites.org. dont shoot the messenger... Report: U.S. Dog Bite Fatalities January 2006 to December 2008 A 2009 report issued by DogsBite.org shows that 19 dog breeds contributed to 88 deaths in a recent 3-year period. Pit bulls accounted for 59% followed by rottweilers with 14%. Of the 88 fatal dog attacks recorded by DogsBite.org, pit bull type dogs were responsible for 59% (52). This is equivalent to a pit bull killing a U.S. citizen every 21 days during this 3-year period. The data also shows that pit bulls commit the vast majority of off-property attacks that result in death. Only 18% (16) of the attacks occurred off owner property, yet pit bulls were responsible for 81% (13). Many U.S. courts have declared pit bulls as "lethal weapons." Police officers have the right to shoot and kill pit bulls when under threat or when protecting citizens. Examples of police officers shooting dangerous pit bulls are so common that DogsBite.org began tracking these instances in 2008. In a recent 11-year report released by the New York Police Department, the data showed that when dangerous dogs are shot 72% were pit bulls followed by rottweilers with 10%.7 The inability for the average person, much less a child or senior citizen, to stop an attacking pit bull may be the single most powerful reason why pit bulls must be regulated. A 2009 incident shows that Chicago police officers were forced to shoot an aggressive pit bull 10 times to stop the dog's assault. Prior to being shot to death, the dog attacked a pregnant woman, hospitalizing her.8 This incident clearly illustrates the undeniable public safety threat that pit bulls present. [/QB][/QUOTE]
