There are estimated to be 90 million dogs in the United States. About 3.5 million are said to be pit bulls. Pit Bulls killed 203 American in the 10 year period from 2005-2014 according to police reports. Of the 326 recorded Fatalities by dogs during this period 62% were said to be Pit Bull attack’s. Even if half of those reported were inaccurate (perhaps some were mix breeds) this would still be a huge number. Many others that survived were disfigured for life.

I know some say these figures are inaccurate and you can’t contribute all of these attacks to the Pit Bull breed. However, anyway you want to spin these numbers any reasonable person is going to conclude there is cause to be diligent when dealing with a Pit Bull or a dog mixed with such a breed. Perhaps the Pit Bull has gotten a “bad rap”, you be the judge. “Figures don’t lie but liars figure”.
