Clifton Merrill is an animal rights activist and general all-round kook.

Here is a sample of your "expert's" thought...
Around the world, societies that practice animal husbandry are desensitized societies. The abuse of animals inevitably spills over into the treatment of women and children. Polygamy, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, and slavery persist in in many of the very regions that Heifer Project International serves, for example, as extensions of common agricultural practice to those of our own species who are least able to protect themselves.

He is a discredited wacko and anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt.
You do no service to yourself nor your 'cause' by using him as reference.
There are many more accurate, unbiased and reputable sources out there.

I don't have a "cause". I found several lists and the one I posted was referenced from another reputable site. It looked like it had the most complete and accurate data - such as this reference "German shepherd mix: One fatality victim, age 83, was apparently killed by an overly rowdy greeting. The victim was knocked down and suffered multiple broken bones, but was not bitten."

If you've got something better - why don't you share it with us instead of levying an ad hominem attack on me...?
