OK, so you’re confirming my suspicion. You believe a mauling is acceptable, as long as nobody dies.
That’s a detestable POV.
Since you so well versed in the stats, how many mailings do Pit Bulls do each year?
Have any of YOUR children ever been mauled?
” Studies show that two breeds account for nearly 70% of bites that end in death and serious injury.”
~~~
Other sites say 2-3% commit 65% of K-9 homicides/maulings.
Guess what breed...

Then there is the cost :
” If hospitalization was required after the attack, the victim can expect to stay 3.6 days4 in emergency care. If surgery was required — as it often is for attacks that involve facial and bone injuries — a victim's first night in care can easily reach 20 thousand dollars. “
FWIW...
No I don't. The number of people seriously hurt each year by pit bulls alone is simply not an astronomical number that's required to make the insane response by the media justified.
That’s a detestable POV.
And yet not half as bad as people who want the government to step in and ban any and everything that poses any slight risk of someone getting hurt.
Reminds me of when the sale of lawn darts was banned in 1988 because a grand total of three children died.
