I have read these and dogbite.org clearly states that it gets it's info from the media. A biased media in my opinion.
dogbite .org Relies on CDC data which is also bias.Breeds are routinly misidentified by the media and law enforcement.
The word pit bull sells. I have been following this topic for some time and it is pretty obvious.People drink the kool-aid on this conservative site which surprised me.
I have no problem with your opinion. I think dog bite crimes are a horrible thing. I also think picking on a certain breed is counter productive. Bad dogs bite. I don't have the time to post the real data I have seen on this site. Solosmoke has done it for me on past postings on this subject.
I just want to see some positive solutions that work. Not the constant “ban the breed “ I see here from hateful people.
I would give a rats a$$ about this topic if I didn't have 15 years of hands on experience with the breed. I realize they are over bred and they aren't a dog for everyone. To wipe any species of animal, domestic or wild, off the face of the earth seems foolish. It seems it is a good place for people to state how macho they are about killing an animal that can't speak up to defend itself.

Their stats come from county health offices all over our country. Docs and hospitals are required to report dog bites. County animal control tracks all dogs by breed licensed in their home counties. Usually all reported information is forwarded to the county health department who reports it up the chain.
My numbers are not based on the media or on the wives tails of pit bull owners. I have been officially challenged on these numbers many times and they always hold up.
Statistical data does not lie. Statistical data does not get distorted because of bias.
Please stick to supportable facts. Provable truth or properly gathered statistical data count. The “I feel, I know” stuff doesn’t float.
