Asking Chet for data that provides some perspective is akin to asking Obama about the redeeming factors of capitalism.

There is data out there. Perhaps the most cited, but also the most flawed data you'll find comes from a PETA symp named Clifton Merritt. His study has been soundly debunked, but continues to be referenced by pit bull haters. I'm pinging solosmoke, who has personally done a lot of research on the matter, and probably has a lot of the data at his fingertips.
