So the media is going to take the time to report a child mauling as long as it is done by a Pit Bull but, if a German Shepherd rips a child’s throat out, reporters are more likely not to bother covering that story and instead report on the local garbage pickup schedule. Most vicious dog maulings are local news, anyway.

One more time: how can you say other breeds attack humans just as much as pit bulls when there is no evidence for it? Obviously, it cannot be a media conspiracy. I am just asking for proof.

Tried to give it, you won’t pay attention.

Statistical Sources (http://www.dogbitelegalcenter.com/resources/dogbite-statistics.html): Nonfatal Dog Bite-Related Injuries Treated in Hospital Emergency Departments - United States, 2001. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5226a1.htm. Vet Med Today: Special Report, Breeds of Dogs Involved in Fatal Human Attacks in the United States between 1979 and 1998 (JAVMA, Vol. 217, No. 6, September 15, 2000); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, Dog-Bite-related Fatalities - United States, 1995-1996 (MMWR, Vol. 46/No. 21, May 30, 1997).

I’m sure there’s more out there.
