Here is a site that does follow up investigations of news reports of DBRFs and other attacks.
It identifies and analyzes the factors involved in and contributing to the particular dog attack.
If you want the most accurate unbiased information on dog attacks, that I’ve found,
including public policy options to deal with dog attacks, and a library of Research materials, this is a site you might consider.
fwiw...I highly recommend it.

Thank you for posting the link but as the dead are still dead, the maimed are still maimed and the traumatized are still traumatized by pit bulls, and I’ve seen more proof than I needed via video already, I won’t be following up on it anytime soon. Lots to do.
Man, Kanawa, that site is pretty bad. Here’s an excerpt:
“An individual is about as likely to be killed by
a forklift or a cow as by a dog bite, even though only a very small
percentage of the population is exposed to either.5,6 (The cattle figure
is probably low, as the only counts available are for work-related
injuries). Children under 10 are three times as likely to drown in a five gallon
bucket, and as likely to die on playground equipment, as from
a dog bite.7,8 “
I looked because I think I recognized something about it - the way it references “factors”. I easily used logic to rip a report apart with ease years ago that relied on “factors” - it’s not science. But today I started to look at the revised 2nd edition and hit the bit about just how rare fatalities from dog bites are. I believe there are too many fatalities per year because pits kill more people than all other breeds combined - get rid of pits and drop the death rate to less than 50%. This article starts off banging the drum really hard saying dog bit deaths are rare and makes irrelevant comparisons. The comparison to 5 gallon buckets, cattle and fork lifts is just so far off. People don’t need to own pit bulls with so many other more reliable types of dogs and pets available. Man that website and its report a mess - total propaganda from page 1. Pass.
