My brother almost had an eyelid ripped off from a German Shepard. That was back around 1980. He was about 12 years old. What a mess. I picked him up at the house when it happened. I wanted to kill the owner. The owner calls and says theres been an accident, that my brother fell and hit his face on a planter. I get there and he tells me the dog bit his face. Then, All night in a hospital. An hour of surgery to reattach.
Not saying that other breeds don’t maul and kill. This is an excellent example.
The problem being discussed is that one “breed-type” of dog is killing people at the rate of 10 to 11 times their numbers, at a minimum. (appx 6% of the population, and 66% of the deaths), - deaths which did not even appear in any numbers at all until about 30 years ago.
This number does not include human maulings or other pet or livestock maulings or deaths.
