    Your sources are a personal injury law firm and a victim’s advocate website.

    Are they taking their numbers from media reports?

    Your first source says 60% of dog fatalities are from dogs with Pits in their bloodline…

    So mixed breeds are being counted as full pits for the sake of building a case?

    Which further confirms my statement that you do not have true scientific numbers to support your claims. Ambulance chasers are not scientists. I don’t think that needs to be explained to you.

      Ok so you cannot prove your original point and refuse to even discuss it. Got it.

      So mixed breeds are being counted as full pits for the sake of building a case?

      Can you define a pure breed pit bull? All dogs are cross bred, its why these umbrella terms exist. And because you can’t confirm a pure bred dog then all statistics about these animals should be dismissed. Additionally you are pinning your entire argument on a lack of a centralised police data base: as if they are the only authority regarding dog breeds.

      Such a reductive argument. I also doubt you read both my links considering how quickly you replied. My second one provides yearly breakdowns with incident listings and the source confirming breed, gender and causes for the attacks.

      Are they taking their numbers from media reports?

      Maybe read what was provided to you and find out for yourself.
