[QUOTE="klein, post: 619600, member: 23950"] [B]Dangerous Dog Breed Statistics [/B] Analyzing a sampling of press accounts from Canada and the USA during 1982-2007, researchers pinpointed the dog breeds that are most likely to cause death or serious injury. This research study concluded that, unlike any other breed of dog, Pitbulls attacked adults almost as often as they attacked children. The researchers found that Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and Wolf-Dog Hybrids combined to account for: [LIST] [*]77% of attacks that caused bodily harm to the injured dog bite victims. [*]73% of attacks that harmed children. [*]83% of attacks that injured adults. [*]70% of attacks that resulted in death. [*]77% of attacks that maimed the dog attack victims. [/LIST]Another study looked at data obtained from incidents where victims were mauled by dogs during 1982-2006 and found that Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Perro de Presa Canario, and their mixes caused 65% of the dog bite deaths during that time period in the United States. Some sources claim that the six types of dogs commonly identified as the most dangerous or vicious dog breeds are Akitas, Chow-Chows, Doberman Pinschers, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and Wolf-Dog Hybrids. A study looked at a selection of dog bite incidents from 2006-2008 in the United States. Out of the 88 dog attacks studied: [LIST] [*]Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and American Bulldogs were responsible for 77% of all deaths. [*]Pit Bulls were responsible for 59% of all deaths. [*]Pit Bulls killed more adults than children. [/LIST][B]Dog Bite Victim Statistics [/B] [LIST] [*]Out of the almost five million people bitten by dogs every year in the United States, close to 900,000 require medical attention. Nearly 400,000 of those people are seriously injured by dog bites. [*]Over 31,000 people underwent reconstructive surgery in 2006 due to dog attacks. [*]People are most often harmed by dogs that they live with. As the number of dogs kept in the home increases, so does the risk of dog bites. Adults living with two or more dogs are five times more likely to be bitten by a dog than those without dogs at home. [*]Adult males are more likely to be bitten by a dog than adult females. [*]Some studies have found that, among all ages of children, the rate of dog bite accidents is highest for those between the ages of 5-9. [*]Children are more likely than adults to require medical attention for their dog bite injuries. [*]In the US, the most frequent victims of dog bite attacks are:[LIST=1] [*]Children [*]The Elderly [*]Postal Service Carriers [/LIST] [*]Dog bite victims account for as much as 5% of all emergency room visits in the United States. [/LIST]Finally, it's important to remember that dog bite prevention, first and foremost, comes down to the dog owner. Owners are the ones responsible for following leash laws and other legal restrictions that help keep people safe and stop dangerous dog attacks before they happen. [/QUOTE]
