Dog Attack Deaths and Maimings, U.S. & Canada,
Statistics compiling: U.S. and Canadian between September 1982 and December 2011, Merritt Clifton, (editor Animal People), shows the breed most responsible for serious injury and death.
Pit bulls:
77% of attacks that induce bodily harm
73% of attacks to children
81% of attack to adults
68% of attacks that result in fatalities
76% that result in maiming
A lot of Animal Rights leftists see breed specific legislation as a foot in the door towards ultimately outlawing pet and animal ownership all together; Clifton falls into this group.
If you care to associate yourself with his *science*, you'll also conclude that animal husbandry is a cause of global warming, and vegeterianism is the way to go.
Feel free to lay down with him, but don't be surprised if you get up with fleas.
