Data on Dog Attacks – Let's make logical decisions to ensure public safety

Information on Dog Attacks

I applaud our commission for taking steps in the right direction. This
is something that needs to be addressed.

Of all 3,655 Dog-Attack Fatalities / Maimings since 1982; 2,394 were attacks by Pit-Bulls or close mixes.

3,064 were by large molosser breeds including: Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Presa
Canarios, Cane Corsos, mastiffs, Dogo Argentinos, Fila Brasieros, and their mixes.
