38 U.S. fatal dog attacks occurred in 2012. Despite being regulated in Military Housing areas and over 600 U.S. cities, pit bulls contributed to 61% (23) of these deaths. Pit bulls make up less than 5% of the total U.S. dog population.

Relying on dogsbite.org for information is like relying on some whacky right winger for news on politics. The owner of that site, Colleen Lynn, is very biased against Pit bulls. She was bitten by a Pit bull in 2007 and that fueled her anger. Her story has changed multiple times on the matter. She bases her information on opinion, and not on fact. She is a nobody, and is not educated in canine behavior.
