Reply to comment by Diet_Coke in Lost Dog! Union hill area. She’s nervous but friendly and responds to the name Nola. If you see her/find her, try and grab her or call into animal control. by Imadouchebro

Sadly the statistics are there and very clear. Especially for fatalities. Calling everything you don’t like racist seems like an exhausting way to go through life. Hope things get better for you.

Doesn't seem to square with:

>The CDC hasn't collected data on dog breeds wrt dog bites because it's essentially impossible to get accurate information.

(source)

>The CDC strongly recommends against breed-specific laws in its oft-cited study of fatal dog attacks, noting that data collection related to bites by breed is fraught with potential sources of error (Sacks et al., 2000). Specifically, the authors of this and other studies cite the inherent difficulties in breed identification (especially among mixed-breed dogs) and in calculating a breed’s bite rate given the lack of consistent data on breed population and the actual number of bites occurring in a community, especially when the injury is not deemed serious enough to require treatment in an emergency room (Sacks et al., 2000; AVMA, 2001; Collier, 2006). Supporting the concern regarding identification, a recent study noted a significant discrepancy between visual determination of breed and DNA determination of breed (Voith et al., 2009).
