Kindly provide a source for your numbers, especially when compared with other fatalities caused by things other than dogs.
My point is this: your stats were given to prove a point, but they are not quantified. For example, if all of the annual fatalities caused by dogs turns out to be 100 dealths TOTAL, and 59% of those deaths (60 fatalities) are caused by pit bulls, then the numbers don't look that alarming, do they?
Why not ban cars? They cause a lot more deaths per year than dogs. Why not ban living? Living people die more than dead people do, after all....
It is amazing how statistics can be so easily scewed, isn't it?!?
