Those are some of the numbers (aka, cold, hard facts) which a certain type of supporters of the breed are eager to ignore - and to make the public believe they don't exist.
I'm not speaking about the genuinely decent person who is an amazing, responsible dog owner, loves their Pitbull-type dog, raises and trains them well, and does their utmost to keep them, and everyone around them, safe. Those dog owners deserve our respect and our support!
Instead, I'm speaking about the kind of people who'll resort to vile insults and racist comments if anyone speaks up and presents facts such as these presented right here. However, the truth will not be silenced - it speaks for itself, and it speaks loud and clear indeed. There is a staggering increase in the number of fatalities since 2013, compared to the years between 1991 and 1998. The question is, WHY? What could have caused such a drastic increase in Pitbull / Pitbull-Type / Pitbull-Mix related deaths?
"U.S. fatal pit bull attacks have surpassed 400 since 1998; the last year the CDC studied fatal dog attack data by breed. In the last 8-year period of the CDC study (1991 to 1998), pit bulls averaged 2.9 deaths per year. From 2013 to 2020, pit bulls averaged 28.4 deaths per year, an increase of over 850%."
