I am concerned about the information provided on the "pit bull" and "American Pit bull terrier" pages. The studies sited are fairly dated. In addition,I truly question some of the validity of these studies. They come from low powered journals. I think if you are going to site what percentage of "fatalities" occur from pit bull "attacks", you need to include the data of how many dog bites actually are from "pit bull type" dogs. I work in an operating room and out of roughly 220ish dog bites (both adult and pediatric) I have come encountered 2 cases that were actually related to pit bulls. Both cases were dogs that were fighting and the human trying to break them up. I think whomever constructed the "studies" section of the aforementioned pages is a staunch pit bull hater. The "studies" section should present in a scientific and neutral fashion. The entire section is a highly fashioned form of fear mongering. In addition, an update to the the latest studies on Breed Specific legislation should also occur.
