Police in Nassau County N y. are searching door-to-door for two pit bulls that went on a bloody rampage attacking a teenage boy and three women during a 30-minute period Wednesday (Feb 13.
and Reconstructive Surgery found that almost 51 percent of the attacks were from pit bulls almost 9 percent were from Rottweilers
And a 2011 study from the Annals of Surgery revealed that attacks by pit bulls are associated with higher morbidity rates higher hospital charges
and a higher risk of death than are attacks by other breeds of dogs. The authors of that 2011 study go on to say Strict regulation of pit bulls may substantially reduce the U s. mortality rates related to dog bites.
The state of Maryland has determined that pit bulls are inherently dangerous and all owners are liable for any injuries they cause according to the Baltimore sun. Even the U s army has acknowledged that pit bulls are high-risk dogs;
they are prohibited therefore in some military housing units. Pit bulls join several other breeds on the list of dogs that are recognized as more likely to attack
