ccording to a study by University Hospital in Austin, Texas, attacks by pit bulls are more likely to
kill people than attacks by dogs of other breeds. Researchers examined hospital records of serious dog bite injuries over the past 15 years. All three deaths during that period were the result of pit bull attacks. All told, the hospital’s trauma and
emergency personnel treated 228 patients with dog bite injuries. The breed of dog was identified in 82 of those cases. Roughly 35% of those 82
cases involved pit bulls. Researchers found that pit bull
attacks result in much higher hospital charges ($10,500 versus $7,200). In the article published in the April
2011 issue of Annals of Surgery, the researchers conclude, “Fortunately, fatal dog attacks are rare, but there seems to be a distinct relationship between the severity and lethality of an attack and the breed responsible. These breeds should be regulated in the same way in which other dangerous species, such as leopards, are regulated.”
