[QUOTE="Jon K., post: 672599, member: 22460"] Thump; I thought I was done with this, as I admit (again) that I have pushed to far, but I must respond to your charges of "creative writing". This is cut from a CDC article. I ain't makin' it up. And deeply resent your implication of such. The only thing I added was the " :whiner: " "1: Pediatrics. 1996 Jun;97(6 Pt 1):891-5. Related Articles, Links Fatal dog attacks, 1989-1994. Sacks JJ, Lockwood R, Hornreich J, Sattin RW. Division of Unintentional Injury Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA 30341, USA. OBJECTIVES. To update data on fatal dog bites and see if past trends have continued. DESIGN. To merge data from vital records, the Humane Society of the United States, and searches of electronic news files. SETTING: United States. SUBJECTS. U.S. residents dying in the U.S. from 1989 through 1994 from dog bites. RESULTS. We identified 109 dog bite-related fatalities, of which 57% were less than 10 years of age. The death rate for neonates was two orders of magnitude higher than for adults and the rate for children one order of magnitude higher. Of classifiable deaths, 22% involved an unrestrained dog off the owner's property, 18% involved a restrained dog on the owner's property, and 59% involved an unrestrained dog on the owner's property. [B]Eleven attacks involved a sleeping infant;[/B] (emphasis mine) 19 dogs involved in fatal attacks had a prior history of aggression; and 19 of 20 classifiable deaths involved an unneutered dog. Pit bulls, the most commonly reported breed, were involved in 24 deaths; the next most commonly reported breeds were rottweilers (16) and German shepherds (10). involved a restrained dog on the owner's property, and 59% involved an unrestrained dog on the owner's property. " There is a bunch of other stuff, but those are the numbers that I find myself defending. Here is the link; [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=8657532&dopt=Abstract[/url] This is not the article that I had found previously, that one was from the American Pediatric people. Of course I can't find it now, but 11 out of 109 is about the same numbers that I recall. I firmly stand by everything I have posted. I repeat; the nerves are very close to the surface on this issue, as I have first-hand experience. And expect to be able to voice said experience and opinion without being accused of "doctoring" some figures. [/QUOTE]
