    I pointed out that the fact you refuted wasn’t what the person you replied to was asserting.

    There were two claims asserted:

    • “Not a week goes by in the UK without an attack by this breed.”
    • Some survive, many do not.”

    (Emphasis mine) The first is not something I can find evidence for as there seems to be no break down easily availably by breed. And as for the second, most survive , 0.1% do not.

    The down votes being given for asking for data seems like I’m offending some. 🤷

    as far as info on which breeds are involved, I’m sure it’s out there.

    Does not seem to be as you have also failed to find it. There is aggregate data for all dogs, which yes, is easily found actually refused some of the assertions that the person made.

    Banning based on breed seems like a knee jerk reaction based on anecdotes.

      True, “many” seems to be an overstatement. Being mauled by a dog isn’t great, either.

      Does not seem to be as you have also failed to find it.

      That’s a function of how much time I spent looking. You seem to be more engaged in this topic than I am, so perhaps you could find the data.
