Dog bite-related fatalities are extremely rare Dog bite-related human fatalities have always been exceedingly rare, though they can attract the kind of publicity that creates an impression that they are more prevalent than they actually are. The annual total of such fatalities has risen and fallen with no discernable trend, while the canine population in the U.S. has continued its steady increase. The chart below shows the number for some common and uncommon injury related fatalities for 2010 (2010 is the most recent year which CDC fatalities are available).

compared to the average 500 children killed and 7,500 injured on average each year by unsecure guns the damage done by dogs is negligible however that doesn't lessen the grief for families and friends of victims of either, but the fact is BSL ignores victims of non pitbulls and furthermore does nothing to prevent similar deaths in the future and that's the ugly truth of it that foamers won't tell and don't seem to care because their primary purpose is the death of any dog that looks like a pitbull and not community safety?
