Of the 82,000 animal victims per year, 59,000 die; 23,000 survive their injuries. Among the dead are 15,500 dogs, 95% of them attacked by pit bulls, and 6,000 hooved animals, 93% of them attacked by pit bulls.
Pit bulls also inflict at least 60% of the 29,000 fatal attacks on domestic birds and small mammals, and at least 60% of the 8,250 fatal attacks on cats.
About a third of the fatal dog attacks on domestic birds, small mammals, and cats are by dogs who are not caught and identified, so might also include many pit bulls.
How many other animals did pit bulls kill in 2014?

The ability to own a pet is afforded to most Americans, however a growing number of people are losing these precious pets to attacks by Pit Bulls.
These attacks are horrible painful, and traumatic for the pets, and the owners, and expense of these attacks is often paid for solely by the victims.
Many animal control laws are not enforced, and multiple complaints fall on deaf ears. The cruel and horrifying example, of these attacks can be see, all over the web. Why can a single breed, be allowed to cause so much death and pain? It's time for a change.
