Summary and Discussion

Age Group % Severe

In a 6-month period (January to June 2009), 318 media

reported pit bull attacks were recorded. 388 victims sustained

bite injuries in these attacks and each incident produced just

over one bite victim (1.2 per incident). Of the injured victims,

64% (248) suffered severe bite injury[1] and 36% (140)

suffered minor bite injury. Of the severely injured victims, 4%

(10) suffered the loss of one or more body parts totaling 16

severed parts. 2% (6) of these victims suffered death by a fatal

pit bull mauling.[2]

The 21-54 age group suffered the most pit bull bites 42%

(163), followed by the 5-11 group with 24% (94) and the 12-20

group with 13% (51). The combination of two groups (0-4 and

5-11) with 36% still incurred fewer bites than the 21-54 group.

Yet the combined 0-11 group suffered a higher percentage of

severe injury, 72%, than the 21-54 group, which suffered 60%.

The group that incurred the highest rate of severe injury

by pit bulls was 0-4 with 84% followed by 5-11 with 66%.

Property information was available in 310 incidents. The data

shows that 68% (212) of the pit bull bites occurred off owner

property and 32% (98) occurred on owner property. This is a

reversal of non-breed specific dog bite data, which consistently

reports that up to 70%[3] of bites occur on the dog owner's

property. As documented in this 6-month report, as well as the

DogsBite.org 3-year fatality study, pit bulls escape owner

property and inflict bites at a substantially higher rate than other

dog breeds.

States with the highest number of pit bull attack victims

included: Texas (38), Florida (34), Ohio (21), Pennsylvania and

Virginia (each with 18) and New York (16). Counties with the

highest number of victims included: Allegheny, PA (8), Essex,

MA and Dallas, TX (each with 7) and Cook, IL, Marion, IN,

Clark, NV and Salt Lake, UT (each with 6).
