Notes -
Seems hard to find the actual stats on their site besides that they received 22 dogs out of the ones seized.
Pitbulls were bred for fighting. In 2020 they accounted for 72% of dog attack deaths while making up about 6.2% of the total U.S. dog population. They are also the most likely to bite, period. The findings showed that dogs with short, wide heads who weighed between 66 and 100 pounds were the most likely to bite.
Pit bulls were responsible for the highest percentage of reported bites across all the studies (22.5%), followed by pit/mixed breeds (21.2%), and German shepherds (17.8%).
Pit bulls were found to have the highest relative risk of biting, as well as the highest average damage per bite.
