Dog Bite Laws Essay

Although these dogs are stereotyped as being "dangerous", bite statistics, when accurately reported, do not back up those claims. The first thing is to find out which dogs are doing the biting. Dundee Hospital in the UK conducted a study designed to analyze bite reports and medical attention required by bite victims over a three month period before and after the implementation of a breed ban specifically targeting pit bulls. The results indicated no change in the number of bites reported. Banning pit bulls did nothing to change the amount of dog bites.

Many bites could be avoided by the education of dog owner no matter the breed. Like mentioned earlier many people leave their dog with their kids unattended.

Ms. Diverlbliss husband was hitting the victim dog with his crutches to get the dog to let go of his dog. Mr. Divelbliss stated that Mr. Todd was unable to get his dog to let go of his and was trying to open his dog mouth with his hands resulting in his injuries. The dogs were eventually separated. Ms. Diberlbliss was unable to show proof of a dog license or vaccinations. I confirmed with Fairfield County Deputy Sheriff J. Warner to determine if that was the story he was presented, he confirmed it was. Deputy Sheriff J. Warner also talked to the victim via phone advising me that the offending dog bite him. Deputy Sheriff J. Warner is a witness to Mr. Todd stating that the offending dog bite him.

Using the death based approach, 66 out of 76 of the Pit bull type were purebreds and the rest were crossbreeds, 17 out of 27 were purebreed German Shepherd dogs, 7 out of 8 were purebreed Saint Bernards, and 1 out of 5 were Labrador Retrievers (Stacks et al. 838). The rest of the totals were cross breeds. Using the dog-based approach, 98 out of 118 were purebred Pit bull-type, 24 out of 41 were German Shepherd, and 7 out of 8 were purebreed Saint Bernard (Stacks et al. 838). Out of all these studies, they found out that 24% were deaths involved with unrestrained dogs off the owner's property, 58% were unrestrained dogs on the owner's property, and 17% involved restrained dogs on the owner's property, and 1% involved a restrained dog off the owner's property (838). This however can be justified, most of these dogs bite for a reason just like people may lash out on other people if they are mad or angry.
