what the heck is going on! CPS should be alerted to people that post pictures a pit bull that has proven itself in society as a mauler of children. No one like the CPS, once they get on your back they're like a leach. How does having your newborn around a pit, or any dog make you responsible? It doesn't! All dogs are pack animals and will establish themselves according to pack status, your dog may respect you as the Alpha Male, or Delta Female, but it still will attack others in its 'pack' to maintain its status within it's new 'pack' family.

  Anthony Michael Ridge actually the numbers are higher, these are confirmed pit bulls as listed by either the owner or the city involved, others could not be specific on the breed because owners failed to register, or had no vet records, why doesn't that surprise me?

  John Tawaroa Pit bulls killed 99%
  
  Pit bulls appear to have inflicted not less than 95% of the total fatal attacks on other animals (43,000). Altogether, pit bulls inflicted 96% of the fatal attacks on other dogs (11,520); 95% of the fatal attacks on livestock (5,700); 95% of the fatal attacks on small mammals and poultry (16,150); and 94% of the fatal attacks on cats (11,280).
  
  About 30,000 pit bulls were involved in attacks on other animals. There are about 3.2 million pit bulls in the U.S. at any given time, according to the my annual surveys of dogs offered for sale or adoption via online classified ads. Thus in 2013 about one pit bull in 107 killed or seriously injured another animal, compared with about one dog in 50,000 of other breeds.
  
  USDA Wildlife Services estimated in 2006 that domestic dogs had killed about 21,900 livestock and poultry in 2004, a number rounded off to 22,000 and recycled in several subsequent reports. USDA Wildlife Services also estimated that domestic dogs killed about 2,700 sheep in 2009. USDA Wildlife Services has not tried to quantify dog attacks on other animals, however, and has not published estimates of the numbers of dogs involved by breed.

  Jamie Carter Park yeah this can't be accurate. We had a few who killed 15 - 20 before they were caught but then you have to prove it and I don't think animals bites were always reported.

  John Tawaroa The most essential part of the exercise was to develop a consistent, systematic, and accurate method of estimating the extent of under-reporting. This began with investigating why these cases came to light, but not others.
  
  As it happened, every account resulting in a media report also involved one or more of three elements: at least one human was injured while intervening in the dog attack, and/or police shot the dog or dogs involved, and/or the victim animals were equines, livestock, or poultry of cash value exceeding $1,000.
  
  Only one of the reported attacks involved dogs killing or injuring other animals belonging to their own household.
  
  For each reported attack, there was probably a minimum of one unreported attack involving animals of the same household, since animals of the same household have more exposure to a dangerous dog than any other animals.
  
  Also, for each reported attack, there was probably at least one unreported attack involving animals not of the same household, in which no humans were hurt, no dogs were shot, and the animals killed or injured could be replaced for less than $1,000.
  
  This may be greatly underestimating the numbers of such attacks, but I prefer to err on the side of caution.
  
  Accordingly, before introducing regional proportional weighting, my assumed ratio of reports to attacks was one-out-of-three.

  Anthony Michael Ridge most figures are the ones that were actually caught in the act, or reported to authorities, and even some of those the owners said it was lab mix with this or that, so yeah figures are much higher, which makes it more of disgrace to victims
