Pitbulls and Rottweilers make up 77% of all fatal dog bites, despite making up only 6% of the U.S. dog population
Pitbulls are 2.5x more likely to bite in multiple anatomical locations than other breeds.
Pitbulls are responsible for 60% of all injuries and 63% of ocular injuries.
Pitbull terriers are 31% more likely to attack an unknown individual than other breeds
Pitbull terriers are 48% more likely to attack without provocation than other breeds
Pitbull attacks have higher morbidity rates, higher hospital charges, and a higher risk of death than attacks by other breeds.
During 2005-2017, pit bulls killed one citizen every 16.7 days, totaling up to 284 Americans. Rottweilers killed over 105 people during that time period.
From 2005 to 2017, Rottweiler and Pitbull attacks contributed to 76% of all dog bite deaths.
When comparing 2005-2010 to 2011-2017, Pitbull attack deaths have increased from 58% to 71%. Alternatively, Rottweiler deaths decreased from 14% to 7%.
According to a 13-year data set, pit bulls caused 72% of attacks that killed a person 10-years and older vs. all other dog breeds put together.
From 2005 to 2017, 54% of fatal attacks were inflicted by family dogs. Of that 54%, 64% were done by pit bulls. 52% involved killing a family or household member.
When examining a 13-year data set, 54 fatal attacks included a dog killing its primary owner. Pit bulls were the cause of 63% of these deaths, over 8x more than any other type of dog.
Between 2015 to 2017, only 21% of fatal dog attacks resulted in criminal charges. 75% of these cases involved a pit bull.
It is estimated that by 2021, pit bulls would have mauled 441 Americans to death since 1998 and killed 515 Americans since 1980.
The U.S. Army has banned pit bulls from military housing due to their dangerous nature.

animals ranked by how much aura they have
4 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.

First of all the moose doesn't even have that much aura. Second of, whats really missing is that shrimp that can see more colors than what we can see, that should be god tier, or gods, whatever you believe in. I think the angler fish should be higher, shes pretty cool. Hold on, mosquito should actually be obliterated, its not even a consideration. You put the shrimp that can see more colors than us in "eh"? No way. I'm missing a sunfish in goofballs. Wait thats a moose in goofballs, the first one is an elk??? Zero aura, a puffin? What the fuck? Also an elephant seal has crazy aura, he has a harem. OP wishes he had as much aura as a geo duck. thats it. Oh and those birds with the blue are pretty cool too.

Hey /an/
I'm taking my dog to an emergency vet today because I couldn't get an appointment this week with his normal vet. I noticed this lump on his hind leg a couple days ago. I was waiting to see if it went down or something, but it hasn't.
Anyone have any idea what this might be? It's not a dewclaw, the breeder had them removed; and it's too low on his leg. It doesn't seem to hurt. He hasn't changed his behavior or his appetite. He's still running around playing like normal.

How old is the dog? Skin cancers aren't uncommon in older dogs.

Previously on /jg/ (now /jef/) >>5048770

Who is Jefrey (with one F)?

He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, capybaras. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.

Jefrey suffers from mild ear-ectile dysfunction.

Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

What are your top 3 favourite animals? Or top 5 or 10 if you want to
For me, the ring-tailed lemur is #1
The gaboon viper would be #2
And I can't not put a cat in my top 3 so I'd put the snow leopard in #3

Can't really choose, I like most animals and insects/arthropods.

OK these are the top that I would like to free--handle or pet, or hand-feed, that I HAVE NOT yet:

Tarantula hawk (Pepsis)
Desert giant centipede (S. heros)
Medicinal leech (H. medicinalis)
Common American crow (C. brachyrhynchos)
Horseshoe crab
American badger
Wolf

and maybe a capybara, just to learn by osmosis how to be mellow

Man, its hard because there's just a giant pool of animals that I'm indifferent about and then a separate pool of animals I really like.

1. Neanderthals
2. Paradolichopithecus
3/4(Tied). Andrewsarchus or Titanotylopus
5. Cockatoos
