With 8 in a year it isn’t even in the top ten leading causes of death for kids in the US. I remember when it was German Shepherds, then Dobermans. How many of those dogs weren’t trained, and how many of those kids were allowed to fuck with the dogs? These numbers are completely out of context.
If 8 child deaths in a year is enough to ban a breed the states should have banned weapons, cars and any forms of drugs and poisons decades ago.
