Dog attacks

diymirage said
better, but still missing some key information

for instance, it lists the St bernard and the great dane as number 10 and 9, both with 7 fatalities over 20 years

it would be helpfull to know if the numbers of those dogs are about the same, or if one was 3 times more popular then the other

The American kennel Society also lists Pitt Bulls as the most dangerous of breeds at being the subject of 72% of all fatal dog attacks. Second only to the Rott at 10%. Can't find the link but they even suggest it might not be a bad idea to let the breed fade away.

now, back on topic for me.

We have two cats, one older and one young. The older one is a kermudgeon and is constantly harassed by his younger pal. They "play fight" and the younger "stalks" everything. I'm of the mindset that as studies have suggested if cat was big enough, they'd kill you just as soon as look at you. They are "self domesticated" meaning they tolerate us because it's convenient for them to do so. lol.

The younger one does something we've never seen before. He tries to mimic bird chirps and it's different with each thing he's stalking.. from our chickens to barn swallows. Darndest thing.
