Fewer dog bites since pit bull ban

Fewer dog bites since pit bull ban | Winnipeg | News | Winnipeg Sun

Has Winnipeg’s 1990 pit bull ban prevented serious dog attacks?

A new study suggests that might be the case.

A University of Manitoba study found breed-specific legislation (BSL) that banned “pit bull terrier-type dogs” in Winnipeg was followed by only a slight dip in the number of people hospitalized after dog bite injuries. The average rate of hospitalizing bites in Winnipeg pre-ban was 2.93 per 100,000 people per year, which dipped to 2.81 post-ban.

But when you compare injured youth in Winnipeg to Brandon, a city without BSL, the apparent decline is more noticeable.

Dr. Malathi Raghavan found that for every hospitalization seen in Brandon youth, there were 1.28 hospitalizations before BSL and 0.92 hospitalizations after BSL in Winnipeg.

This all comes back to selective breeding. For some unknown reason we cannot pick and choose human traits to breed out of our species!
