(Scott H. continued...)

Another article I found showed that statistically Labrador retrievers
were common biters but there is also most likely a fairly large
population of them (statistics can be manipulated with context, type
thing). Why wasn't the history of the ban in Denver included with the
post? The truth of the matter is that if a person really wants to own an
animal that's banned in Denver but not elsewhere then they can move
elsewhere.

Statistically (and these statistics are rather straightforward), "Annual
data from 2017 shows that 38% (15) of the fatality victims were
children ages 9-years and younger and 62% (24) were adults, ages 19-
years and older. Of the total adults killed by canines in 2017, pit bulls
were responsible for 88% (21)."

---and---

"Victims 50-years and older suffered the most, accounting for 75%
(18) of all adult fatalities. Death by adult age groups show: 19-29
years, 13% (3) deaths: 30-49 years, 13% (3) deaths: 50-69 years, 38%
(9) deaths and 70+ years, 38% (9) deaths."

Many elderly people stay active in this city and walk throughout the
neighborhoods; and what are the special requirements all about for the
breed if the ban is lifted? Oh yeah, the dogs have been known to maul
people to death ...

I know those links are easy to find from the dogbite site. But it
is a site that does not use real data and is driven by a charlatan.
