26. it's a CDC quote....
highlight this:

(1) fatal bites constitute less than 0.00001% of all dog bites annually,
(2) fatal bites have remained relatively constant over time, whereas nonfatal bites have been increasing, and
(3) fatal bites are rare at the usual political level where bite regulations are promulgated and enforced, we believe that fatal bites should not be the primary factor driving public policy regarding dog bite prevention.


and add this:

In addition, the 'deadliest breed' varies. Oh look...

"...from May 1975 through April 1980 and listed the following breeds as responsible for the indicated number of deaths: German Shepherd Dog (n = 16); Husky-type dog (9); Saint Bernard (8)"

Let's keep making the worst offending breeds extinct till no more stupid owners exist or fucked up accidents occur.

That's the ticket...
