lists 8 deaths in 2011 so far.
1 by breed: cane corso
2 by breed: rottweiler
5 by breed: pit bull
for 2010:
out of 34 deaths by dog, 23 were by pitbull
so 67% of all deaths by dog in '10 are from one breed. The pit bull. |
So far in the USA there's be 19 deaths by lightning strike for 2011.

The odds of being killed by a lightning strike are almost 4 times that of being killed by a Pittbull.
Now, of course one has nothing to do with the other and we obviously can't ban lightning but it certainly demonstrates the rarity of what we're actually talking about here.
