According to dogbite.org, from 2006 through 2008, 19 dog breeds were blamed for the deaths of more than 80 Americans. More than half of those deaths were caused by Pit bulls.

But is a ban the only way to control attacks? We want to know what you think. So leave your thoughts in the comment box below.
