Falsely Claimed Our Fatality Data is Based 'Solely' on News Reports
Left: WKYC reporter Carly Flynn Morgan Right: Jennifer Scott, French kissing her pit bull.
DogsBite.org - After Carly Flynn Morgan of WKYC (Cleveland) published an inaccurate article last week, the founder of DogsBite.org, Colleen Lynn, wrote to her and CC'd the General Manager, Micki Byrnes. Morgan claimed our dog bite fatality statistical data was based "solely" on media reports, which is inaccurate. Furthermore, Morgan's research into whether or not pit bulls are more dangerous than other dog breeds was so valueless her piece earns the title of a Pit Bull Hack.
Morgan also claimed the definition of a pit bull is "vague" despite multiple appellate court rulings from her own state that ruled the exact opposite.
In our response, we explain that a "voluminous" number of news reports are collected for each dog bite fatality victim along with a trove of Facebook data -- usually pertaining to dog breed identification. Every year we also file public requests for police reports in cases that lacked sufficient news coverage or had no coverage at all. For each fatal dog attack victim we try to capture 33 different parameters and that cannot be done by "solely" relying on media reports.
Claims Reliable Information "Hard to Find"
Morgan also ignored severe nonfatal dog bite injury medical studies -- the very studies by doctors that cannot be considered "biased" or "unreliable." Last year, we published a special report about retrospective level 1 trauma studies (2009 to 2016) from all U.S. geographical regions. Of the 11 studies, 10 found a higher prevalence of pit bull injuries. The majority of studies since 2011 also found that pit bulls inflict a higher severity of injuries in comparison to all other dog breeds.
"Our data were consistent with others, in that an operative intervention was more than 3 times as likely to be associated with a pit bull injury than with any other breed." Characteristics of 1616 Consecutive Dog Bite Injuries at a Single Institution, July 2016
Unlike Morgan, journalists who do examine this issue often seek out medical studies (See a recent editorial by the Daily Gazette in comparison). Our special report last year about this collection of level 1 trauma medical studies -- -- which are also highly positioned on our Dog Bites Studies page -- makes them that much easier for journalists to find. Morgan's article in part qualifies as a Pit Bull Hack for pretending it is "hard to find" reliable information about this serious health issue.1
We included in our email the "voluminous" number of news reports collected for 31 dog bite fatality victims in 2016 -- over 740 and counting, as some of these cases resulted in criminal charges.

Dear Carly (CC: General Manager, Micki Byrnes)
RE: Reliable information limited regarding Pit Bulls and safety
You erred in your recent piece, stating incorrectly that my nonprofit's "statistics come solely from media reports".
"But the site’s statistics come solely from media reports, which could lead to incomplete information and possible misidentification of breed." - Carly Flynn Morgan
As clearly stated on our website, we also capture a tremendous amount of information via social media. This information is often in regard to dog breed identification when a pit bull is involved. This is above and beyond what the media reports when no dog photographs are released by police or the media and makes our annual January breed ID summaries possible.
2016 Fatal Dog Attack Breed Identification Photographs
2015 Fatal Dog Attack Breed Identification Photographs
2014 Fatal Dog Attack Breed Identification Photographs
2013 Fatal Dog Attack Breed Identification Photographs
Furthermore, on an annual basis, we have at least 5 FOIAs out to collect police report or coroner report information. Sometimes this involves fatal attacks the media has not covered at all or when the information released by police was very limited.
For each fatal dog attack, we try to capture 33 parameters. We cannot do that by "solely" relying on media reports.
Don't forget either that some family members of fatal dog attack victims supply information directly to us as well.
One of the primary ways that we help these families is by writing FOIAs for them.
Last year alone, we collected 3.76 gigabytes of data on just over 30 victims. We have a trove of data in comparison to the three government studies that built the 2000 report by the CDC and AVMA. Their data was based on death records (which have no breed information), newspaper reports and various reports from the HSUS database. Photographs were likely extremely limited if available at all, no video, no police reports, no social media and certainly no contact with direct family members.2
We could have told you this if you would have contacted us before your piece was published.
As far as media reports being "incomplete," that is a misleading statement. We are collecting every source possible then viewing them as a whole. One, two or three media reports are often incomplete, but when there are 35? Remember, we are trying to capture 33 parameters per victim. Breed can be a difficult one, but equally important and difficult to capture are relationships and temporary scenarios, such as, which relative owned the dog, and was that relative visiting the child's home at the time?
Which is another reason why we spend a lot of time on Facebook researching these cases.
I am enclosing the allegedly "incomplete" media reports from 2016 pertaining to 31 victims. This list is still growing too, because some of the cases resulted in criminal trials.
A correct restatement would express that our statistics "primarily" or "largely" come from a voluminous number of media reports.

Morgan's piece qualifies as a Pit Bull Hack for 1.) Failing to contain any useful new information 2.) Perpetuating misinformation 3.) Perpetuating inaccuracies and 4.) Being a lazy journalist.
Study graphic from Characteristics of 1616 Consecutive Dog Bite Injuries at a Single Institution
A recent editorial from The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) that cites medical journal evidence.
Special Note: In the first part of the 4-part study (1979 to 1988) by the CDC pertaining to breeds of dogs involved in fatal attacks, the author points out that the HSUS database was sorely lacking during the early years, which forced the government to rely more heavily on news archives. From 1979 to 1986 the HSUS had only logged 21 deaths, but the CDC found 136 deaths by combining death records with NEXIS (news archives). For the 20 deaths that "appeared in both NEXIS and the HS during 1987 and 1988, the breed(s) of dogs listed was identical in 19 cases (95%). In the 20th case, the HS listed one dog from a multiple dog attack as a collie-German shepherd crossbreed and NEXIS listed the dog as a 'collie-type.'" What this means is that newspaper reports matched reports within the HSUS database 95% of the time in the mid 80s, and the one case that did not was a solid "partial" match that captured the predominant breed. What must be remembered is these cases involve human fatality and media reports are usually multi-sourced, quoting police, animal control, the dog's owner, family members and more.
2The early dog bite deaths, 1979 to 1988, certainly had extremely limited photographic or video information. However, as the study caught up to real time recording of deaths, say by 1995, such footage would have been available in news coverage. But there was no such entity as Google back then or even (largely) the Internet.

I doubt 'lazy' is the proper word, more like 'intentionally misleading'.
Am I the only one that finds it funny that a member of the media claims your data is unreliable because it uses the media as a source?
You go, Colleen! Love the caption to the photo.
Said journo is probably a paid shill for the Dog Industrial Complex.
Have you seen this one?
http://fourleggedfriendsandenemies.blogspot.com/2017/08/new-york-owner-shocked-his-pit-bull.html
She was sentenced to jail time in the last pit attack and her dogs were PTS. Apparently she ran right out an got another pit. Just thing for someone with 7 ,soon to be 8, kids.
Great response! It's always nice to see facts and logic used to make a point, rather than emotional manipulation like that journalist.
Nowhereman1968, that one is crazy. Her 3 pits severely injured a neighbor, and now her new pit severely injured her son. She says she won't have any more dogs after that. Why didn't she just pick a different type of dog? The family also has a Shepherd-mix. Why not get a smaller, more docile dog around all those kids?
Did you see this one? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-pit-bull-attack-ten-years-later-met-20170825-story.html
It's about the poor kid whose dad thought it would be a good idea to breed pits. After 10 years and 59 surgeries, he still only has 1 eye, prosthetic ears, and a cadaver nose.
I saw that Chicago Tribune story linked in the comments at a different pit bull attack story. A pitiot actually said something along the lines "Notice that he is doing fine now and he doesn't say he wants pits banned?"
Just when I think I have seen how low they will go one comes along and tunnels under that.
Nowhereman1968, I am constantly amazed at the comments pit supporters make. They include extreme leaps of logic and multiple fallacies, emotional manipulation, and falsehoods, often leading to aggressive ad hominem attacks and outright stupidity! I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it now so often myself. Of course, this seems to merely be a reflection of the growing lack of logic, knee-jerk responses, and emotional hysteria we see in our culture at large (and the decreasing intelligence, perhaps?) Very sad.
