What about the 800,00 annual Dog Bite victims in the US?
Well, this is a concerned article that implies there is another kind of animal aside from the wild kind. I agree that dogs and cats, as we know them, are very well domesticated, but that hasn't stopped "domesticated" dogs from hospitilizing 800,000 people a year in the US alone. Approximately 17 people per year die from dog attack. I love dogs, and exotics too, and I agree that per capita certain exotics (Lions, venomous snakes like cobras and mambas etc.) would have a much higher incidence of fatality, but that's why State's like Florida have permits for keeping them. Now, if the permit were more than just a fee and required a qualification/training process it would be more effective.
