This past week, Montreal voted on and passed a law that will ban all new "pit-bull type dogs" in all 19 of its boroughs, and strict laws will be placed on all existing pits and their owners. The specifics of this law state that any dog that is a "pit-bull" (I'm going to ignore the fact that "pit bull" is not a breed, but a wide range of terrier-like dogs) and has not been adopted yet will be euthanized. On average, over 700 "pit-bull" type breeds come into Montreal animal shelters per year. Also, those who already own a "pit-bull" type breed will have to pay a $150 fine, go through a criminal background check, keep them muzzled and on a short leash in public, and have them vaccinated and sterilized, or their dog will be euthanized. And how will Animal Control know if it is a "pit bull" type dog? Just by looking, apparently. In light of this incredibly stupid law, here is a list of some things more fatal than "pit bulls".

In a study by the CDC, in 2000 "pit bulls" were involved in 8 fatal attacks. Things out-ranking fatalities by pits include:
