    This document discusses breed specific legislation (BSL) and the facts around dog bites and fatalities. It notes that "pitbull" is not a single breed but includes American Staffordshire Terriers, American Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and American Bullies. While these breeds are involved in about 30% of fatal dog attacks since 2016, they collectively account for less than 20% of the U.S. dog population. The document also reports that BSL costs an estimated $476 million annually and is ineffective as dog breed identification is often inaccurate.
