DogsBite.org is a nonprofit organization that advocates for victims of dog bites and breed-specific legislation.[3] It publishes statistics, accounts of incidents, and victim testimonies relating to fatal dog attacks in the United States.[4] Numerous news organizations have cited statistics and comments from DogsBite.org, including Newsweek,[5] Time Magazine,[6] and the New York Post.[7]
The website has been accused of using unreliable methods to collect dog bite data,[4][8] and has been criticized for their labeling of academic and professional veterinary and animal behavior associations, including the American Veterinary Medical Association, as "science whores", accusing them of being paid by dogfighting groups to release false scientific reports and analysis.[9][10] Radio Canada criticized Dogsbite.org for attacking the science community and attributing indirect deaths as dog bite deaths, such as a man from Tennessee who died from alcoholism related complications months after they were bitten by a dog.[11]
