Very little chance of them killing you though.

A 4 year old little girl was killed near where I live here in South Louisiana last week by a 130lb pit bull, one of the largest I've ever heard of. She was watching TV with her mother when it attacked her head and neck area out of the blue. She died a horrible death as the mother tried in vain to get the dog to stop. She finally freed her daughter and ran to a bedroom and shut the door and handed the kid through the window to cops outside who finally entered the apartment and killed the dog. There was never any incident in the dogs past that was violent according to family members. The whole community is grieving.

It seems often the dog was just fine till it killed somebody.

People don't pay attention to pet behavior - dogs usually give off a lot of signals and people are idiots.

And that shows people shouldn't have these things. If a dog gets irritated it should growl, not maul a 2 year old.

I used to have a dog that was part Chow and he was ornery from the start.

Chows are another poor choice in pet.

Dog's very seldom attack out of the blue - there are usually warning signs that people ignore or don't recognize

Ya, the warning sign was, it's a Pit Bull

130lbs? I dont think that was a pit.

More and more people have dogs that are part pit bull.

That probably accounts for some of the high number of attacks. That and labeling any dog that looks anywhere close to a pitbull a pit.

The solution to the problem is to eradicate all pit bulls. Remove them from the planet: they are a menace, especially to children.
.

Funny. I feel the same way about central planners.

 

[Plasmaball]

This happens so often, and people think it is okay to have pit bulls in a home with children. So sad.

I'm not in favor of firearms. The solution to the problem is to eradicate all pit bulls. Remove them from the planet: they are a menace, especially to children.
.

is this serious

Still makes me wonder why people keep pit bulls as pets. Sounds almost like keeping a rattlesnake, and giving it the run of the neighborhood. I had a boxer, and he caused enough trouble, but he didn't attack or maul anybody. Nor did any other boxers I ever heard of.

But the other thing that occurred to me was... if the mother had had a handgun in her pruse, her daughter probably wouldn't be nearly as torn up now, as she is. But in this incident, the mother apparently had nothing but her bare hands, to fight off the pit bull. She sailed in and fought the dog, of course. But apparently the fight went on and on, until a cop finally arrived and used his weapon to shoot the dog, which ended the fight. Result: Mother injured, daughter BADLY injured. And either or both of them could have been killed, before the cop finally arrived.

If the mother had had a handgun nearby, and had practiced with it, the fight with the dog would have been over a lot sooner, and very likely the injuries would have been a lot less.

Firearms. They aren't just for fighting off bad GUYS. Too bad so many politicians and other leftists think law-abiding people shouldn't have them. If they weren't so hysterical on the subject, maybe that woman's little daughter wouldn't be in a hospital with half her face torn off right now.

League City police shoot dog as it mauls mother and child

By Dale Lezon | March 31, 2014 | Updated: March 31, 2014 10:58am

A mother and her 2-year-old daughter were rushed to the hospital after a dog attacked them at an apartment in League City.

The attack occurred about 8:45 a.m. in the 2800 E. League City Parkway, said Officer Reagan Pena, a spokeswoman for the League City Police Department.

Pena said when officers arrived, a very aggressive pit bull dog was mauling the child and her mother was trying to protect her. An officer was forced to shoot and kill the canine to stop the attack.

Pena said preliminary information indicated the woman was pet-sitting the dog, which belonged to her boyfriend. It was not known what prompted the attack.

Pena said the child was flown by LifeFlight medical helicopter to Memorial Hermann hospital while her mother was taken by ambulance to the same hospital. The girl had severe injuries on her head and face. Her mother had injuries on her arms and hands.

People are retarded. Why would you inject a pit with steroids? That dog is a little more than twice the weight of my biggest pit. I cant imagine how strong that dog was. He looks like he has some bull mastiff in him but I cant tell if that is the result of the steroids.

BBC News - Dog attacks prompt research into aggressive behaviour it will be interesting to find out the results of this study.

They had to shoot him 12 times to put him down.

another attack today. One common theme I see is they always seem to go for the head and face.

 

[sarahgop]

any parent of a child that owns a pit bull should be charged with attempted murder. all pit bulls should be exterminated.

the smaller dogs were the big biters in the PO.....Cocker Spaniels and Beagles were little basterds....

Very little chance of them killing you though.

ever been attacked by a vicious pack of Chihuahuas?.....

Who ever owns him should be charged with man slaughter or murder. That crap makes me sick.
