OT: Another day another child mauled to death by a pitbull

[vs540husker]

This happened yesterday afternoon, and these “nanny dogs” need to go extinct.

“A 13-month-old boy was killed after being mauled by a family pit bull in Granite Bay on Friday, according to a release from the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.

Officers received a call around 3 p.m. from a house where the boy had been attacked by the pit bull. The attack happened in the living room of the house and appears to be unprovoked,according to the sheriff’s office.

He was taken to a Roseville hospital, where hewas pronounced dead, according the release. The pit bull was taken away by Placer CountyAnimal Control. It is unknown where in Granite Bay the incident occurred.”

Btw, wtf kind of statement is “unprovoked” doing in that article?! It’s a f*cking 13 month old baby!!

 

[SkerInCo]

In.

 

[otismotis08]

Parents?

 

[Rocky Mtn Husker]

Definitely a breed prone to this kind of thing. Would never have one anywhere close to any of my kids. That said, there’s a lot of folks who have had ones that have been good family dogs.

 

[tpmcg]

pit bulls dont kill, people do.

 

[slwags]

I’m sure the owners will say he was the nicest dog and never showed aggression before.

Theres already some tired threads about this stupid topic.

I'm guessing maybe unprovoked means the toddler was hitting the dog. Dog just snapped. I sure wouldn't have kid that age around dogs let alone a pit bull who has the temperament of a psycho ex girlfriend even though she might have been fun, entertaining and a novelty

 

[EATAFAT1]

I would certainly never have my kids around one(as an owner), and I would never let my kids around people who own one. I really dont give a S#$T what anyone thinks.

I had to go to the emergency room for surgery on my face, thanks to a cocker spaniel. Another time, I had to get stitches after a cocker spaniel attacked me on my paper route. If it were up to me, that entire breed of dog would be eradicated from the earth.

Oddly enough, I love pitbulls and would gladly have one in my house. Well, what might be called a pitbull. You know that's not really a breed, right? There are something like 20 different types of dogs that people group together to call pitbull.

I'm not saying you're wrong OP, but c'mon. How bout each and every one of us post a new topic today about what we're outraged about? Go write your representatives.

A kid killed my pitbull

 

[Crazyhole]

Dachshunds are more aggressive and more likely to attack a person than pitbulls. They have killed infants, toddlers, and grown-ups alike.

Sometimes perspective is a good thing.

BTW, this comes from someone who has owned dachshunds for 36 years.

 

[tpmcg]

my neighbors dachshunds bark at me relentlessly if i make even the slightest noise.
id imagine theyd kill me if they got loose.
im slower than i used to be, and not as fat as i used to be, but id gather itd take a good week to get the job done.

 

[SC_'sker]

Pit owners are almost always trashy, lower-class people. Not surprised that they're dumb enough to keep defending these vicious dogs. Pit owners should be charged with murder or attempted murder whenever their 'pet' attacks someone.

 

[husker2612]

There are approximately 3.6 pit pulls in the us. On average they kill 21 people per year. This is the same stupid argument as assault rifles. Anything can kill anyone if left in the hands of irresponsible/idiotic people. There are more important things to be concerned about in this life.

We just have a general lack of accountability. If we actually held people to account for violence with a dog or a gun we might make a difference. Too many snowflake liberals and conservatives to actually address the problem. Some people are just too stupid to have kids, own animals or weapons.. but, boohoo, its my right. No, it is a privilege you should have to earn the right to have any of the three things mentioned above..

Dear god man! Roughly 4 dogs are killing 21 people a year!?!? I think we all can agree on putting down those specific 3.6 dogs.

Ugggg...stop...there are lots of PB breeds sure...but everyone knows the "one" that everyone is talking about.

color me skeptical

 

[JohnRossEwing]

I would rather have a room filled with bear traps that are set and ready to go and banana peels and marbles on the floor.

 

[RedSea]

a lot of apt complexes ban them and a few other breeds. no accident.

What a stupid article,like saying another person killed with a gun ban all guns.

For me the difference is, the dog is not an inanimate object. I'm not saying ban them...I'm just saying.

 

[Husker Sledge]

I never understood the infatuation with pit bulls? What's wrong with having a nice Lab or Golden Retriever? Guess they're not tough enough for some people. Frickin dumb.

I think it is almost a "I will show them" attitude.

I know you are joking, but probably not a topic I would joke about. We all know that pitbulls are by far the most likely dog breed to attack people and to kill people. And 2nd place is a distant 2nd.

Wow @ that last graphic.

 

[HesJustAFriendISwear]

dumb thread, and even dumber people commenting.

 

[bmb81664]

The problem is the trash people who breed them left and right. Most end up in shelters and decent people for the most part adopt them. I would bet the ones that do attack were never adopted by these decent owners. All animals from shelters are spayed and neutered. We could outlaw breeding them but trash don't follow the law.

I blame the parents though not the dog. It was their dog and their home. They took an unnecessary risk.

Those are the same kind of statistics I have also seen from different sources. Pit Bull attacks are off the chart in comparison to other dogs. I'm a big time dog lover, and like them more than most people, but even I would have the entire species put down, as there is no place for an animal like that in our society.

Yup. I used to have a Dachshund. Sweetest dog in the world. She hated kids and wanted nothing to do with them

 

[Baxter48]

Cesar Milan says it’s the people raising the dogs that are the problem. Lots of pit bull owners are crack heads and use the dog to keep people away from their stash. But I know several people that have pit bulls and there big babies, however from little on up I was taught how to treat and deal with dogs especially bigger ones. You learn to understand the dogs actions. You learn to back off. And yes you don’t have little kids around them. Hell we won’t let small children around our German shepherd unless the child is basically sitting on the adults lap. And we still watch the dog like a hawk

 

[huskernaut]

The dog was just getting his life back together.

overbreeding and poor ownership ruined them. i thought about getting a pit mix a couple years ago, but backed off when a couple of ‘em gnawed an old lady’s head off here in okc.
dont need that liability.
