"She had no way of knowing the dog was going to do what it did.”

Dude, it's a bull terrier. Geez.

“As I’ve said, having debated pit bull owners/supporters for pages and pages of FR posts, I now realize that death toll is just fine with pit bull owners - they don’t want breed specific laws and they don’t want the banned breed - they want the rest of us to ‘get used to it’ while telling us we are ‘ignorant’ etc.
I know pit lovers think I’m full of it. Guess what I think of pit bull lovers who want the rest of us to shut up and get used to dogs killing and eating babies?”

My Dobermann grabs my hands and tries to pull them from the keyboard.

Sometimes, he stands up and blocks my view of my laptop screen.

Maybe he’s trying to tell me something, too...:)

I’m not a breeder or any kind of expert, but an American Pit Bull is a different breed than a Bulldog. I’ve never heard of an American Bulldog, but I have heard of the English Bulldog. Could be a mixup in names....

Like the horse that just fell on and killed a 12 year old at a local show?

Ban horses.

Christopher Reeves would agree.

Or the bulls and hogs that maim and kill farm folks every year?

Ban meat animals.

Screw it.

People are killed by some kind of animal every day in this country.

Let’s just kill them all.

Hippos kill 300+ people a year and there are only a few thousand of them in the whole world.

Ban hippos.

You’re ridiculous and hysterical.

Gosh, Don...I’m terribly sorry to hear about your collie.

I’ll keep him in my prayers.

Seven is way too young.

I feel guilty now for grieving the loss of my 14 year old Ibizan Hound, Jack.

I had him so long I can’t remember *not* having him, if that makes any sense.

It was like he’s always been here.

God bless you for your rescue/rehab efforts.

I did the same for Dobes for about 13 years, all by myself.

It was expensive, hard work but they all turned out to be well worth it.

Even the ‘basket cases’ left here for their permanent homes, happy and stable again.

Now I’ve got 3 Ibizan and 1 Portuguese Podengo Medio rescues.

Three of my other Ibizan rescues have since passed away, after having long, happy lives.

Wanna know *the* most common cause of death for children in the US?

_Their own parents_, usually their mother.

Some kids would probably be much better off being raised by dogs.

Ban parents.

“On a thread where a pit has killed and eaten a family member”

The dog did not eat the baby.

Your hysteria/phobia is getting the best of you.

Once you start twisting the details, you lose all credibility.

IMO, this story reeks of the same stench that surrounded another ‘pit kills and eats baby’ story not that long ago.

Turns out the mother killed the baby and literally threw it outside to the dogs.

They can’t testify in a court of law.

[but she got jailed, anyway]

_No one_ actually knows the -true- number for sure because anything that even *remotely* resembles a “pit” automatically gets lumped in with the “pit/’pit type’ dog statistics”.

Some of the ‘killer pits’ I’ve seen photos of were either Boxers or obvious Boxer crosses.

There will be _no_ truth in _any_ of the published statistics until/unless somebody starts DNA testing the offending dogs.

[which can be done for as little as $30 but I doubt anybody would do it, even if it were *free* because it *might* blow their whole agenda right to hell]

A Bull Terrier is an entirely different breed.

Geeze.

You must have been a powerful teenager to choke a pitt bull to death! Quite a feat. A neighbors Springer Spaniel picked up my Yorkie and started shaking him. We were in our garage and I grabbed his head and pounded it against the bumper of the car. The Spaniel finally let go of my Yorkie but there was no way I could have done any more damage to it.

For one, there’s no such thing as an “American Pit Bull Dog”.

Here’s everything you could ever want to know about the “bully” breeds.

Enjoy...:)

[I would *love* to see photos of your dog, though]

I have been told by several vets that dogs don't always recognize babies and small children as human. While they would not be aggressive with an adult, they will attack a child the same way they would attack a rabbit or a squirrel, as prey. That sounds like what the pitt in this story did.
