You don't breed the "attack and hold" trait into a dog, like the Pit, for hundreds of years, and then expect it to be safe around children, the elderly, weak, etc.

SMH at the stupidity of people.

That’s never the impression I’ve had from Cesar as he has a whole pack of them.

Welcome to Hollywood.

NOTHING is real.

Except the suffering, and that's on Santa Monica Blvd, where tricks are for kids, and never on the screen.

We live in a very small town. The house across the street is a rental. New tenants have three pit bulls. Little kids live on either side and mine are directly across.

They are always on a leash or inside as far as I can tell. Praying that all the kiddos are protected.

“..Tochico’s body was found in his garage by a gardener, and judging from the needle in his arm, he died of a self-inflicted steroid overdose.....”

There was a satire label at the top of the article.

Yes, those consequences were a very real possibility just for the fact that the beast existed.

It seems we hear another story every other day about this breed attacking and killing, just because.

What idiot takes that chance with their babies?

Negligent homicide.

If the neighbors yard isn’t fenced. Then fence yours. Advise the neighbors on both sides to do the same. Buy a mosseburg 500 pump with an 18” barrel and load it with #4 buckshot. If they (the dogs) get agressive with a kid put it down. If the owners get agressive put them down. Just saying.

Their backyard is fenced, front is not. I’m hoping that they will be here short term. From what I observe, it looks like a shack up relationship that will be short lived. Hopefully when it ends the dogs go with whoever moves out.

I remember back in the day that whenever one of these attacks happened there would be a LOT of Pit Bull owners here that would come to their defense with a lot of “It’s the owner” comments.

I’ve not seen one in the last couple of years though. I wonder if most or all of them had their own close (or not so close) call with their own pit bull.

In the past month or so there have been many threads here on FR about Pit Bull attacks and there are at least five or six Pit defenders, three of them who resort to Ad hominem attacks at the outset of their arguments.

Good grief, what passes for journalism these days.

You could hardly find a more disjointed, disorganized bit of writing. It looks like a fourth grader wrote it.

pit bulls are particularly dangerous but even the every day dog can snap in an instant...

keep your babies and young children separate from dogs unless you're right there holding them...

I notice that this dog was raised by this family so its not like it was trained to be a killer....

its the nature of the beast..

so very sad for the young family and their now gone young innocent daughter...such a beautiful child...

I can’t think of their screen name, but one of such is a nasty piece of work. Very hostile and breathes wishful threats against critics of pit bulls.

Be sure you’re packing the Glock cause you’re going to be dealing with it’s owner after the spine snaps.

Like, it was so weird. It never did that before. I don’t get it. Weird.

Unimaginable to me. The regrets they must have...

I met a friend’s dog yesterday. She’s a golden retriever. Barely more than a pup, she is energetic and rambunctious. As adorable as she is, I would not want her too close to an infant unless I had total control. Never been blessed with kids so it’s a potential problem I should never have to deal with.

There seems to me a significant difference among different breeds of dogs. I’ve no doubt a dog’s behavior is greatly influenced by how it’s treated and trained by the owner, but genetics seems to play a big difference in what to expect from a dog’s nature.

These animals are bred for this and have been over a hundred years. The only thing weird is idiots that think the issue is weird when it happens.
