prayers for her and family.

Ditto.
The owner of these dogs should do prison time. The dogs should, of course, have already been destroyed. Finally, when this fat idiot bastard gets out of prison, every nickel he ever earns for the rest of his life should be paid to the victim as restitution. I hope he dies penniless in a ditch.
Many years ago, I had a friend who raised bull mastiffs.
his dogs were very protective, they never left the house or the grounds of the home.
They would protect the children to death.
Some neighbor got a "pittie". It would come over and try to attack his children, but the mastiff would run it off. At one point, his boy was out, the the bull mastiff(Billy) was in the house and the pit started mauling the boy who was about 10. He got away, got in the door and the dog, again was run off by the mastiff. quite a few stitches later, the boy was fine.
My friend mixed about 2lb of ground beef with plaster of Paris. The pit ate every bit of it and was never seen again.
Years ago we had a German Shepherd who would let my kids climb all over her but we lived on a small acreage where she stayed with us or our neighbor and their dogs. Friend of the neighbor towed a vehicle and was talking to the neighbor and my dog had left him alone. His wife came out to visit and the dog went behind the man and bit him through his jeans and broke skin.
Had to kennel her for 10 days and afterwards, I had the vet put her down. He said the first bite is free and unless I was willing to kennel her all the time, putting her down was the right thing.
Before I put her down, I called the guy who she bit and spoke to his wife. Told her if he needed a tetanus shot to get it and I’d pay for it. Told her I was putting the dog down and she got upset. Neighbor told me later that they had two Chows who had bitten people but refused to put them down.
It would have killed me if she hurt a kid. I believe she didn’t like the guy being around the neighbors wife but the vet said that it was concerning that she went behind to bite him.
I’m always armed. My first “warning shot” in that situation would be right into the skull of the lead pit bull. I wouldn’t leave one alive.
Haven’t seen him post these in a couple of years. Hope he is okay.
No it wasn’t. But I agree with you.
Pit Bulls are often owned by owners that want a violent aggressive dog and encourage such. Pits are bred to be violent.
I have seen gentle and loving pits. I know they could snap and become a killing machine. Even the most gentle pit will do such if it perceives its owner in danger even though not in danger.
Pits are bad.
“My friend mixed about 2lb of ground beef with plaster of Paris.”
New one to me. How much PoP to two pounds of hamburger? A friend lost a dog to a serial poisoner and wondering if this wasn’t the mechanism. Not a usual method, so was curious.
True but if they were on her, he risked shooting her.
However, he should have tried to shoot them as they were running.
Just another reason to carry all the time.
Well Ontario has had a sort of ban in place since 2005. They grandfathered it in. No breeding or importation of them. 4 purebred breeds and any cross breed that appear like a pit. They’ve eased a part of it in allowing a dog that looks like a pit but hasn’t attacked anything to be returned to the owner until testing determines if the dog is Pit enough. I assume they have criteria for that.
Anywho we are now approaching 17 years since the ban was passed. The only legal Pits still here had to have been born in 2005 or earlier. We are probably close to zero now. That said people are people and of course we have a few no doubt that are illegal. Like so many things.
WTF? Dogs not confiscated and put down?
Re: “I always carry a gun for safety.”
Another Reason to Carry.
I went to the site for more

My Dear God,
How could even the most
Ignorant soul have a thing
Like this ?
They are MONSTERS.
Don’t feel bad about killing such an animal or pet.
God gave Man dominion over animals. We kill them as needed.
Other breeds do it, but pit bulls bite with much more pressure. They do a lot more damage. And the breeding and training to fight does not help. I would never own one. "
Sore research:
Pit bull mixes make 6% of the US dog population, or 4.5 million.
Not all PB's are problematic as regards unprovoked attacks, and defenders of the breed site Rottweilers a being the worst: Rottweilers, over the last fifteen years, are responsible for the second highest number of serious dog attacks in the country (See Dog Bite Study). The number of serious injuries caused by this breed is highly disproportionate to the number of Rottweilers in the United States. Over a twelve-year period, Rottweilers were responsible for over 10% of fatal dog attacks even though they are less than 3% of the total dog population. Pit bulls have more notoriety for being aggressive because they are responsible for more serious and fatal injures of humans than any breed. However, there are also twice as many Pit bulls as Rottweilers, so statistically speaking, there should be more attacks by Pit bulls than Rottweilers.
When calculating the number of reported bites per breed, Rottweilers are approximately ten times more likely to kill or mangle someone than the average dog. They also are more likely to kill other animals than the average dog. - https://www.oharaattorney.com/news/rottweilers-are-extremely-dangerous-breed/
Back in 1997, there were reports that over the past years, the Rottweiler was responsible for 29 deaths. According to the reports of the Centers for Disease Control, this is the second highest fatality count for any dog breed. With these grimacing facts, it would not be surprising why there are many people who would be alarmed by this.
Here’s the truth about Rottweilers and what every pet owner needs to know when they are interested in adding this dog to their brood.
One reason why the Rottweiler is known to be a violent dog is because of its history. This dog used to guard the cattle for the Roman soldiers and they accompanied the army. These dogs were prized since cattle happen to be the main source of nutrition for the army. This is also the dog breed which is used to bring the cattle to the market.
Later on, Rottweilers were the dogs that helped the butchers in pulling their cart. Police officers also brought Rottweilers to help them with their job. This dog is considered as a guardian and one of the best family friends.
By nature, the Rottweiler is territorial and this is one of the reasons why it can be a good guard dog. These dogs can be extremely protective of the things that they hold dear. When these dogs are not trained properly, they can give in to their domineering nature. In fact, this is the main reason why there are some Rottweilers are involved in attacks. - https://cuddleyourdogs.com/why-rottweilers-are-dangerous/
Did the owner say the usual “They won’t bite” or “They’re friendly” right before the attack?
I am completely fine with that.
Saves a bullet.
I’ve been going into a local animal shelter website here https://www.young-williams.org/adopt/dogs/ for several months now. Always 75% or more of the dogs there are Pits. Always at least 50 Pits each time I check. I am assuming Free Ranging Pits picked up to re-home. I’ve been trying to find a Ratty aka Rat Terrier {Feist} to train as my service dog {hearing loss 40% VA rated} with n luck. Plenty of Pits out there though and I do not trust any of them.
