Here we go again.

I know where this thread is going.......

"I am shocked! Shocked!"

[Red Badger]

...apparently broke it chains ...

If it needed chains for restraint, it should not be alive........

[Obadiah]

Oh how very, very sad. Why people own pitbulls is a complete mystery to me. Yeah, I know, it's the owner not the breed. Well, keep your breed away from my kids!

[MikeA]

Why in the name of all that is good would you keep these dogs when you have small children in your home? If you are single or married without children, fine. You have every right to risk your own hide. But why would you be so stupid as to put a child at risk, even for those who might argue the risk is minimal?

That's not the only pit bull attack that has happened here in Texas recently. There was another one that I heard on the news this morning. 2 pits were out and, if I heard the story correctly, an officer was dispatched and when she got out of the car the dogs attacked. They took her to the ground and mauled her but she survived. I've been looking for the story in print but can't find it.

[Beckwith]

Well, dad is going to have to live with this, won't he?

[SJSAMPLE]

I have been told, repeatedly, that attacks like this are rare.

[Beckwith]

You want an animal that will defend your family to the death but is as gentle as a lamb:



Please don't respond about the very few sick or abused ones. I've heard all that crap.

[CremeSaver]

When my children were young we had a German Shepherd, a wonderful beautiful female who I would trust with my life, but not my kids lives. Why do people with kids have pets that need to be chained?

Prayers for this poor little child.

"But my pit bull would never hurt a flea."

The proclamation of every pit bull owner just after their "pet" rips out the entrails of a child.

[Rightly Biased]

I just always wonder why we never see articles about a pet Australian Cattle Dog mauling a 2 year old?

[Texas_shutterbug]

damn, damn, damn

I've been attacked by a dog - no, it wasn't a pit bull - and it was freaking scary. Thank God it wasn't a pit bull or I would have much more seriously injured.

Just damn.

This website was set up after the death of Lilian Stiles of Thorndale,TX. She was maul to death in her frontyard by a pack of 6 or 7 pit bull and Rotwiller (sp) mixed breed dogs owned by her neighbor.


The neighbor, a Mr. Hernandez, was acquitted by a jury yesterday. He faced 6 months to 2 yrs in prison for negligent homicide. Milam county (TX), where both parties resided, has NO law concerning the leashing or caging of dogs.


Please visit this site. Your support will help prevent this from happening to other families.


Mrs. Stiles was our best friend's Mom.

Kids, the other other white meat.

small dogs = small bites

big dogs = big bites

mean dogs = many bites

All dogs bite....

Yes, I am a dog lover...and a respector of their ability to inflict wounds....
