Pit bulls attack 6-month-old boy

Police are investigating a dog attack Saturday at a Murrieta apartment in which a 6-month-old boy was bitten in the groin, authorities said.
Animal control officials said the child lost his testicles in the attack.
Sgt. Bob Landwehr said today that police were called to a report of a dog bite shortly before 10 a.m. Saturday at an apartment complex at 26301 Arboretum Way. The mother and her friend had left the baby strapped into a portable carrier and unattended in a room with a pit bull and a pit bull mix, he said. It was not clear how long the baby had been left alone.
One or both of the dogs attacked the baby, tearing off his diaper and biting his scrotum, Landwehr said. The mother and friend came to the baby's rescue when they heard him scream.
Landwehr said the baby was taken to Rancho Springs Medical Center in Murrieta and transferred to another hospital, but he did not have an update on the child's condition.
The dogs were seized by animal control, Landwehr said.
The owner of the dogs signed a release to allow them to be euthanized, said Willa Bagwell, director of Animal Friends of the Valleys, which provides animal control services for Murrieta.
Bagwell, who spoke with the mother, confirmed that the baby's testicles were bitten off in the attack.
Landwehr said no one has been arrested in connection with the incident, but the investigation is continuing.

The dogs removed the testicles from the wrong person.
The mother should NOT be allowed to breed again. And the father of this child, too.
Baby, dirty diaper, dogs. Obviously no one with a brain was anywhere nearby.

No one can justify this.
If pit bulls were not allowed to exist in this country this child would be unharmed. Period!!!!!!!
A pit bull did this exactly like many of us said it would happen. This will not be the last child maimed or killed by a pit bull. It happenes regularly and frequently.
How many children will be attacked before they finally outlaw these dangerous dogs? They will be eliminated here in our country just as they have been in the UK.
Allowing pit bulls around a small child is unbelievably stupid!!!!!

Thanks for raising awarness about these dangerous dogs by posting these articles.

Obamacare can do nothing for this child with a trillion dollars, who has been raped by incompetent parents.
You won’t read this in a Hussein Asylum speech. The boy won’t be helped, pity.

I am a mother of two little kids, and just seeing the titles of the articles you post about dogs mauling babies makes me lose sleep. i wish you would not insist on posting mauling stories practically every single day. i know this stuff happens, okay? but good grief, it is like your soul purpose in life is to collect and post only these horrific stories.

Bingo!
And, this is being indulged at a time when the
real menace (Hippo Attacks!) goes on unabated - as seen at the 1:30 mark in this horrific video, when the totally unprovoked Hippo goes after the "business end" of the unsuspecting water craft.

Some people get off on looking at bloody, gory car crashes or watching snuff films...he’s “into” pit bull/human mutilated people stories.
He spends all of his time _scouring_ the web for these stories, in desperate hope of finding new ones.
Just ponder the psychology behind *that* for a while and then ask yourself what’s *really* the most horrible, aberrant, repulsive thing about these threads.
Read his whole “thematic” posting history.
You think you’ve got nightmares *now*.........

They didn’t get a stimulus package.
That’s why they’re pissed.

SSSHHHHHHHHH!
Quiet!
Next thing you know the felons in Washington will be picking our pockets for a program to properly socialize Pits and Hippos.
And Pit Hippos.

"A dwarf, nicknamed Od....."
The eulogy was, of course, given by another dwarf, named "Even."
Makes one wonder. Why the forensic analysis of the trampoline?
And will the Pippo be euthanized before it can kill again?
