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.

I’m sorry.
I simply *can’t* get past the third paragraph without going into a giggling fit.
It’s just too easy to “twist”.
‘Why the forensic analysis of the trampoline?”
Potential highly “beneficial” litigation of the manufacturer, of course.
Obviously it was defective or it would not have willfully flung said dwarf into aforementioned Pippo’s maw like so much herring to a sea lion.
[ban pit trampolines now!]
“Pippo”
The other, other Marx Brother.
I thought Baraq only had a sister?
Never trust a rat the tries to pass itself off as a dog. (Or a hippo.)
Wicked, biting sense of humor.
I like it.
:)
I know, it puts me in mind of the girls in Bangk...
[Forgive me and be with the starvin' pygmies down in New Guinea]
If alcohol didn't exist...
1.On average, someone is killed by a drunk driver every 40 minutes in US
2.Each day 36 people die and almost 700 more are injured in vehicle crashes that involve a drunk driver
3.The total cost of alcohol related crashes is roughly $51 billion
4.In 2006, out of 1,746 fatality that included children one out of six (291) was killed by an alcohol impaired driver
5.Half of all teenage fatalities is due to drunk driving
---------------------------
If firearms didn't exist...
Between 1999 and 2006...ages 1-16...4579 deaths by firearms
~654 children per year
-------------------------
If swimming pools didn't exist...
[it would] prevent the tragic drowning of 250 children under the age of 5 annually in swimming pools
----------------
If liberals didn't exist...
49,551,703 preborn were killed between 1973 and 2007
~1,457,403 per year.
----------------
If all the dogs on this list didn't exist...
then all those children would still be alive.
And what is your purpose in reading them?
And it’s “sole”, not “soul”
The most horrible, aberrant, repulsive thing about these threads is that the pit bulls attack, maul, tear the flesh of human beings.
I’m sorry you have a problem with being warned. I think Chet99 is doing us a service.
If you knew anything about these dogs
you'd know they were and are used for far more than fighting and biting.
They are a multi-functional dog.
You'd also know that they were specifically bred not to be human aggressive.
Stop your hand-wringing liberal nonsense,
get some actial experience with these dogs
and come back with some conservative solutions.
If Chet were doing us a real service he would be posting attacks by all dogs.
He would be offering analysis to the causes of all dog attacks.
He would be offering conservative solutions to lessening dog attacks.
What service does he providing beside titillating a morbid desire
of some to read threads of "horrible, aberrant, repulsive things"?
What have you learned that you couldn't have learned in just one thread by Chet?
I think it's an 'horrible, aberrant, repulsive thing'
that a fanatic like Chet will post a "pit bull attack" resulting in an injury like this...
but refuses to post a fatality caused by any other type of dog
Great post kanawa!
Let see what our dog “expert” (LOL!) has to say.
I disagree. Just because I might post articles on how bad Obama is, does that mean if I don’t post articles on how bad all politicians are, then I’m not doing anyone any favors?
If you don’t like them. don’t read them! But to come on here just to snipe and complain seems ....odd, at best.
So Chet99 is doing us a service by his fascination on reporting pitbull attacks,but not reporting any other dog attacks???????????????
